In this episode of Prediction Market News, Kelvin Sparks is joined by Sarah Wynn, The Block’s senior policy reporter, and Adrian Wall, Managing Director of the Digital Sovereignty Alliance, for a full teardown of the CLARITY Act as it stalls in the Senate.
They walk the live fights: the DOJ–state AG ethics standoff, the BRCA developer-protection battle, the Coldcard exploit landing mid-debate, the SEC and CFTC’s Plan B if Congress fails, and the tribal-gaming and NFL challenges to prediction-market jurisdiction.
