U.S. Senate Advances Clarity Act to Regulate Cryptocurrencies Before August Recess
U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has advanced the Clarity Act, a bill aiming to establish the first federal regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies. The legislation seeks to define digital tokens as securities or commodities and clarify regulatory oversight. Passage would mark a significant policy win for President Donald Trump and the crypto industry, following last year's stablecoin law. The bill requires support from at least eight Democrats and all Senate Republicans to pass, facing opposition from some Democrats concerned about conflicts of interest and banking competition.
