Digital Chamber pushes Senate on CLARITY Act

The Digital Chamber is leading a major push in Washington to get the U.S. Senate to pass the CLARITY Act, with support from more than 100 crypto companies and industry groups.

The coalition says the bill is critical for creating clear federal rules for the crypto industry and wants lawmakers to act before the Senate begins its summer recess.

The effort gained momentum after the Senate Banking Committee approved the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, also known as H.R. 3633, in a bipartisan 15-9 vote on May 14. The bill will now move toward a full Senate vote.

The Digital Chamber, the Crypto Council for Innovation, and the Blockchain Association are all lobbying senators, especially undecided Democrats and members of the Banking Committee, because the bill will likely need at least 60 votes to pass in the Senate.

Industry groups say the legislation would finally create clearer rules for digital assets and reduce uncertainty around regulation in the United States.

In an earlier letter sent to lawmakers, the coalition also criticized what the crypto industry calls “Operation Choke Point 2.0,” which refers to claims that regulators pressured banks to limit services to crypto companies. Supporters of the bill argue the CLARITY Act would force regulators to follow formal rulemaking processes instead.

The bill already passed the House in July 2025 with strong bipartisan support in a 294-134 vote.

However, several issues still remain unresolved before the legislation can become law.

Senator Elizabeth Warren has strongly opposed the bill, arguing that it does not go far enough on anti-money laundering protections and ethics rules tied to government officials benefiting from crypto investments.

Questions surrounding the Trump family’s crypto involvement have also become a political sticking point during negotiations.

Digital Chamber CEO Cody Carbone previously said lawmakers are expected to finalize the ethics language before the bill reaches the Senate floor because leaders want to make sure they have enough support to secure 60 votes.

Senator Cynthia Lummis has suggested a Senate floor vote could happen before August.

Even if the Senate passes the bill, lawmakers would still need to merge it with a separate version from the Senate Agriculture Committee and later reconcile differences with the House version before it can reach the president’s desk.

With Congress approaching its summer break, the crypto industry sees the coming weeks as one of its best chances this year to secure major federal crypto legislation.
