It is her first Consensus appearance, part of a broader push by federal officials to be seen at the industry\u2019s biggest annual event.<\/p>\n<p>The session comes at a pivotal moment for crypto legislation. The CLARITY Act is racing toward a potential Senate Banking Committee markup before the May 21 Memorial Day recess, with Senators Cynthia Lummis and Bernie Moreno warning that failure pushes the next window to 2030. <\/p>\n<p>As crypto.news reported, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse called the past week a \u201cbig positive shift\u201d in Senate momentum from the same stage on Day 1.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Senate debut for crypto policy<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Moody\u2019s appearance follows Senator Kirsten Gillibrand\u2019s Day 2 remarks, covered by crypto.news, in which Gillibrand expressed optimism about the CLARITY Act\u2019s path through Congress. <\/p>\n<p>CFTC Chairman Michael Selig and White House official Patrick Witt also attended Consensus 2026 for the first time, as the Senate Banking Committee targets a CLARITY Act markup the week of May 11.<\/p>\n<p>Consensus 2026 drew more than 20,000 attendees to Miami Beach, with institutional participation at approximately 35% of the audience, representing an estimated $10 trillion in assets under management. <\/p>\n<p>Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan are first-time sponsors.
