The CLARITY Act faces an uphill battle to become law in 2026, as it remains stuck in debate over provisions that would ban presidents and federal officials from issuing or profiting from digital assets.
📊 Base rate: Omit
What's driving it
- • The House Subcommittee advanced the bill on July 25, but this procedural step does not guarantee full passage and likely explains the slight recent uptick in 'Yes' odds from very low levels (Legis1, Jul 25).
- • Ongoing criticism and media focus on loopholes that could allow former President Trump to profit from crypto, per a July 23 Forbes report, reinforces 'No' sentiment by highlighting political obstacles to a clean bill.
- • A New York Times article from July 22 and a CNBC piece from the same date both emphasize that the debate over stopping a president from selling coins is a major sticking point, suggesting the bill's fate is uncertain and driving the 'No' odds above 60%.
- • The headline about Bitcoin price drops tied to CLARITY Act woes (Benzinga, Jul 25) indicates broader market uncertainty around the bill's passage, which aligns with elevated 'No' odds.
The case for YES
- • The bill has advanced out of a House Subcommittee as of July 25, a concrete legislative step that shows some momentum and keeps it alive for further consideration in 2026.
- • If Congress is motivated to act before the 2026 midterm elections or to address crypto market structure concerns, the CLARITY Act could be folded into a must-pass vehicle, increasing its chances of becoming law.
- • The bill has bipartisan attention, with both House and Senate versions in play, and the specific ban on presidential coin issuance could gain traction as a popular anti-corruption measure.
The case for NO
- • The core debate over rules to prevent a president from selling coins, as reported by the New York Times on July 22, remains unresolved, creating a legislative logjam that makes passage unlikely in 2026.
- • Strong criticism from figures like Warren and Trump backers (Forbes, Jul 23) suggests the bill faces opposition from both sides of the aisle, reducing its path to a majority in both chambers.
- • With only about five months left in 2026, the bill still needs to clear multiple full committees and floor votes in both chambers; any significant disagreement could easily run out the clock.
What to watch
- • If President Biden explicitly endorses the CLARITY Act or signals acceptance of the anti-profit clause, 'Yes' odds would likely rise (likely direction: Yes).
- • If key committee markups or a Senate floor vote on the crypto bill are scheduled before the August recess, it would create a clear near-term event to watch (likely direction: Yes if scheduled, No if postponed).
- • Any new scandal or report about a current or former official profiting from crypto could intensify public pressure for the ban, potentially pushing the odds toward 'Yes' (likely direction: Yes).

Democratic Presidential Nominee 2028
The field is virtually nonexistent: only two candidates register at 1% each, and no one has broken 5%, making this the most open Democratic nomination race in modern history. The single biggest recent shift is the DNC's decision to put South Carolina first in the 2028 primary calendar (Axios, Jul 25), which could reshape candidate strategies and favor a different type of contender.

The field is moderately concentrated with Labour leading at 36%, but Reform UK and Conservative are close; the biggest recent shift is Reform UK overtaking the Conservatives for second place, as seen in the stated odds, though no headline directly explains this.

Republican Presidential Nominee 2028
The Republican nomination market is essentially a blank slate with no declared candidate, as the combined odds of the two listed figures (Byron Donalds at 1%, Mike Pence at 0%) barely exceed 1%, indicating the race is wide open for any major figure to enter and become the immediate front-runner.

Despite Newsom's commanding lead, the field is far from settled: the 20% 'Other' share and AOC/Ossoff's recent gains per Action Network (Jul 8) suggest a pool of anti-Newsom sentiment waiting for a viable alternative.
