Trump Pushes CLARITY Act to Future-Proof Crypto Regulation
U.S. President Donald Trump has announced his support for codifying a “future-proof digital asset market structure,” referring to the pending Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act). In a statement posted to his Truth Social platform on May 28, Trump vowed that the legislation would shield the crypto industry from what he called “crypto haters” in future administrations. The CLARITY Act, which passed the House in July 2025, has since faced delays in the Senate due to political gridlock, conflicts of interest, and concerns over ethical provisions. The bill has advanced through Senate committees but requires bipartisan support to pass the chamber, where Republicans hold a narrow majority. While Trump claims the Act will provide certainty for the crypto market, its progress remains uncertain, as some lawmakers demand stricter ethics clauses tied to industry regulation. Trump‘s latest move aligns with a broader pro-crypto agenda he has championed since his return to the White House in 2025. This includes Executive Order 14178, signed in January 2025, which aimed to strengthen U.S. leadership in digital financial technology. In March 2025, Trump formally authorized the creation of a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, further solidifying his administration’s commitment to cryptocurrency. However, skepticism lingers over Trump‘s personal ties
