Donald Trump: Urges Congress to Pass a "Fair Version" of the Clarity Act

Odaily News: During a meeting at the White House with executives from crypto and financial firms, U.S. President Donald Trump urged Congress to pass a "fair version" of the Clarity Act, stating that market structure legislation is the next step in his digital assets policy.

The meeting was attended by Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chairman Michael Selig, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul Atkins, White House crypto advisor Patrick Witt, as well as executives from Coinbase, Ripple, Robinhood, and Kraken.

The Clarity Act would establish federal rules for digital assets and clarify the regulatory jurisdictions of the SEC and CFTC. The bill is expected to return to the Senate in September, where Republicans will still need support from about six Democratic senators to reach the 60-vote threshold. (Decrypt)
