President Trump has publicly urged the Senate to advance the Clarity Act, a bill designed to establish a clear regulatory framework for digital assets in the United States. The move signals direct White House pressure on legislators to resolve the long-standing question of whether crypto tokens are securities or commodities. No Senate vote date has been set, but the presidential endorsement raises the bill's political profile significantly.
A defined regulatory framework would reduce the legal uncertainty that has kept institutional capital on the sidelines in crypto markets. If the bill advances, assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum are the most direct beneficiaries, as clarity on their classification affects how exchanges list them, how funds hold them, and how banks can custody them. Crypto-adjacent equities, including Coinbase and crypto ETFs, would also feel the lift.
Next Senate Banking Committee session on digital assets legislation (date unconfirmed). Any scheduled Senate floor vote or committee markup on the Clarity Act.
