Investor Kevin O’Leary Predicts CLARITY Act Revival in 2026

Investor Kevin O’Leary stated at the Avalanche Summit that the recent Senate procedural vote failure of the CLARITY Act is merely a delay, predicting a revival in the first half of 2026. O’Leary argues that the passage of the Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act by the House Ways and Means Committee will force Congress to implement accompanying market structure regulations. He emphasized that once the government begins taxing activities like staking, a clear regulatory framework becomes inevitable. Industry consensus remains that while the bill faces legislative hurdles, the need for federal clarity on SEC and CFTC jurisdiction remains a priority.
