Clarity Act May Pass by July 'If Lucky': Sandra Ro

Global Blockchain Business Council CEO Sandra Ro stated the Clarity Act—a proposed U.S. crypto regulatory framework—could pass by July 2026 if legislative progress remains favorable, though she cautioned optimism with "if lucky." The act aims to clarify ambiguous crypto regulations, addressing long-standing industry calls for legal certainty amid fragmented state and federal oversight. Ro highlighted growing bipartisan support as a key driver, noting lawmakers increasingly recognize blockchain’s economic potential despite past skepticism. Globally, she observed a shift toward more accommodating crypto policies, with jurisdictions like the EU and UAE setting precedents that may influence U.S. regulators. Delays remain possible due to election-year politics, but Ro emphasized urgency, arguing clear rules are critical to prevent innovation from migrating overseas.
