Bitcoin Ties to US Debt Crisis Fuel CLARITY Act Hurdles in Senate
US Senator Cynthia Lummis recently tied Bitcoin to America's $39.2 trillion national debt crisis, suggesting that it could be a potential hedge against currency debasement for younger Americans.
Lummis has argued that Bitcoin's fixed supply makes it structurally distinct from sovereign debt instruments and that the US fiscal trajectory is unsustainable.
The CLARITY Act, which aims to establish jurisdictional divisions between the SEC and CFTC, remains subject to significant procedural and policy hurdles in the Senate.
