《CLARITY Act》 draft is expected to be released by this weekend, with a hearing and vote scheduled for the following week.
**December 10, Washington D.C.** — At the Blockchain Association Policy Summit, New York Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and Wyoming Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis discussed Congress’s push for comprehensive cryptocurrency industry regulation.
Lummis stated the goal is to release a draft of the CLARITY (Market Structure) Act by this weekend, followed by a hearing next week for amendments and a vote. Both parties are in ongoing bipartisan talks—their first meeting last week went very smoothly. “Nothing is holding this bill up,” she noted.
Congress has long sought to advance broader cryptocurrency market structure legislation, but progress has lagged. This July, the House passed its version of the Digital Asset Market Structure and Investor Protection Act, providing new momentum. Since then, the Senate has moved forward with a comparable bill: the Senate Banking Committee’s draft explicitly defines regulatory jurisdiction between the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission

Trump recently stated he will soon pick a new Fed chair but could hold off on the announcement until early 2026.

Octra will kick off a $20 million token sale on Sonar at a $200 million valuation.
On December 10, Octra Labs—the team behind privacy-focused blockchain project Octra—announced a public token sale on the Sonar platform, scheduled for December 18.
Sonar, a token issuance platform founded by Jordan “Cobie” Fish, was recently acquired by Coinbase from ICO platform Echo.
Octra noted Tuesday the one-week sale targets $20 million in proceeds, selling 10% of its total OCT token supply. This values the project at a fully diluted valuation (FDV) of $2 billion. The sale will use a fixed-price, commitment-based allocation model: participants deposit funds and receive tokens proportionally, a structure designed to boost decentralization.
If demand is robust, Octra may increase the sale’s allocation; any unsold tokens will be burned. All sold tokens will be fully unlocked and distributed shortly after the sale concludes.
