'Bitcoin Doesn't Need CLARITY,' Anthony Pompliano Says: 'We'll Hit All-Time Highs Either Way'

Bitcoin doesn't need the CLARITY Act to reclaim all-time highs, argues Anthony Pompliano.

The asset already has more regulatory clarity than any crypto and will rally regardless of whether the bill passes.

Pompliano framed the real fight as a stablecoin turf war — banks want crypto firms bound by the same rules, while crypto firms say banks spent years blocking them from the system and are now just protecting their deposit business.

If the bill fails, he expects Coinbase and others to simply build offshore.

Fed Meeting Prediction Market Preview: What Will Kevin Warsh Say?

Fed Chair Kevin Warsh faces his second press conference Wednesday with Polymarket pricing a 76% chance of a hold and 24% odds of a 25bps hike after the U.S.-Iran ceasefire collapse sent oil spiking and forced traders to reprice fast.

The more revealing action is on Kalshi, where "Productivity" leads at 88%, "AI" at 81%, and "Balance Sheet" at 86%.

With "Dissent" at only 30% despite economists expecting at least two hawkish dissents, the board reflects a chairman who prizes consensus and keeps family fights inside the family.
