Crypto CLARITY or Chaos? CLARITY Act Passes to US House Floor
Austin Hodge
June 11, 2025
The CLARITY Act—America’s most consequential crypto legislation to date—just cleared two major hurdles in Congress. With bipartisan support, both the House Financial Services Committee (32–19) and the House Agriculture Committee (47–6) advanced the bill, setting the stage for a full House vote. If enacted, the Act would shift key regulatory authority from the SEC to the more industry-friendly CFTC, offering long-awaited clarity for digital asset markets.
Proponents hail it as a historic opportunity to foster innovation, safeguard self-custody, and define agency roles—while critics warn of regulatory loopholes and weakened investor protections. The debate underscores growing urgency to modernize U.S. crypto policy amid rising global competition. Will this landmark bill make it across the finish line—or stall under partisan friction?
