Veteran trader Peter Brandt said the potential passage of the US Clarity Act is unlikely to have a significant impact on Bitcoin\u2019s price, after indications that it could pass Congress as soon as January.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs it a world-shaking macro development? Nope. Needed for sure, but not something that should redefine value,\u201d Brandt told Cointelegraph on Friday. \u201cHaving an asset regulated, particularly an asset for which die-hard investors never wanted to be regulated, is not an earth-shattering event,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

His comments came after White House crypto and AI czar David Sacks said on Thursday<\/a>, \u201dWe are closer than ever to passing the landmark crypto market structure legislation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward to finishing the job in January,\u201d Sacks said.<\/p>\n

Clarity Act has already been priced in: Exec<\/h2>\n

While Brandt does not see the Clarity Act as a catalyst that will drive Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) back to its all-time high of $125,100, he emphasized that the legislation would still be a significant step forward for the wider crypto industry. \u201cThe Clarity Act would be positive because it would greatly clarify the regulatory structure for crypto assets,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Echoing a similar sentiment to Brandt, Ledn\u2019s chief investment officer, John Glover, told Cointelegraph that the potential passing of the Clarity Act has already \u201cbeen priced into the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t expect this event to have a significant impact on the markets on day 1,\u201d Glover said, adding that any benefits to price action are likely to be more delayed.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is another step toward broad-based acceptance of Bitcoin and ETH as investable assets, so over time I still expect the price trajectory to be up and to the right over time,\u201d Glover said.<\/p>\n

Brandt opined that Bitcoin is in a bear market, though said the Clarity Act could mean his \u201cdownside bias is moderate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brandt says Bitcoin could fall to $60,000 in 2026<\/h2>\n

\u201cI believe the charts suggest that Bitcoin could trade down to the $60k level, likely in Q3 of 2026,\u201d he said. That would represent a 31% drop from Bitcoin\u2019s price at the time of publication of $88,000, according<\/a> to CoinMarketCap.<\/p>\n

The bill has been top of mind not only for the crypto industry but also for pro-crypto lawmakers.<\/p>\n

On Dec. 9, Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis, a member of the US Senate Banking Committee and one of the most prominent congressional proponents for addressing digital asset market structure, said she wants to take the next step in advancing the bill<\/a> in the coming days.<\/p>\n
