if CLARITY doesn't pass committee by end of april, odds of passage in 2026 become extremely low. this needs to hit the senate floor by early may... floor time is running out and odds diminish every day that passes the framing right now is that the dispute over stablecoins rewards is holding up the CLARITY act. but even if compromise is reached on rewards, there are very likely to be other hurdles: possibly DeFi, dev protections, SEC powers, or even "ethics" recall that senate banking's draft (ANS) from January was partisan (though it ostensibly was somewhat moderate to reflect an attempt at bipartisanship, dems ultimately did not directly contribute). it's very possible that rewards are not the "final" hurdle but instead just the current hill the bill is dying on. there are still other contentious issues that are ongoing behind the scenes but simply haven't bubbled to the surface yet because rewards are currently a showstopper
