Will a crypto market structure bill becomes law before Jan 1, 2027?
🗂 Part of event: Will crypto market structure legislation become law? →💡 What the odds say
The market puts this at about a 37% chance — less likely than not.
No money — just record your call and see if you were right. Yes is at 37% right now.
The CLARITY Act, the primary crypto market structure bill, is losing momentum as the August recess deadline approaches and President Trump's financial disclosure and new demands erode support, making the 38% Yes odds increasingly vulnerable.
What's driving it
- • President Trump's disclosure of $1.4B in crypto income on June 30 coincided with the bill's passage odds dropping from 48% to 39% (Yahoo Finance, Jun 30).
- • Trump's new demands on the bill caused a 50% chance assessment on June 29, which then declined further (CryptoRank, Jun 29).
- • Galaxy cut its odds to 50% on June 29, citing narrowing Senate floor time before the August recess (TradingView, Jun 29).
- • The CLARITY Act's odds had already fallen to 42% by June 28 (Crypto News, Jun 28), establishing a clear downward trend.
The case for YES
- • Bipartisan interest in establishing clear crypto regulations could push the bill through, as both parties have signaled desire for a market structure framework.
- • If the CLARITY Act passes before the August deadline, it leaves months for enactment before the January 2027 cutoff.
- • Compromise with President Trump—whose crypto income gives him a financial stake in the outcome—could unlock his support and revive the bill.
The case for NO
- • Senate floor time is rapidly narrowing before the August recess, making it very difficult to schedule a vote this year (TradingView, Jun 29).
- • President Trump's $1.4B crypto income creates a potential conflict of interest that may lead him to block or delay the legislation (Yahoo Finance, Jun 30).
- • The consistent decline in betting odds from 50% to 38% over the past month reflects real political headwinds and diminishing confidence in passage.
What to watch
- • The August recess deadline for the CLARITY Act: if no floor vote occurs by then, odds are likely to drop further (negative direction).
- • A public statement from President Trump either endorsing or opposing the bill: endorsement could boost Yes odds above 50%, while opposition could push them below 30%.
- • Any scheduled Senate markup or committee action in early fall would indicate progress and likely lift Yes odds.

Democratic Presidential Nominee 2028
The field is virtually nonexistent: only two candidates register at 1% each, and no one has broken 5%, making this the most open Democratic nomination race in modern history. The single biggest recent shift is the DNC's decision to put South Carolina first in the 2028 primary calendar (Axios, Jul 25), which could reshape candidate strategies and favor a different type of contender.

The field is moderately concentrated with Labour leading at 36%, but Reform UK and Conservative are close; the biggest recent shift is Reform UK overtaking the Conservatives for second place, as seen in the stated odds, though no headline directly explains this.

Will Trump announce he is running for President in the 2028 election?
The market surged 12 points in 24 hours after Trump's ambiguous remarks at the White House Correspondents' Dinner were interpreted by some as a formal declaration of a 2028 run, despite the clear constitutional bar on a third term.

Republican Presidential Nominee 2028
The Republican nomination field is exceptionally fragmented, with no candidate above 5% and the top three sum to just 1% — a sign that the race is truly wide open and still in its earliest jockeying phase, despite a recent poll placing Senator JD Vance near the top of a generic primary ballot (USA Today, Jul 23).

Democratic Presidential Nominee 2028
Despite Newsom's commanding lead, the field is far from settled: the 20% 'Other' share and AOC/Ossoff's recent gains per Action Network (Jul 8) suggest a pool of anti-Newsom sentiment waiting for a viable alternative.
