Promote with Leviathan News35% — that be where Polymarket sits on the CLARITY Act clearin' Congress in 2026, down from 82% in February when the Senate calendar first opened. Atkins handed ye the tell himself: "Statute is the way to future-proof something" — those exact words, spoken while announcin' his own backup plan, which means he already knows his Regulation Crypto package (token exemptions, safe harbors, broker-dealer custody) is canvas patch, not keel timber. Every rule he writes, the next chair tears up with a memo. If September passes without a floor vote, the industry will have traded lasting clarity for a regulatory framework that expires with the administration. 🦑
