The committee is also planning a July 17 hearing in New York focused on how the CLARITY Act could shape digital-asset and financial innovation.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_825438\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-825438\" style=\"width:593px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-825438\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image source: X<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The back-to-back hearings give the bill\u2019s supporters a high-profile venue to make their case at a moment when momentum has been building but a final vote remains elusive. The July 17 session, held outside Washington, is designed to spotlight the industry\u2019s economic stakes and the cost of continued regulatory uncertainty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">For Lummis, the hearings are a chance to keep the pressure on. The Wyoming Republican has cast the coming weeks as decisive, arguing that the window to pass comprehensive <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> legislation this year is narrow and closing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u2018We Are Not Doing That With Digital Assets\u2019<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Lummis has sharpened her rhetoric as the calendar tightens and in one of her bluntest verbal offerings, she rejected the idea that the United States should let others govern technology Americans helped pioneer, stating: <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u201cThe U.S. did not invent the internet and then hand it to someone else to govern. We are not doing that with digital assets either.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The remark distills her central argument, which is that without clear federal rules, the United States risks ceding its lead in digital assets. She has repeatedly warned that legal uncertainty is <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\">pushing developers and <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> firms<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> to friendlier jurisdictions, and that Congress must act before that drift becomes permanent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The senator has also tied the bill to a broader competitiveness case, contending that clear rules would keep <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bitcoin<\/a> and open-source developers based in the United States rather than driving innovation, jobs, and investment offshore.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Where the Bill Stands<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The CLARITY Act has already advanced out of the Senate Banking Committee and been <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\">placed on the Senate legislative calendar<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\">, putting it in line for a full floor vote. But getting it across the finish line has been another matter. The measure needs 60 votes to clear the Senate, and would then have to be reconciled with the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/119th-congress\/house-bill\/3633\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">version the House passed in 2025<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> before it could reach the president\u2019s desk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Lummis has placed the more likely floor-vote window before the August recess, posturing that deadline as a forcing function. Industry advocates have echoed the urgency, warning that a missed window could <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/us-senator-warns-clarity-act-delay-could-push-crypto-rules-to-2030\/\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">delay comprehensive crypto rules<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> for years and leave the market operating under a patchwork of state regulations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Supporters outside Congress have continued to press lawmakers as well, with <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Michael Saylor<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> arguing that <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/michael-saylor-says-clarity-act-could-unlock-btc-mstr-and-strc-markets\/\">clear rules could unlock institutional markets<\/a> for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BTC<\/a> and related products, adding to a coalition that has urged the Senate to move quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The next verified step is the July round of hearings, beginning with Warsh\u2019s July 14 testimony and continuing with the July 17 session on digital-asset innovation. Those hearings will set the tone heading into any floor vote, and lawmakers will face questions about both monetary policy and the long-delayed effort to write rules for digital assets.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/clarity-act-july-hearings-house-warsh\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways The House Financial Services Committee has set July 14 and July 17 hearings touching Fed policy and the CLARITY Act.
