The Senate Banking Committee advanced the Clarity Act 15-9, and Sen. Cynthia Lummis urged Congress to pass it, warning that a future Democratic-controlled committee could block crypto regulation. The article presents the bill as a way to set rules for digital assets and protect U.S. consumers and the industry.
The Senate Banking Committee advanced the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025 by a 15-9 vote. Sens. Ruben Gallego and Angela Alsobrooks were the two Democrats who voted for it. The bill would clarify whether certain digital assets are regulated by the SEC or CFTC, protect developers, and give law enforcement tools to address illicit finance.
Lummis said the bill could help keep crypto businesses and jobs in the United States and provide consumer protections. She urged Congress to act before a potential change in Senate control, arguing that Elizabeth Warren would oppose the industry.
