  5. Our readingA bill marketed as bringing regulatory clarity to crypto can instead carve the industry out of the scrutiny applied to similar financial products.

    Their wordsThe Clarity Act isn't about "clarity" any more than the PATRIOT Act is about patriotism. It promised regulatory structure but would have carved out crypto from the scrutiny applied to similar financial products, instead building a custom regime to allow it to operate without meaningful oversight.

  9. Our readingThe Clarity Act is industry-drafted deregulation rather than clear rules of the road, with a loophole-ridden ethics section added only to win over pro-crypto Democrats.

    Their wordsThe result is not "clear rules of the road", it's industry-drafted deregulation with a loophole-ridden ethics section bolted on only after Republicans realized that even the pro-crypto Democrats installed with the help of $130 million in industry spending wouldn't sign off on a bill placing no limits on Trump's historic grift.
