US Crypto Regulation Heats Up
Thailand audits high-value USDT transactions as CLARITY Act doubts rise
US crypto regulation is heating up, with the CLARITY Act pending before the Senate, as reported by White & Case LLP, which passed the House on July 17, 2025, and advanced out of the Senate Banking Committee on May 14, 2026. The chances of the CLARITY Act becoming law in 2026 have dropped to 40%, according to coinpaper.com, with Donald Trump urging the Senate to pass the act, saying "don't let China win". Meanwhile, Thailand's central bank and securities regulator are jointly reviewing large USDT transactions, as part of an anti-grey capital push, with rules expected to take effect in the fourth quarter of 2026, as noted by Blockhead.
