CLARITY Act
Details
The "Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025," or "CLARITY Act of 2025," establishes a regulatory framework for digital commodities, granting the CFTC exclusive jurisdiction over spot market transactions and related entities like exchanges, brokers, and dealers. It aims to differentiate digital commodities from securities, introduce a "mature blockchain system" concept for regulatory exemptions, and protect individual self-custody rights.

Quoted from standwithcrypto.org · 2026-04-02

Dan Sullivan completed the Stand With Crypto Questionnaire and expressed strong support for creating clear legislative pathways for digital asset businesses, allowing Americans to self-custody their assets, and defining when a digital asset is a security or a commodity. He has cosponsored the GENIUS Act and the Digital Commodity Intermediaries Act, advocating for regulatory clarity, pro-growth tax policies, and updated market structure laws to ensure the U.S. leads in digital currency innovation.

Last week I gave a speech on the Senate floor on the importance of competing against China and winning the race against China on key emerging technologies: crypto, biotech, and AI. Today, the Trump administration took a critical and commonsense step forward by releasing a ngress a clear roadmap to capitalize on AI’s potential. AI has enormous positive potential to transform health care, grow our economy, and improve the lives of everyday Americans. This framework gets the big things right: protecting our kids online, protecting our First Amendment rights, establishing a uniform national policy that gives innovators certainty, and recognizing that, to win the AI race with China, we need to continue unleashing American energy dominance. While we are currently ahead in the AI race, we can’t be complacent. I look forward to working with my Senate colleagues on both sides of the aisle to turn this framework into law.

Today, the @WhiteHouse released a commonsense National AI Policy Framework that ensures every American benefits from AI. As @POTUS has said — we need one federal AI policy, not a 50 state patchwork. This gets us there. Eager to work with Congress on this important legislation.

Bill
Digital Commodity Intermediaries Act
Details
This bill establishes a comprehensive federal regulatory framework for spot digital commodity markets under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). It defines digital commodities, sets up registration processes for exchanges, brokers, and dealers, and mandates customer asset segregation. Crucially, the legislation creates explicit statutory exemptions protecting software developers, node operators, validators, and self-custody wallet providers from being classified as financial intermediaries, providing legal clarity for the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.

Bill
GENIUS Act
Details
The GENIUS Act of 2025 proposes a regulatory framework for payment stablecoins. It defines permitted issuers (insured depository institutions, their subsidiaries, and approved nonbank entities) and mandates 1:1 reserve backing with specific high-quality assets. The bill outlines federal and state regulatory oversight options, sets requirements for customer asset segregation, and grants stablecoin holders priority in insolvency proceedings. It also clarifies that regulated payment stablecoins are not considered securities or commodities under various acts. The bill designates issuers as financial institutions under the Bank Secrecy Act, requiring compliance with AML, KYC, and sanctions regulations to prevent illicit finance and safeguard national security. It also reinforces U.S. leadership in digital finance by supporting innovation and ensuring the dollar remains competitive in a rapidly evolving global financial landscape.
