Next Thursday is a key date in the recent crypto circle. The CLARITY Act, which was overwhelmingly passed by the US House of Representatives in September last year, will undergo its final vote on January 15.

What does this mean? In simple terms, the regulatory authority of exchanges, brokerages, market makers, and other institutions in the United States will be clearly defined. More importantly, some activities originally under the jurisdiction of the SEC will shift to the CFTC — and the CFTC’s regulatory framework is relatively more flexible.

For project teams, this is a significant turning point. Adjustments to the regulatory framework often come with room for mechanism innovation. Whether it’s leading tokens like ETH or BNB, or small and medium projects, they may all find new development paths from this.

ETH-0,15%

BNB0,7%

Here it comes again, I've heard about the CLARITY Act several times before. What will happen on January 15th is still uncertain. Moving authority from the SEC to the CFTC would make things more flexible? I think it's just a chance for big players; small investors will still get cut. Brothers trying to catch the bottom with this, pay attention and don't let another good news turn into bad news.

Wait, is the CFTC more flexible than the SEC? Are they really going to loosen regulations this time, or is this just another prelude to a roller coaster?

Another "critical moment," I bet five dollars there will be no significant movement after Thursday. Is the CFTC more flexible than the SEC? Uh... just listen, don't take it too seriously. Can regulatory frameworks be innovative with just a tweak? Wake up, I've heard this line too many times.

Damn, is the SEC finally going to give in? About time, the CFTC is indeed much more flexible. --- January 15th, mark it down, this time things might really change. --- Basically, it's the SEC getting kicked out and the CFTC taking over. For us workers, it means—finally there's hope. --- Always talking about innovation space, I just want to know when the coin prices will go up, stop with these empty talks. --- Wait, is this really overwhelmingly approved? Why does it feel like this news is only being hyped up this week? --- I believe in the flexible CFTC framework, but actually implementing it might still be a long way off, so don’t get too optimistic. --- By the way, small coins might have a bigger chance this time? It feels like the top coins have already been tightly held down. --- Watching next Thursday, see if it’s really good news or just another prelude to cutting the leeks. --- Regulatory framework adjustment = a new money-raising mechanism? Sounds pretty unreliable. --- It should have been done this way a long time ago. It’s been dragging on so long, American politicians are really inefficient.

Here we go again. Can the SEC changing to the CFTC save the market? Wake up, everyone. There's a world of difference between passing a bill and actually implementing it.
