JPMorgan Chase: Regulatory measures partially offset the impact of the Clarity Act's failure to advance, but risks remain.

JPMorgan analyst Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou stated that recent measures by US regulators have offset some of the negative impact of the Senate's failure to advance the Clarity Act, but political and legal risks remain. Measures led by the SEC, CFTC, and OCC will encourage institutional participation in the crypto ecosystem in the short term, but only legislation can ensure the sustainability of the regulatory framework. Political and legal risk premiums will remain high until a comprehensive market structure bill is passed; if Democrats win the White House, existing measures could be overturned within two years. Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou believes the Clarity Act is unlikely to pass this year and may be delayed until 2027.
