U.S. Senator Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio), a pro-crypto lawmaker, said he was confident the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025, also known as the CLARITY Act, could pass through Congress as early as April.
During an interview with CNBC on Wednesday at President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, as part of the World Liberty Financial crypto summit, Moreno answered a question about when the bill would pass. He said, “We are going to get this bill through to the end, hopefully by April.”
The goal of the CLARITY Act is to establish clear national rules for digital assets. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) oversees tokens that are considered securities, and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) oversees digital assets that are treated as commodities.
The bill addresses many questions about token classification, trading platforms, stablecoins, and the overall market structure. These are all things that have held down innovation in the U.S. for a long time and driven some activity to other countries.
