Trump said the Senate \u201cshould pass the Clarity Act\u201d and argued that \u201cChina, and many other countries, would like to take complete and total control of this major financial \u2018happening,&#8217;\u201d referring to <span>cryptocurrency<\/span>. He framed the legislation as critical to preserving U.S. leadership.<\/p>\n<p>The message also linked <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/a-quick-introduction-to-crypto\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cryptocurrency<\/a> with artificial intelligence (AI), saying the United States is leading while China is \u201cfighting hard.\u201d He ended with a blunt warning: \u201cDon\u2019t let China win on either subject!!!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act would create a federal regulatory structure for digital assets and define oversight responsibilities for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). It addresses asset classification, issuer disclosures, registration and trading platforms. The House passed its version 294-134 in 2025, including support from 78 Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate is developing its own market-structure legislation rather than adopting the House bill. The Senate Banking Committee has already advanced its version, while the Agriculture Committee separately approved legislation expanding the CFTC\u2019s authority over digital commodity markets. Lawmakers must still reconcile those efforts before a final measure can move through the full Senate.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Senator Lindsey Graham Appeared at the Center of Trump\u2019s Appeal<\/h2>\n<p>Trump opened the post by saying the Senate should act \u201cIn honor of Senator Lindsey Graham, a big supporter.\u201d The U.S. senator from South Carolina died Saturday, July 11, 2026, at 71 after a sudden illness. A preliminary report from the D.C. medical examiner said he died of an aortic dissection\u2014a tear in the main artery from the heart\u2014linked to underlying cardiovascular disease.<\/p>\n<p>Over the course of his career, Graham\u2019s position on digital assets shifted alongside broader Republican support for the sector. Advocacy groups such as 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> classified him as a reliable supporter of the industry, noting his votes in favor of key procedural measures and final passage of major legislation, including the GENIUS Act in 2025.<\/p>\n<h2>The Senate Now Faces Trump\u2019s Warning Against Delay<\/h2>\n<p>The appeal also builds on earlier administration efforts to position the United States as a leader in digital assets. The administration established a presidential working group on digital asset markets and created a Strategic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bitcoin<\/a> Reserve and U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile to support that objective.<\/p>\n<p>The immediate question is whether Senate negotiators can merge competing committee priorities into a bill capable of passing the chamber. Regulatory jurisdiction, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-are-stablecoins\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">stablecoin<\/a> provisions, ethics rules and other issues have complicated the path forward. Committee action shows momentum, but it does not guarantee that senators will deliver the legislation Trump demanded.<\/p>\n<p>Whether Trump\u2019s intervention changes the bill\u2019s trajectory now depends on Senate leaders agreeing on final legislative text and bringing the measure to the floor for a vote.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/trump-escalates-clarity-act-push-as-china-threatens-us-crypto-lead\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways Trump urged Senate action on the CLARITY Act and framed crypto regulation as an urgent geopolitical contest.
