World Liberty Financial, backed by the Trump family, received preliminary approval for a national bank trust charter from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. This approval allows the company to manage its USD1 stablecoin under federal regulation, potentially complicating the US Senate's efforts to pass the Clarity Act, a key crypto market-structure bill. The Clarity Act had cleared the Senate Banking Committee but faces uncertainty as the Senate adjourned without a final vote. Market odds for the Act's passage in 2026 have dropped to 23.5%, reflecting increased doubts about its enactment this year. Investors and observers should watch for further political developments and regulatory actions that could influence the bill's future.
