Clarity Act failure hands Asia and Middle East an edge, Apex Group CEO says

  • —The Clarity Act fell short of 60 Senate votes in September
  • —Apex Group services more than $3.5 trillion in assets across 50 jurisdictions
  • —Hughes sees tokenized money market funds yielding 5% versus 3% on bank savings
  • —Saudi Arabia has opened real estate to tokenization and foreign investment
Why it matters: A prolonged U.S. legislative vacuum could divert institutional RWA and stablecoin projects to faster-moving jurisdictions.
