CLARITY Isn’t Perfect, but It’s the Bill US Congress Must Pass This Summer
The US Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025, known as the CLARITY Act, aims to establish the US as a leader in digital assets. The bill is a result of extensive bipartisan policy work and seeks to improve the current regulatory landscape. It sets high standards for decentralization and encourages transparency in the blockchain industry. Critics argue it favors the crypto industry, but proponents assert it addresses regulatory needs while pushing for innovation. Some provisions, such as restrictions on peer-to-peer transactions in certain markets, are contentious but can be amended. The House is expected to vote on the bill soon, with a favorable reception anticipated in the Senate. Passage of CLARITY would enhance the SEC and CFTC's regulatory capabilities, fostering a more robust framework for investor protection and innovation in the blockchain sector.
