Trump Pushes Congress to Pass the CLARITY Act — BTC Tops $70K! 🇺🇸
President Trump renewed his call for Congress to pass the Digital Asset Market CLARITY Act, urging the Senate to deliver a "fair version" of the stalled crypto market structure bill during a White House summit with top industry leaders — including Coinbase's Brian Armstrong, the Winklevoss twins, and Robinhood's Vlad Tenev.
🔑 Key Points
"We need Congress to take the next step," Trump said, calling the bill "powerful structured legislation which will keep us ahead of China."
The Act would classify most tokens as digital commodities under CFTC oversight, while some remain SEC-regulated securities.
Bitcoin surged past $70,000 for the first time since June on the news.
Includes ~$150M for anti-fraud enforcement and insider resale restrictions to curb pump-and-dump schemes.
⏳ The Holdup
Though passed by the House last year, the bill is stuck in the Senate over partisan ethics disputes. Republicans need ~6 Democratic votes to hit the 60-vote threshold. A key procedural vote looms on September 15.
📈 Why It Matters
Regulatory clarity is the missing piece for deeper institutional crypto adoption. If passed, expect:
Less regulatory uncertainty for exchanges & issuers
Fresh institutional inflows
U.S. cementing its "crypto capital" status
👀 Bottom Line
All eyes on the Senate's September 15 vote. Could this be the catalyst crypto markets have been waiting for?
Will CLARITY finally pass? Share your take below! 👇
