    "The bill's collapse in a 49-50 cloture vote is a hard structural barrier; the market's 8% reflects near-zero legislative runway in the remaining 2026 calendar.",
    "The CFTC's pivot to rulemaking via existing authority signals regulators do not expect legislative rescue, reinforcing the market's lean against passage.",
    "Resolution requires the bill to be signed into law by end of 2026; the Senate cloture failure makes that mechanically very difficult without a new vote and a changed coalition."
