Yellow Network President Alexis Sirkia says the CLARITY Act is the structural restructuring US cryptocurrencies have been waiting for.

His point is that more serious builders are not looking for a free pass from oversight. They are looking for predictability.
“Infrastructure companies cannot scale globally if the rules change every few months or if no one knows how current laws apply to decentralized systems,” Sirkia said.
He points to the Clarity Act’s provisions on disclosure standards, anti-money laundering requirements, and oversight structures as the foundations that allow companies to make long-term capital and employment decisions.

Sirkia’s definition of success is straightforward. He wants founders to launch products in the US without fear of retroactive enforcement, and for banks to treat cryptocurrency infrastructure as a legitimate counterparty rather than a compliance obligation.
“I would also like to see a healthy relationship between regulators and industry participants in general,” he said. “Cryptocurrencies will move faster when there is clearer dialogue and communication.”
Globally, Sirkia sees the Clarity Code as much a signal as a rulebook. “I see the Clarity Act as an important signal that the United States wants to play a serious role in the future of digital finance,” he said. “This is important for everything from stablecoins to token assets to next-generation trading infrastructure.”
