Overview

US officials are publicly tying crypto market stability—and potentially renewed institutional participation—to progress on the CLARITY Act. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent argues that clearer rules would “comfort” markets during Bitcoin volatility and says some industry opposition has contributed to “self-induced” turbulence. Separately, a White House digital-assets adviser says the administration is working through stakeholder concerns as Congress continues to negotiate the bill’s path through committees.
