Shark Tank investor Kevin O’Leary expects the Clarity Act to return to the Senate agenda as early as the first quarter of next year following midterm elections, despite failing to advance this week with only 49 votes. O’Leary anticipates renewed legislative momentum once the political calendar shifts post-election. The House Ways and Means Committee has already advanced the Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act, which addresses taxation for staking, mining, micropayments, and broker obligations. O’Leary argues that establishing crypto as a tax revenue source will compel lawmakers to resolve the broader regulatory framework split between the SEC and CFTC, stating that taxation necessitates comprehensive market structure policy.
