Fact Check

The Polymarket market page directly confirms a 73% probability for the CLARITY Act (H.R.3633) being signed into law by Dec 31, 2026, which matches the claim's assertion of odds exceeding 73%. The Bitcoin Magazine X post dated May 8, 2026 is the direct originating source of the claim and aligns with the Polymarket data. The Galaxy Research piece corroborates the broader legislative context. The small residual uncertainty (10%) accounts for the possibility that the odds may have fluctuated slightly above or below 73% at the precise moment of the claim, and that the claim bundles 'Bitcoin and broader digital asset legislation' while the specific Polymarket market tracks H.R.3633 specifically.
