Citi: Pressure is Increasing on the CLARITY Act

Citi's Assessment of the CLARITY Act

Citi reported that the CLARITY Act continues to be a central legitimizing force for digital assets in the U.S. As lawmakers' targets for the spring session increase, the risk of delays is also rising.

DeFi Definitions May Be Challenging

Definitions of DeFi (decentralized finance) present the hardest challenge in the legislative process. However, stablecoin rewards offer the most apparent pathway toward consensus.

Expectations for Progress on Tokenized Stocks

Citi also emphasized that tokenized stocks could advance through hybrid methods, pilot projects, or stricter securities labeling.
