According to CoinMeta, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes stated in a video interview with Altcoin Daily on August 23, 2026, that he does not dislike the clarity Act, but believes that the act is merely a tool for project teams to spend more money on lawyers and build barriers. He argued that this is actually very detrimental to the real innovation and useful product developers in the field of cryptocurrencies in the United States. He pointed out that since Bitcoin was born in 2009, it has never needed the clarity Act. What is truly needed is for Besenst to increase the scale of buybacks overnight to save the U.S. Treasury market, and for the Federal Reserve to print money to help Japan convert its government bonds into cash. He suggested that Trump should veto the act.
