NEW: A group of seven Senate Democrats, including @gillibrandny, @MarkWarner, @SenRubenGallego and @Sen_Alsobrooks, say they are “committed to working in a bipartisan fashion” to pass the Clarity Act. The statement comes amid early efforts to restart bipartisan talks and gauge the appetite on both sides for returning to the table and getting the Clarity Act passed before the end of the year, according to three sources familiar with the discussions.

Bill: 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.

Because of the way Senate rules work, CLARITY could not have gotten to a final vote without members voting in favor.

Took stances on a bill between and

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.

After concerning reports that Hamas and other terrorist groups may be raising money in cryptocurrency, I’m joining with my colleagues to push the Biden admin to take steps to limit crypto’s use in financing terrorism.

We need to give the government modern tools to crack down on financial crime that uses cryptocurrencies. I’m proud to have introduced bipartisan legislation to enforce sanctions and protect our national security. warner.senate.gov/public/index.c…

@MarkWarner

We need to make sure Russia isn’t using crypto to evade sanctions – that’s why I’ve introduced a law to close loopholes and make sure our sanctions keep working. We’re making a real impact on the Russian economy, but we have to keep pushing.

This is an important EO from the Biden admin at a critical time – I look forward to working alongside the administration further as they continue to develop a clear federal strategy for crypto that prioritizes competition and economic security. cnbc.com/2022/03/09/her…

Continued my advocacy on this issue this morning by directly asking Fed Chair Powell about it – we must make sure that Russians are not using crypto to evade the sanctions the U.S. and our global allies have imposed. buzzfeednews.com/article/sarahe…

We can’t let Putin & his cronies use crypto to evade sanctions. Joined @SenWarren @MarkWarner @SenSherrodBrown in urging U.S. Treasury to monitor & enforce sanctions compliance by the cryptocurrency industry. nytimes.com/2022/03/02/bus…

Some have misinterpreted previous language I had offered to favor proof of work cryptocurrencies – the intent was anything but: to reiterate, all the drafters have repeatedly emphasized they do *not* see validators under any consensus mechanism as subject to compliance.

Mark Warner has generally been tech-savvy on regulation. He didn't expect the backlash he witnessed.

@MarkWarner

As @FACTcoalition has emphasized, that clarification from my colleagues was not necessary – and would have hastily and over-broadly carved out DeFi exchanges and custodians, even when they *are* in a position to collect this compliance information. thefactcoalition.org/congress-shoul…

@MarkWarner

To be fair, obscure provisions of tax law aren’t something most Americans have a passing familiarity with. And in an area as complex and fast-moving as digital assets – it benefits all of us to be clear and get things right.

Somewhat Pro-CryptoAdd commentary

Mark Warner

@MarkWarner

They’ve made clear the scope of these provisions is limited – and said repeatedly to Senators that it would not capture miners in proof of work contexts, nor validators in proof of stake contexts. Nor would it capture devs simply contributing code to cryptocurrency projects.

Somewhat Pro-CryptoAdd commentary

@MarkWarner

For over a week, the Administration has reiterated to all Senators involved that the scope of these rules would not extend to parts of the crypto ecosystem where entities wouldn’t in their normal course of business be able to collect the relevant information for tax reporting.

@MarkWarner

Second, it’s well-understood that if you pay for something in more than $10,000 cash, there’s a reporting requirement. The bill made clear that this applies to crypto, too, as Treasury had proposed. Even @BlockchainAssn claimed this was common sense bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

As we saw on a different front last week, these decentralized exchanges seek to openly flout the established governance regime the US has sought to maintain. sec.gov/news/press-rel…

@MarkWarner

First, we’re seeing decentralized exchanges openly advertise their non-compliance w/ regulatory and tax rules – that’s something that we seek to address in this legislation by making clear that, notwithstanding their claims, they’re still subject to compliance.

Very Anti-CryptoAdd commentary

Mark Warner

@MarkWarner

The tax gap is especially pronounced in two areas: 1) Cryptocurrency exchanges (some of which openly advertise non-compliance) and custodial wallets, and 2) Businesses that receive cryptocurrency as payment but don’t report it.
