Although final passage of the CLARITY Act—commonly referred to as the crypto 
market structure bill —has been delayed in Congress, some experts believe its 
eventual approval could unleash an unprecedented wave of capital into the 
crypto sector. Trillions On Hold In a recent post on X (previously Twitter), 
the expert known as 360Trader argued that trillions of dollars in 
institutional money are waiting on regulatory certainty before entering 
digital assets. Related Reading: History Repeating? XRP Flashes Signal Last 
Seen Before Explosive 60,000% Rally According to his assessment, the CLARITY 
Act could act as the trigger that opens Wall Street’s doors to crypto in a 
meaningful way, potentially driving more than $5 trillion into the space over 
time. 360Trader pointed to comments from White House Digital Asset adviser 
Patrick Witt, who stated that trillions in institutional capital are 
effectively sidelined as firms wait for legal clarity. Large asset managers, 
including BlackRock, are often cited as examples of institutions constrained 
by the current patchwork regulatory environment. If the CLARITY Act becomes 
law, the expert believes the crypto market capitalization could surge beyond 
$4 trillion, drawing comparisons to the rally that followed the approval of 
spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) back in 2024. Catalyst For Next 
Crypto Bull Run? Stablecoins are another key element of the discussion. Under 
the proposed framework, banks would receive clearer authorization to issue 
stablecoins. The stablecoin market has already expanded significantly, 
reaching a reported $300 billion in supply in 2025 and processing 
approximately $33 trillion in transaction volume—figures that exceed the total 
throughput of Visa’s network. The possibility of major banks such as JPMorgan 
launching fully integrated stablecoins backed by substantial payment activity 
has been described as a potential turning point for the sector. The yield 
component is also drawing attention. Some stablecoin products currently offer 
returns in the range of 3% to 5%, compared with traditional savings accounts 
that average roughly 0.07%. Related Reading: World Liberty Financial Cites 
‘Coordinated Attack’ — But Are There Deeper Issues? 360Trader suggested that 
this disparity could prompt a significant reallocation of capital—potentially 
as much as $6 trillion—from conventional bank deposits into crypto-linked 
instruments. Pension funds, university endowments and retail investors could 
all gain broader exposure to higher-yielding crypto products. In parallel, 
traditional financial institutions may begin integrating decentralized finance 
(DeFi) infrastructure to enable faster settlement and more efficient 
transaction rails. Yet, the traditional banking sector has consistently pushed 
back against stablecoin yield structures, citing concerns about the impact on 
their deposit bases. This has resulted in the current delay and the ongoing 
White House meetings. In the expert’s words: …I&#8217;m bullish on CLARITY unlocking 
trillions in dormant capital. This could be the catalyst that separates the 
next bull run from everything we&#8217;ve seen before. Featured image from OpenArt,
