Getting more Clarity on the Clarity Act

Brandon and Kate dig into the Clarity Act to separate headlines from substance — what the bill actually proposes, how it fits into the broader U.S. regulatory landscape, and why clarity (or lack thereof) matters for Bitcoin, stablecoins, and builders. They walk through the tradeoffs, the political reality, and what meaningful progress would actually look like.
