According to CoinDesk, Patrick Witt, executive director of the President's Council of Advisors for Digital Assets, said the White House is targeting July 4 for Congressional passage of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, calling it "a tremendous birthday present for America." The mechanics: Senate Banking Committee markup in May, four working weeks of Senate floor time in June, then a House vote before Independence Day. Witt said the stablecoin-yield compromise — banning bank-deposit-equivalent yield while permitting spending rewards — is "closed," and negotiations on the conflict-of-interest provision are nearing resolution, provided no individual official is singled out.
