Cointelegraph and CoinTurk News EN both cover the same Token2049 panel but give different timing for the CLARITY Act's failed Senate vote.
What all sources agree on
- Digital Asset co-founder and CEO Yuval Rooz spoke at Token2049 in Singapore about using the current regulatory environment to accelerate institutional blockchain adoption.
- Rooz compared blockchain adoption to Uber and Airbnb becoming entrenched before regulators could restrict them.
- Rooz said the industry should pursue adoption so that 'whatever happens in 2028, there is no going back.'
- The next US presidential election is scheduled for Nov. 7, 2028.
- Binance co-CEO Richard Teng said he hoped the CLARITY Act would still become law and described regulatory backtracking as 'the biggest fear' for the industry.
- Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson said legislation would provide greater certainty but cautioned the industry should not rely on the CLARITY Act passing.
- Johnson said the SEC and CFTC were already working to provide regulatory clarity, allowing innovation and institutional adoption to continue.
Where the reports disagree
1Year the CLARITY Act failed to advance in the Senate
The comments come after the CLARITY Act failed to advance in the Senate procedural vote in September.
The panel discussion followed the September 2023 failure of the CLARITY Act to advance in the US Senate.
What would settle it: The official US Senate vote record for the CLARITY Act procedural vote.
What to make of it
Treat the panel quotes and attendee list as established since both outlets match on wording; the exact date of the Senate's CLARITY Act procedural vote is unresolved between these two reports and should be checked against the Senate's own voting record before being cited.
