In response, crypto-related stocks showed divergent performance in the U.S. stock market on the 16th. $Circle (CRCL.US)$ rose more than 6%, while $Coinbase (COIN.US)$ dropped more than 4%, marking their second consecutive day of declines. Caution over rising interest rates also weighed on sentiment, and $Bitcoin (BTC.CC)$ crypto markets, including Bitcoin, were generally weak.
On the other hand, $Cipher Digital (CIFR.US)$ surged more than 10%. Expectations rose for its power assets usable for AI data centers, attracting buying interest.
Delays in regulatory frameworks weigh on CRCL and COIN
What was voted on this time was not the bill itself, but a procedural motion to advance deliberations in the Senate. Therefore, the rejection does not mean the bill is immediately scrapped. However, the timing of a revote is uncertain, and concerns are spreading that the establishment of crypto asset regulations will be further delayed.
The "CLARITY Act" aims to clarify the regulatory jurisdictions of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), establishing clear rules for crypto asset service providers. It was expected that as legislation progresses, exchanges and stablecoin issuers would find it easier to form partnerships with financial institutions and roll out new services.
