Last night, the big table at the White House — and pretty much every major name in crypto was in the room. You had the regulators — SEC, CFTC — sitting on one side. And on the other? A full lineup of exchanges: Coinbase, Robinhood, Kraken, Ripple, Chainlink. Even Nasdaq and ICE — the parent company of the NYSE — showed up. Regulators, TradFi heavyweights, and crypto natives — all in one room. ![Image](https://pub.pbkrs.com/social/topic/13db4c1f4e656654c1b25bd1edf2473c?x-oss-process=style/lg) And Trump, right in the middle of it, dropped a few things: First: The U.S. has internally discussed continuing to accumulate Bitcoin and other digital assets. Not a rumor — actual table talk. Wild. Second: Congress needs to get the CLARITY Act across the finish line — and soon. The old playbook was: “Run first, we'll catch you later.” The new one is: “We draw the lines first — you run inside them.” Total mindset shift. Huge. Third: The CFTC is actively looking at how Hyperliquid — the biggest name in perpetuals — could potentially enter the U.S. market in a compliant way. This wasn't just a meeting. It was a signal .Gold and Bitcoin both back above the 200-day MA ![Image](https://pub.pbkrs.com/social/topic/e8995133c93e2a5301ddb8bb06f91c02?x-oss-process=style/lg) # **Okay, so what exactly is the CLARITY Act?** Here‘s how the U.S. used to regulate crypto: no rulebook. You build for years, then the SEC shows up and says “that’s a security.”  You ask which rule — they say “read the court ruling.”——Rules weren’t written in law. They were written in **fines**. That‘s why the most expensive line item for U.S. crypto wasn’t servers — it was lawyers. Coinbase got sued and kept running. Ripple spent years in court just to find out what *wasn‘t* allowed. CLARITY flips that. It puts up signs at every intersection: SEC vs CFTC, security vs commodity, how to register. Follow them, you’re safe — no more waiting for a knock on the door. Before CLARITY, you calculated *odds of getting sued.* After CLARITY? *Cost and timeline for a license.* Coinbase‘s Brian Armstrong nailed it: “The next battle is 60 votes.” Trump’s support lasts one term. But a law? That sticks. Once CLARITY is in, reversing it costs more than anyone wants to spend. Crypto goes from *“an asset the president likes”* to *“infrastructure the country runs on.”*   👇**Drop your take (20+ words)** & click "Repost" to earn 288 Task Coins 🌟  🚫No duplicates · ⏰ Deadline: Aug 22, 2026, 23:59 PM SG # **👉 What to watch** BTC$iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF(IBIT.US)；ETH $IShares Ethereum Trust ETF(ETHA.US)  $Coinbase(COIN.US) the only pure-play crypto exchange in U.S. stocks. $Robinhood(HOOD.US) A unified crypto + stock trading platform for retail.

The whole gigantic financial machinery cannot proceed without it. It is that important! - **Heroic Lifesaver · 2026-08-20T09:30:24.000Z · 👍 1**: Being a skeptic and then a crypto investor myself, I have seen the rise of Btc, Eth and then the altcoins. To cut the grandfather story short, I believe that crypto is heading towards one particular objective.If you want to know what it is, I will write a post on it. Too long to comment. 😂 - **Captain's Watch** (2026-08-20T12:35:43.000Z): so good🥳 - **Fattycat · 2026-08-20T07:23:53.000Z**: I am not sure if CLARITY Act addresses Anti money laundering ( AML ) issues. This is one of the grey area. 😉. --- > **Disclaimer: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.**
