Trump Urges Congress to Pass CLARITY Act to Advance U.S. Crypto Rules at White House Event
U.S. President Donald Trump urged Congress to pass the “CLARITY Act” to regulate digital assets, arguing it would advance the next step in U.S. crypto policy [1] [2].
Trump made the call during a White House crypto event, where he pushed lawmakers to act on the bill alongside commentary about regulators including the SEC and CFTC, and described efforts to bring companies into the U.S. under a compliant framework [3] [4].
Reporting also indicated Trump referred to a “fair version” of the CLARITY Act while emphasizing U.S. competitiveness and saying his administration had ended a prior “war on crypto,” according to accounts of his remarks at the meeting [4] [5].
Trump’s remarks renewed legislative momentum around the CLARITY Act as he pressed Congress to move it forward amid reported resistance in the Senate [2] [6].
