TechFlame News – Y Combinator, the renowned startup accelerator, has stated that in the future, all of its portfolio companies—not just those focused on crypto or fintech—may adopt cryptocurrency technologies, particularly infrastructure like stablecoins.
YC, which has been an early investor in companies such as Airbnb, DoorDash, Coinbase, Stripe, Reddit, OpenAI, and Kalshi, is now calling on the U.S. Congress to pass the crypto market structure bill known as the "Clarity Act."
YC believes that for the crypto industry to enter a new phase, it must achieve deeper integration with traditional financial institutions such as banks and brokerages. The Clarity Act is expected to provide the regulatory foundation for this integration. The bill aims to clarify whether digital assets are securities or commodities, establish a registration pathway with the CFTC, and stipulate that customer assets belong to clients in the event of bankruptcy.
However, the bill's prospects remain uncertain. Supporters argue that it has bipartisan potential, while opponents point to limited Democratic backing, the approaching midterm elections, and ethical controversies tied to Trump’s direct involvement with the crypto industry—all of which could increase legislative resistance.
