Crypto’s CLARITY push heats up, but prediction markets aren’t buying the August deadline

- The crypto industry’s latest masterpiece: 200 companies begging Congress for clarity, while prediction markets laugh in the face of their optimism. Polymarket and Kalshi have slashed the odds of the CLARITY Act passing before August, proving that while lobbyists speak in "competitiveness imperatives," traders see only bureaucratic gridlock. Senate leaders are busy juggling budget reconciliations and election-year distractions, leaving your favorite digital asset framework stuck in committee purgatory. The coalition letter is loud, but the market is louder: don’t bet on Washington moving fast. If you’re waiting for regulatory salvation this month, you’re not an investor; you’re a volunteer.
