America's banking establishment and outdated regulatory frameworks dating back to the 1930s are slowly ceding crypto dominance to Europe. While the EU pushes forward with MiCA—a comprehensive regulatory blueprint—the US remains trapped in fragmented, protectionist policies that stifle innovation.

The CLARITY Act offers a path forward: establishing a unified, sovereign American standard that modernizes cryptocurrency oversight and directly competes with European regulatory leadership. It's not just about catching up—it's about reclaiming strategic advantage in shaping global crypto governance.

The clock is ticking. Either the US moves past legacy thinking or watches the EU set the industry standard by default.
