Trump Optimistic on Clarity Act, Boosting Crypto Market Confidence
President Trump reportedly expressed optimism about the Clarity Act during a private Oval Office meeting. The meeting, which included crypto and finance executives, aimed to address remaining issues and identify key senators to engage as Congress prepares to reconvene.
The conversation also touched on Trump's strategic Bitcoin reserve, though no specific next steps were outlined. Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov noted that the discussion covered this topic.
Market participants appear to interpret these developments as supportive of the Clarity Act's eventual passage. The bill has already cleared the House and is currently under Senate consideration, with a cloture motion filed earlier this month.
The Clarity Act aims to assign oversight of digital commodities to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), while maintaining some authority for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over specific crypto transactions. This piece of legislation is part of a broader digital asset framework initiated by Trump's executive order in March 2025.
Following the report, market pricing for the Clarity Act being signed into law in 2026 saw an upward movement, with the probability of a YES outcome increasing to 25%. This suggests that market participants view Trump's reported optimism as a positive indicator for the Act's legislative journey.
