A Senate committee voted 15-9, largely along party lines, to advance the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act — a sweeping bill designed to establish a comprehensive regulatory framework for cryptocurrency markets. The legislation, backed heavily by the crypto industry, now moves forward in the Senate process after clearing a key committee hurdle. If enacted, it would be among the most significant crypto-specific laws ever passed in the United States.
Regulatory clarity is one of the biggest overhangs on crypto valuations — uncertainty about which tokens are securities versus commodities has kept institutional capital on the sidelines. A credible path toward defined rules removes a structural risk premium from major digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Crypto-adjacent equities, including exchanges and asset managers with digital asset exposure, could see a re-rating if this bill continues to advance.
