Got it. Here’s the revised version without em dashes:

The hearing happened.
Kevin Warsh sat in front of the Senate Banking Committee on April 21. That part is done. What matters now is everything around it.
Warsh isn’t just crypto friendly. He’s crypto exposed. His disclosure shows real positions across DeFi, L1s, prediction markets, and Bitcoin infrastructure. That’s new. We’ve never had a Fed Chair nominee this close to the rails.
He’s even said it outright. Bitcoin matters. Not as a gimmick, but as a signal. A check on policymakers.
That alone changes the conversation.
But politics is still the bottleneck.
Sen. Thom Tillis is holding the line. No vote for Warsh until the Jerome Powell investigation wraps. That’s not noise, that’s the path. If Tillis doesn’t move, neither does the nomination.
Meanwhile, the CLARITY Act just got bumped. Not killed, but delayed. The Warsh hearing took the oxygen, and now the timeline slips again.
So zoom out:
Crypto finally has a seat at the Fed conversation.
But the gate is still political.
And timing, not ideology, is the real risk.
Watch Tillis.
