4-bullet brief | narrative

Polymarket prices a 17% chance the CLARITY Act is signed into law by the end of 2026, keeping it a clear long shot.
SEC proposing Regulation Crypto adds regulatory momentum, but the Polymarket contract shows markets do not treat this as a near-term legislative lock.
The Senate yea-vote ladder (CM-EVT-CSYS5KPXK6) implying sub-50 votes reinforces the 17% full-enactment price; passage and signature are two separate hurdles.
Resolves via Polymarket's UMA oracle; the contract requires presidential signature by December 31, 2026, not just Senate passage.

interp: Polymarket is the venue; the 17% price sits well below a coin flip, consistent with the Senate vote count distribution showing likely failure to reach 60.llm_judge_cm_signal_v1
