Crypto Market in Crisis Mode Amid Clarity Act Uncertainty and Tariff Pressures

The cryptocurrency market is facing significant challenges as two major news stories have sent shockwaves throughout the industry. The odds of the Clarity Act Crypto 2026 on Polymarket have plummeted from 82% to just 53%, signaling a decline in confidence in regulatory certainty. This has been compounded by the 15% global tariff policy imposed through Trade Act Section 122, which is exacerbating macroeconomic pressures.

The combination of these two factors has sent the crypto Fear & Greed index plummeting into the Extreme Fear zone, reinforcing negative sentiment across the digital asset market. Many analysts believe that as long as tariff and regulatory uncertainties remain, it will be difficult for digital asset prices to recover.
