Why This Question Matters

SoFi's crypto strategy (stablecoin, trading, business banking) currently depends on OCC interpretive letters, not statutory law. CEO Noto explicitly flagged this as a risk. Legislative codification would lock in SoFi's first-mover advantage and substantially reduce the REGULATORY_EXPOSURE from potential political cycle reversals. Failure to pass legislation leaves the window of regulatory vulnerability open.

Most favorable crypto regulatory environment in years. Bipartisan momentum for GENIUS Act. But Congress repeatedly fails on crypto legislation. Slightly above 50%.

Legislative prediction inherently uncertain. GENIUS Act progressed but faces hurdles. Midterm dynamics could accelerate or stall. Industry has lobbying resources but Congress slow.

True coin-flip. Strong momentum but poor Congressional track record. Administration supportive but many veto points.

Slightly below 50% because base rate of financial regulation passing in any year is low. Procedural delays can derail.
