Former CFTC Chairman Gary Gensler pointed out that the true intention of the CLARITY Act is not to directly support crypto-native enterprises, but to provide traditional banks with a clear regulatory framework, enhancing their confidence in participating in the construction of digital asset infrastructure. This perspective redefines the positioning of the act: it is not a one-sided concession to the crypto industry, but a key initiative to modernize the financial system. In the context of rapidly evolving payment methods and asset forms, banks urgently need clear rules to avoid compliance risks and establish a foothold in the competition. The next crucial step in the legislative process is whether Washington can accept this new narrative—viewing the CLARITY Act as a necessary tool for the banking industry to adapt to the transformation of digital finance, rather than merely a policy concession to cater to the crypto ecosystem.
