#CFTC ⚡️ White House Blitzkrieg: Trump Pressures Senate to Pass CLARITY Act
The Trump administration, along with key regulators (SEC, CFTC, Treasury), has launched an unprecedented pressure campaign on the Senate. The goal is to finally pass the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act before the 2026 midterm elections and forever change the rules of the game in the $2.4 trillion crypto market.
🏛 What’s happening?
The entire financial bloc of the US government has come together as a united front to beat out the last arguments from the banking lobby, which has been blocking the bill in the Senate for almost a year.
Top stories of the week:
• Myth busting: The White House Council of Economic Advisers has published a report that proves: profitable stablecoins do NOT threaten traditional banks. The banking sector’s losses will be only 0.02%, while the ban on stablecoin income will cost Americans $800 million annually.
• Regulatory readiness: SEC Chairman Paul Atkins and CFTC Chairman Mike Selig announced the launch of “Project Crypto.” The agencies have already developed mechanisms for transferring authority: once an asset becomes sufficiently decentralized, it moves from the SEC’s supervision (as a security) to the CFTC’s (as a digital commodity).
• Treasury whip: Scott Bessant (Treasury) introduced tough rules for stablecoin issuers under the GENIUS Act. They are now officially “financial institutions” and must have the technical ability to block or freeze transactions at the request of authorities.
📢 Why is this important now?
The CLARITY Act already passed the House of Representatives in 2025 with strong bipartisan support, but it is “stuck” in the Senate Banking Committee.
⚠️ What will this change for the industry?
1. End of the era of uncertainty: Clear separation between the SEC and the CFTC.
2. Legalization of income: The ability to receive interest on stablecoins at the legislative level.
3. Global leadership: The return of crypto innovations from offshore (Singapore, Abu Dhabi) back to the USA.
