There's a simple formula underneath every economy on earth:
GDP growth = population growth + productivity growth + debt growth
More workers, more output per worker, or more borrowing. That's all growth has ever been. When the first two stall, debt steps in to fill the gap, which grows the economy now by stealing from the future.
The problem is that the trend rate of growth has been falling for decades, in the US and every developed economy. It now sits around 1.75%.
The reason is the part you can't change. The working-age population is shrinking. Fewer workers means a lower ceiling on growth, no matter what anyone does about it.
So the economy leans harder and harder on the one lever that's left. Debt.
And that's where the real story begins.

That's what regulators do when they're worried but don't yet know how worried to be.
Update on Market Structure Timeline
#Clarity Act (Crypto Market Structure) is slated to pass out of the Senate Banking Committee next week, then get merged with the Senate Agriculture Committee portion once that text clears. From there, it heads to the floor for a full Senate vote, back to the House for final passage, and ultimately to President Trump's desk. It will be signed into law by March at the earliest.
