U.S. lawmakers have released updated text for the long-awaited CLARITY Act, a major crypto market structure bill aimed at creating clear regulations for digital assets. Led by Senate Banking Chairman Tim Scott and Senator Cynthia Lummis, the proposal follows months of bipartisan negotiations with regulators, financial institutions, and industry leaders. The bill seeks to protect consumers, combat illicit finance, and provide regulatory certainty for crypto businesses. If passed, it could significantly boost U.S. crypto innovation and strengthen America’s position as a global digital asset leader.
