The Clarity Act aims to establish clearer crypto regulations in the U.S., which has been a source of uncertainty for investors. With an 83% chance of the bill passing by 2026, and Ripple CEO predicting an 80-90% chance by April, resolution of stablecoin rewards could boost market confidence. This clarity may encourage institutional investors to engage more actively in the crypto market, potentially leading to a rally in altcoins. There’s a lot happening in crypto right now, and one date keeps coming up: March 1. Some investors are wondering if that could mark the beginning of the next altcoin rally. The reason? Major regulatory movement in Washington. **March 1 Could Be a Turning Point** The White House has set a March 1 deadline to resolve the stablecoin rewards dispute that has been holding up the broader crypto market structure bill, often called the Clarity Act. This bill aims to create clearer rules for crypto in the United States. And clarity is something the market has lacked for years. According to prediction markets, there is currently an 83% chance that the Clarity Act will be signed into law in 2026. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has even said he believes there is an 80 to 90% chance the bill passes by April. If that happens, it could remove one of the biggest uncertainties hanging over crypto. **Why Stablecoin Rewards Matter** The main issue slowing the bill has been stablecoin rewards. Banks want limits on crypto platforms offering yield on idle stablecoin balances. They worry that customers could move money out of traditional banks into crypto if rewards are too attractive. Crypto firms argue that banning yield would hurt innovation and make the U.S. less competitive. Now, a compromise may be forming. Instead of allowing passive rewards just for holding stablecoins, platforms may be allowed to offer rewards tied to activity, such as transactions or participation. If this issue is resolved by March 1, the broader bill could move forward quickly. **Why This Could Trigger an Altcoin Rally** Regulatory uncertainty has been one of the biggest reasons institutions have stayed cautious. Large investors do not like gray areas. They want clear rules from the SEC and CFTC before committing serious capital. If the Clarity Act advances, confidence could return. Markets often move before the news becomes official. That’s why some investors are watching late February and early March closely. ### Related Stocks - [GBTC.US - Grayscale Bitcoin Trust BTC - ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GBTC.US.md) - [COIW.US - Roundhill COIN WeeklyPay ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/COIW.US.md) - [BITF.US - Bitfarms Canada](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BITF.US.md) - [ETH.US - Grayscale Ethereum Mini Staking ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ETH.US.md) - [BLOK.US - Amplify Transform Data Sharing ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BLOK.US.md) - [QETH.US - Invesco Galaxy Ethereum ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/QETH.US.md) - [ETHW.US - Bitwise Ethereum ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ETHW.US.md) - [ETHE.US - Grayscale Ethereum Staking ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ETHE.US.md) - [FBTC.US - Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund - ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/FBTC.US.md) - [COIN.US - Coinbase](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/COIN.US.md) ## Related News & Research | Title | Description | URL | |-------|-------------|-----| | Coinbase 首席执行官表示加密货币交易所被 “误解” | Coinbase 首席执行官布莱恩·阿姆斯特朗声称，加密货币交易所被投资者 “误解”，并指出华尔街在公司面临 30% 股票下跌的情况下低估了该公司。他认为，传统金融将数字资产视为威胁，类似于过去 Uber 和 Airbnb 等公司的颠覆。社 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276453663.md) | | Uniswap 创始人谴责诈骗加密货币广告，受害者 “失去了一切” | Uniswap 创始人 Hayden Adams 对冒充该平台的欺诈广告发出了警告，此前有一名受害者损失惨重。尽管多年来一直在举报，诈骗广告仍然存在，诈骗者在搜索引擎上针对 “Uniswap” 等关键词进行攻击。一位名为 “Ika” 的用户 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276504747.md) | | XDC 推出现实世界的 USDC 消费功能，稳定币总市值已突破 3070 亿美元 | XDC Network 和 OrbitX Pay 已经合作，使得用户可以在接受 Visa 的商户处使用美元稳定币（USDC）进行消费，旨在简化交易并减少法币转换。这一举措是在稳定币市场市值超过 3070 亿美元的背景下推出的，用户兴趣不断增 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276243663.md) | | 纳斯达克正在招聘一名加密货币经理；美国可能需要退还 1750 亿美元的关税 | 纳斯达克正在招聘一名加密产品经理，以领导其代币化战略，重点关注合规性、保管和互操作性。同时，美国最高法院裁定特朗普政府的关税是非法的，可能需要退还 1750 亿美元。此外，SEC 委员支持对支付稳定币实施 2% 的资本削减，白宫宣布将于 2 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276526478.md) | | KuCoin EU 在奥地利扩充本地合规和治理团队 | KuCoin EU Exchange GmbH 在奥地利扩大了其本地合规和治理团队，以增强其在欧洲市场负责任增长的承诺。这一举措与加密资产市场监管（MiCAR）相一致，旨在加强内部控制和治理体系。该团队由经验丰富的专业人士领导，专注于监管合 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276432560.md) | --- > **Disclaimer**: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.
