U S Congress Advances CLARITY Act for Crypto

The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, known as the CLARITY Act, has moved through Congress with bipartisan support. The bill, introduced in the 119th Congress, aims to split regulatory oversight of digital assets between the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. It defines digital commodities and establishes clear rules for market participants, investors, and consumers. The legislation seeks to close regulatory gaps that have hindered innovation while protecting Main Street. After a six‑month negotiation period, the House passed the bill on July seventeenth, 2025, with a 294‑134 vote. The Senate has since advanced the measure, and the bill is expected to reach the President’s desk in the coming weeks. If enacted, the CLARITY Act will provide a stable framework for the growing U.S. crypto market.
