Anchorage Policy Leader: Five Gaps Remain in Institutional Encryption Infrastructure After CLARITY Approval

CoinFeed reported on May 12th that, according to DeFiprime, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee is about to consider the CLARITY crypto market structure bill. Polymarket trading data indicates that the bill has a 40%–50% chance of passing in 2026. Kevin Wysocki, head of policy at Anchorage Digital, predicts that the bill will receive conditional support from some Democratic senators in the committee, with key controversies focusing on ethics and anti-money laundering provisions. The core of CLARITY is to elevate existing SEC and CFTC crypto regulatory guidelines to codified law and establish a temporary registration and "de facto safe harbor" through Section 106, allowing compliant institutions to continue operating before the final rules are issued.
