This updated Clarity Act text reflects bipartisan hard work over August—specifying when decentralized-in-name-only DeFi protocols must register with the CFTC and limiting the DeFi provisions to spot and cash transactions, in response to Native American concerns about prediction markets. Overall, this text contains over 100 changes requested by Democrats. Let’s get this done! lummis.senate.gov/wp-content/upl…

This lawsuit highlights a dangerous gap in the fight against illicit finance in crypto. Right now, exchanges and issuers can’t freeze stablecoins if they suspect illicit activity without fear of a lawsuit. Section 305 of the Clarity Act gives issuers and exchanges the power they need to stop illicit finance in its tracks without having civil liability. coindesk.com/business/2026/…

We didn’t cede the internet to Europe, and we can’t afford to cede digital assets the same way. The Clarity Act allows the United States to write these rules instead of watching from the sidelines while Singapore or the UAE write them for us. Our country has a long history of leading. We cannot break from that tradition.

Under the Clarity Act, digital asset exchanges and brokers get treated as financial institutions under the Bank Secrecy Act. My bill ensures anti-money laundering programs and customer due diligence become real obligations, not voluntary suggestions.

The Clarity Act passed out of @BankingGOP Committee on a bipartisan 15 to 9 vote because my colleagues and I know that we must ensure the United States leads the way on digital asset regulation, and time is running out to secure America’s leadership. Every moment we wait to get this bill to the president’s desk is a moment we risk ceding this leadership to another country. We owe it to American consumers to make sure this industry operates under US regulations and builds on US soil.

If this bill fails it won’t be because of ethics, it will be because Democrats didn’t join Republicans in embracing a bipartisan bill that protected consumers, cements America’s leadership in digital assets, and empowered law enforcement to clamp down on illicit finance. On sues, Democrats continue to demand changes that would give future regulators the ability to kill the crypto industry. If we can bridge those gaps I’m confident we can pass Clarity, but they require further compromise from Democrats, not the White House.

FTX customers waited for years for bankruptcy courts to claw back their money because current law never built a framework for digital assets. The Clarity Act makes digital commodities customer property in bankruptcy, ensuring consumers are protected and made whole.

Read my new op-ed in @NEWSMAX: Clarity Act Ensures US Will Write Rules for Digital Assets "The Clarity Act replaces years of regulatory uncertainty with common-sense rules of the road. It establishes clear statutory boundaries between the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), gives American businesses predictable standards, and provides consumers protections that Washington failed to deliver under the previous administration."

When a crypto exchange goes bankrupt today, customers are forced to get in line behind lawyers and creditors with low priority in hopes of maybe recouping a fraction of their assets. The Clarity Act ensures consumers’ assets are protected just like they would be with traditional finance. By making digital commodities customer property, my bill ensures people get their funds back first.

Wyoming built a legal framework for digital assets companies years before Washington even started paying attention to digital assets, and we’ve proven it works. The Clarity Act takes that same instinct— clear rules that keep builders here— and applies it nationally.

.@SenLummis rips into big banks for wanting a do-over on the Clarity Act stablecoin compromise their own lobbyists agreed to: “The banks want changes to the GENIUS Act — they want the changes in the Clarity Act… They’ve been working hard on the Republican side of the aisle to scuttle our bill until they get what they want.” “Senator Tillis and Senator Alsobrooks… they came up with a compromise with the banks, with their lobbyists. The banks later fired their lobbyists and now want a do-over because they didn’t get everything they wanted.”

The future of finance should be built in America. It was great to speak at the SALT Conference alongside @SenLummis to discuss why passing the Clarity Act is critical to U.S. competitiveness, consumer protection, and keeping digital asset innovation here at home. I’m focused on getting this legislation across the finish line and cementing America’s leadership in the digital economy!

@SenLummis

Some community banks are suggesting stablecoins are driving deposit flight. The data says otherwise: BofA shows household deposits rising across income groups this year, and the FDIC reports domestic deposits grew for a seventh straight quarter. Community banks actually outperformed the industry, posting 5% deposit growth. If the worry is the Clarity Act compromise itself, that’s backwards. Section 404 bars stablecoin issuers from paying anything that functions like interest, even disguised as rewards or points, and bans marketing stablecoins as deposits or FDIC-insured. It’s actually tougher than current law, not looser. The real story behind closing community banks isn’t stablecoins. It’s consolidation: 2,000 community banks lost in a decade, only 62 new ones formed, and the buyers are super regional banks, not crypto companies. The Banking Committee already built a nine-provision community bank package into the housing bill to help with deposit retention, on top of tightening stablecoin yield rules under Clarity. Killing the Clarity Act won’t help community banks. It just protects the status quo they say is broken.

Investors need a durable digital asset regulatory framework to keep investing capital and expanding operations in the United States. As Congress works toward setting the rules of the road through the CLARITY Act, I encourage the financial regulators to continue moving full steam ahead with their existing authorities to support the crypto ecosystem here at home. The Biden years underscored the costs of inaction and regulatory uncertainty. Ultimately, CLARITY is essential to ensuring sound, responsible regulation of crypto and giving investors and innovators the confidence to bet on America for the long term.

The famously leftist, radical WSJ Editorial Board said the CLARITY Act: - is "riddled with policy land mines" - "needs changes to reduce risks to the financial system" - has loopholes "criminals could exploit... to route illicit payments." But the crypto industry wants the LARITY Act in the next 48 hours. This bill isn't ready for prime time.

Big Bank Beth @SenWarren hates President Trump so much that she’d rather have no rules of the road for the digital asset industry — leaving consumers vulnerable and law enforcement empty-handed — than take the win for consumers. Let’s get the facts straight on her “fact sheet”: 1. She claims the blind trust is a shell game. It’s not. By law (5 U.S.C. §13104(f)(3)(A) and 5 C.F.R. 2634.403), a trustee is barred from disclosing trust holdings back to the official. That’s not a loophole, it’s literally what makes a blind trust blind. Read the law for yourself below. 2. She claims $TRUMP proves the president would create new coins. But $TRUMP launched when President Trump was a private citizen. The ethics ban applies to conduct while serving. You can’t retroactively ban something that happened before the law — or the presidency — existed. That’s how the law in the Soviet Union worked, not America. 3. She acts like Trump’s adult children running WLF is some unprecedented dodge. It’s not. Federal ethics law has never imputed financial interests from adult, independent children — only spouses and minor children. That’s not new to this bill; it’s how conflict-of-interest law has worked for decades. The facts speak for themselves. Don’t fall for Liz’s lies. banking.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
