U.S. Senate CLARITY bill progress lifts Coinbase, Circle more than bitcoin

As discussion of the U.S. Senate’s CLARITY bill advances, markets have reacted more strongly in assets expected to benefit from clearer regulation, including Coinbase, Circle, Ethereum and Solana, than in bitcoin. A revised draft includes provisions on stablecoin rewards, SEC fundraising exemptions, DeFi classification, AML duties, allocation of regulatory authority and tokenisation. Analysts say bitcoin already has much of the institutional framework, while exchanges and stablecoins could be direct beneficiaries.
