The CLARITY Act represents a fundamental shift toward permissionless market structure. Regulatory frameworks will now adapt to crypto innovation rather than restrict it. Under this legislation, the CFTC gains exclusive authority over digital commodities spot markets while platforms must implement real-time surveillance to detect manipulation—directly addressing wash trading that inflates volumes by up to 40% on some exchanges. Meanwhile, Fidelity's direct ( $SOL ) access for U.S. brokerage clients and Bitwise's NYSE-approved Solana ETF demonstrate how permissionless systems inevitably force traditional finance to evolve. With 40-70 million monthly active crypto users now in the ecosystem—up 10 million from last year—institutional infrastructure naturally gravitates toward platforms that provide unrestricted access to global liquidity without gatekeepers.
