Next Thursday could be one of the most important days in recent crypto history.
Not #CPI ,
Not #非农 ,
Not even #ETF .
But—
👉 January 15th, #CLARITY bill voting.
Let’s do a quick background review:
What does this bill do?
In a nutshell 👇
👉 sets “boundaries” for the crypto industry.
It clearly distinguishes and defines:
Crypto exchanges
Brokerages
Market makers
Project teams
Who in the US will regulate them and how.
And the most critical point is 👇
👉 a large portion of the regulatory authority that was originally vague or even defaulted to the SEC,
Will be explicitly transferred to the CFTC.
You should know,
The regulatory philosophies of the SEC and CFTC,
Are completely different species.
Why is this step important?
Because in the past few years,
The biggest problem in the crypto space in the US has been:
👉 Not knowing whether they are considered “illegal.”
It’s not that they don’t want to comply,
But—
You simply don’t know who to comply with.
SEC: Enforcement after the fact
CFTC: Rules first
The difference between these two,
Determines whether an industry can grow.
So the true significance of CLARITY is:
👉 It’s not “relax regulation”
👉 But making the rules predictable for the first time
And once the rules are predictable,
Three things will naturally happen:
1️⃣ Exchanges and market makers dare to expand their business
2️⃣ Traditional institutions dare to step in with supporting measures
3️⃣ Project entrepreneurs finally dare to start businesses in the US
This is a survival-level change for the industry.
You’ll notice a subtle point:
The market is still focused on 👇
ETF
Interest rates
Non-farm payrolls
CPI
But what could truly change the long-term fate of the industry,
Is instead being brushed past as “policy news.”
If January 15th goes smoothly,
You’re likely to see:
“Domestic US projects” re-emerge
Compliance narratives replace “guerrilla narratives”
The valuation system for assets regulated by the CFTC will be recalculated
This isn’t just about a single candlestick,
It’s the entire game’s rules starting to change.
So the real question this day is not:
👉 Will the market immediately rally?
But:
👉 Looking back years later,
Will you find—
Many opportunities,
Were already shaped on this day.
Next Thursday,
Keep an eye on it.
