Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan said crypto will continue moving forward even if the Clarity Act fails to pass this week. Congress is entering a month-long recess next week, leaving the legislation a three-day window to advance through the Senate.
That compressed timetable makes the bill's immediate path the key question. Hougan's comments frame crypto's broader progress as separate from the Clarity Act's near-term outcome, even as the Senate window keeps regulatory clarity in focus.
