Treasury Secretary Advocates for Clarity Act Amid Rising Stablecoin Transactions

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has called on Congress to approve the Clarity Act, highlighting the growing significance of stablecoin transactions. According to NS3.AI, a report by Chainalysis projects that stablecoin transaction volume could escalate to $1.5 quadrillion by 2035, up from $28 trillion last year. The likelihood of the bill passing this year has increased, with Polymarket odds rising to nearly 70% from 50% earlier this week. Senate Banking Committee members are reportedly preparing to hold a hearing to vote on the bill before the month's end.
