Trump Backs Stronger Rules in Clarity Act Boosting Passage Prospects
Former President Donald Trump has thrown his weight behind stronger rules and transparency measures in relation to the Clarity Act, significantly boosting its passage prospects. The bill, which aims to establish a comprehensive regulatory framework for digital assets in the United States, is now one clause away from passing into law.
Senator Cynthia Lummis, who has been urging the prompt passage of this legislation, announced Trump's support for stronger rules. This move comes as the Clarity Act, formally known as the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, has already passed the House in July 2025 and cleared the Senate Banking Committee in May 2026.
The bill divides oversight between the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), aiming to provide a clear regulatory framework for digital assets. Market pricing suggests that the latest developments are consistent with increased chances of the bill becoming law in 2026.
