JPMorgan Warns Delayed Crypto Legislation Could Benefit Traditional Financial Infrastructure
JPMorgan analysts warned that delays in passing the U.S. Digital Asset Market Clarity Act could shift tokenization efforts from public blockchain networks to traditional financial infrastructure, weakening crypto ecosystems. The bank emphasized regulatory clarity as a key factor influencing institutional adoption of open blockchains over private systems. The warning comes amid growing Wall Street interest in tokenization projects led by firms like DTCC and JPMorgan itself. Citi estimates the global tokenized asset market could grow to $5.5 trillion by 2030, but regulatory progress remains critical for public blockchain adoption. Polymarket currently gives a 30% chance that the Clarity Act will pass before year-end. Support is growing across traditional finance and crypto sectors for the bill, which would clarify oversight between SEC and CFTC. BlackRock, Fidelity, Franklin Templeton, and Goldman Sachs have all voiced support, with David Solomon calling it a necessary step to advance innovation.
