White House Stays Focused on CLARITY Act Despite Delayed Deadline

The White House remains committed to passing the CLARITY Act in September, despite its initial Summer window deadline missing.

According to Patrick Witt, a digital-asset policy figure, the administration is 'fully committed' to getting the market-structure bill across the finish line.

Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper has also weighed in, framing clearer crypto rules as a national-security issue rather than just another tech wish-list item.

Esper warns that without clear regulations, critical financial and tech infrastructure will be pushed into friendlier jurisdictions where oversight is thinner.
