Trump SAVE act stalls crypto CLARITY act push
President Donald Trump has declared he will refuse to sign any legislation until Congress passes the SAVE America Act, adding new uncertainty to the stalled Digital Asset Market CLARITY Act.
Trump posted the ultimatum on Truth Social on March 8, demanding the SAVE Act, which requires proof of citizenship for voter registration, be moved to the front of the congressional agenda.
“The Senate will have to deal with the SAVE Act first, then we can possibly get the Clarity Act, but we are running out of time,”
Wrote X user Chad Steingraber.
The CLARITY Act passed the House in July 2025 with bipartisan support in a 294-134 vote but has remained in the Senate Banking Committee since September after a planned January markup was postponed.
Industry tensions over whether crypto platforms should offer yield-like rewards on stablecoins remain the central policy dispute holding up negotiations.
Banking groups including the Bank Policy Institute and executives such as JPMorgan chief Jamie Dimon argue yield-bearing stablecoins could trigger deposit flight from commercial banks.

VIPOil Risk Premiums and rToken Dividend Arbitrage Strategies
1. This week we focus on cross-asset positioning under an energy shock and arbitrage opportunities in tokenized-stock cash dividends. We recommend assessing market direction separately from income sources. Higher oil can weigh on growth valuations, lift inflation expectations, and spark expectations of Fed rate hikes, putting pressure on equities and crypto. 2. rToken net cash dividends can be distributed separately, but buying spot, shorting a perpetual, and holding across the record date does not automatically create an arbitrage. First confirm ex-dividend eligibility, platform snapshots, after-tax amounts, and the corporate-action rules for the short leg. Then compare funding fees, spreads, and execution costs. A dividend arbitrage strategy can be applied to STRC. 3. Next week's Fed decision and major technology earnings are key. Lower policy uncertainty can help restore risk appetite, but a sustained rebound still needs confirmation from rates, cloud growth, capital expenditure, and free cash flow. Our base case is a monthly-timeframe rebound in risk assets and crypto as earnings season, the Fed meeting, and the midterm elections pass and uncertainty recedes. Assets in focus: BTC, ETH, SOL, WTI, ASML, MSFT, GOOG, AMZN, CAT, and STRC
