US Senator Bernie Moreno said the US CLARITY Act could pass “hopefully by April.” He made the comment in a CNBC interview at Mar-a-Lago in Florida on Wednesday.
Moreno linked the US CLARITY Act timeline to ongoing talks on a crypto market structure bill. He described the next month as a window to move the bill through Congress.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong joined Moreno in the CNBC segment. Armstrong said they met with people from crypto, banking, and Congress at the World Liberty Financial forum to work on market structure issues.
US CLARITY Act dispute centers on stablecoin rewards and interest-bearing stablecoins
Armstrong said past debate focused on stablecoin rewards. He said banks raised concerns about how yields on stablecoins could affect deposits and interest flows.
Armstrong said Coinbase previously pulled support for the US CLARITY Act. He said the draft included provisions that would ban interest-bearing stablecoins. He also said the draft positioned the SEC primary regulator for the broader crypto industry.
In the CNBC interview, Armstrong said the talks now show progress. He said there is “now a path forward.” He also said the goal is a “win-win-win outcome,” after earlier disagreements on the crypto market structure bill.
Polymarket odds jump after US CLARITY Act April comment
After Moreno’s April timeline, Polymarket odds moved quickly. The report said the odds of the US CLARITY Act passing in 2026 briefly rose to 90% on Wednesday.
The report also said the Polymarket odds later fell. It listed 72% as the level at the time of publication. The shift tracked the news cycle around the US CLARITY Act comment.
Moreno addressed the delay in plain terms. He said lawmakers got “hung up” on stablecoin rewards. He added that rewards “shouldn’t be part of this equation,” as the crypto market structure bill moves forward.
US CLARITY Act politics: Moreno dismisses midterm risk, Sacks cites earlier push
Moreno also rejected the idea that midterm politics could derail the US CLARITY Act. “The house isn’t going to go Democrat, and neither is the Senate,” Moreno said when asked about a possible shift in Congress.
He tied that view to broader political issues. He said voters were “sick and tired of open borders.” He also cited “high inflation” and “an out-of-control government,” while discussing why he expects the political balance to hold.
