US Senate Moves to Advance Clarity Act for Cryptocurrency Regulation
US Senate Majority Leader John Thune, a Republican, has filed to advance the Clarity Act, a bill proposing a comprehensive federal regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies. The legislation aims to define digital tokens as securities or commodities and clarify regulatory oversight. Passage requires 60 votes, including support from at least eight Democrats, who seek stronger safeguards. The bill represents a potential policy win for President Donald Trump and the crypto industry, which advocates say need legal clarity to boost adoption.
