Why Washington Still Can't Give Crypto Regulatory Certainty

Anthony Scaramucci says the U.S. crypto industry has made progress, but he isn't convinced Washington will deliver the regulatory certainty the market is waiting for.

The SkyBridge founder joins Crypto in America at the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium to discuss the Clarity Act, why he believes political incentives could complicate its path through Congress, and what could happen if U.S. crypto policy continues to rely on agency rulemaking instead of legislation.

The conversation explores the Trump administration's approach to crypto regulation, the durability of SEC and CFTC rules, institutional adoption, why a failure to pass the Clarity Act could have very different implications for Bitcoin and altcoins, how stablecoins could strengthen the U.S. dollar, crypto donor fatigue in Washington, and Scaramucci's outlook for the crypto market over the next six months.
