Backers warn the U.S. risks losing influence as other jurisdictions advance <span>crypto<\/span> frameworks. The debate now centers on market certainty, consumer protection, innovation, and financial leadership.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott (R-SC), Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC), Representative French Hill (R-AR), Representative Glenn Thompson (R-PA), and Representative Tom Emmer (R-MN) are among the bill\u2019s leading advocates. Industry groups, consumer organizations, national security voices, and President Donald Trump have also <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/trump-presses-congress-to-pass-clarity-act-warns-banks-not-to-undermine-us-crypto-agenda\/\">backed<\/a> the push.<\/p>\n<p>On June 5, Lummis warned in an X post:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIf we don\u2019t pass the CLARITY Act this Congress, we are handing the future of digital finance to jurisdictions that do not share our values.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe CLARITY Act doesn\u2019t pick winners. It creates a level field where the best ideas win. That\u2019s how America is supposed to work,\u201d she also wrote in a June 4 X post. Lummis has repeatedly argued that delays allow other countries to set rules the U.S. should be writing.<\/p>\n<h2>US Lawmakers Frame CLARITY Act as Market Rules Fight<\/h2>\n<p>Chairman Scott said the bill \u201cputs consumers first, combats illicit finance, cracks down on criminals and foreign adversaries, and keeps the future of finance here in the United States.\u201d Hill stressed it \u201cprioritizes consumer protection and American innovation.\u201d Thompson noted:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThis landmark legislation will protect consumers, unleash entrepreneurship, and ensure the United States sets the global standard for the future of innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025 would create a federal market structure framework for digital assets. It would divide oversight between the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), while setting rules for token classification, disclosures, custody, exchanges, brokers, and consumer protections.<\/p>\n<p>The House passed H.R. 3633, the CLARITY Act, in July 2025, and the Senate Banking Committee <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/pro-crypto-clarity-act-h-r-3633-passes-senate-banking-committee-15-9\/\">advanced<\/a> the measure in a 15-9 bipartisan vote on May 14, 2026. The bill <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/what-comes-next-for-the-clarity-act-grayscale-flags-key-hurdles\/\">must<\/a> still clear the full Senate before lawmakers resolve any differences with the House version and send final legislation to the president.<\/p>\n<p>Supporters view the measure as a way to reduce regulatory uncertainty, while critics continue pushing for stronger safeguards addressing conflicts of interest, illicit finance concerns, and broader market risks.<\/p>\n<h2>Support Broadens as Senate Fight Over CLARITY Act Deepens<\/h2>\n<p>Support now extends beyond crypto-focused groups. A Harrisx <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/clarity-act-poll-52-support-70-say-us-should-have-passed-crypto-legislation\/\">poll<\/a> found 52% support after voters reviewed the proposal, while 70% said the U.S. should already have passed <span>crypto<\/span> legislation. More than <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/160-national-security-veterans-back-clarity-act-as-senate-crypto-battle-reaches-critical-stage\/\">160 national security veterans<\/a> backed the measure. AARP, a leading advocacy group for older Americans, also <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/aarp-backs-clarity-act-ahead-of-senate-banking-markup\/\">endorsed<\/a> Section 205, citing <span>crypto<\/span> kiosk scams and reported losses exceeding $389 million.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/a-quick-introduction-to-crypto\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Crypto<\/a> advocacy group Stand With <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/a-quick-introduction-to-crypto\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Crypto<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/crypto-advocacy-group-urges-senate-yes-vote-after-clarity-act-advances\/\">urged<\/a> senators to support final passage, while <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/28000-americans-sign-petition-urging-senate-clarity-act-marku\/\">28,000 Americans<\/a> signed a petition calling for Senate action. A16z <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/a-quick-introduction-to-crypto\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">crypto<\/a>, the digital asset investment arm of venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/a16z-crypto-warns-us-falling-behind-mica-as-senate-committee-advances-clarity-act\/\">warned<\/a> the U.S. risks falling behind Europe\u2019s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework. Ripple has also <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/ripple-supports-clarity-act-garlinghouse-says-this-is-the-moment\/\">backed<\/a> the legislation.<\/p>\n<p>Lummis also cautioned:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe next window for digital asset legislation after this Congress is likely 2030.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cUntil then, developers remain exposed with no legal protections, and law enforcement remains without the tools to hold bad actors accountable. The CLARITY Act solves both,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate fight remains contested. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/clarity-act-senate-vote-warren-crypto-regulation-2026\/\">opposed<\/a> the bill during committee markup and offered 44 amendments, none of which passed. Trump has <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/trump-presses-congress-to-pass-clarity-act-warns-banks-not-to-undermine-us-crypto-agenda\/\">urged<\/a> Congress to send the CLARITY Act to his desk, arguing that the U.S. should lead in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/a-quick-introduction-to-crypto\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">crypto<\/a> and digital finance rather than allow banks or regulators to undercut the administration\u2019s agenda. Lummis has also argued that failed exchanges can force customers into creditor proceedings instead of guaranteed asset access.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/clarity-act-push-gains-momentum-as-lawmakers-race-to-lock-in-us-crypto-rules\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways The CLARITY Act has attracted support from a wide range of political and industry stakeholders.
