Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong urged senators to pass the CLARITY Act this week, citing one in four Americans who own crypto and stronger voter support for lawmakers backing the bill.
The Coinbase executive described the legislation as the result of years of bipartisan negotiations. He argued it would support American jobs, tax revenue, and innovation. “The CLARITY act represents a ton of bi-partisan work to finally establish clear rules for crypto in America, which 70% of Americans say we should already have,” Armstrong said in a statement.
He framed the vote as a choice between bringing digital assets under U.S. supervision or allowing more activity to move offshore. The proposal would bring more crypto businesses under federal oversight while expanding consumer protections, law enforcement authority, and banking opportunities.
Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) released updated text of the CLARITY Act on July 22, combining work from the Senate Banking and Agriculture committees. She called the bill a chance to establish a lasting federal framework for digital assets.
The 616-page proposal assigns regulatory responsibilities to the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. It creates registration standards for exchanges, brokers, dealers, custodians, and other intermediaries. The bill also requires customer protection, disclosure, anti-fraud, and market oversight measures.
Banking provisions would let regulated institutions conduct specified digital asset activities. The bill addresses portfolio margining and capital treatment, with separate sections for payment stablecoin balances. Additional sections cover cybersecurity, illicit finance, bankruptcy protections, developer protections, digital asset kiosks, enforcement training, and international coordination.
“The bill even contains many pages of new authorities for banks to integrate stablecoins and crypto and grow their business, which we strongly support,” Armstrong said. “This is about America getting back to winning, and remaining strong as a financial and technology hub, to create economic growth, jobs, and tax revenue.”
SEC Chair Paul Atkins endorsed congressional action and offered the agency’s technical assistance during the legislative process. He described legislation as the most durable approach for regulating evolving digital asset markets.
Stand With Crypto has turned the Senate debate into a measurable political campaign. The group reported 950,000 constituent contacts with lawmakers and pledged to score every CLARITY vote for more than 3 million advocates. The scorecard will create a public record of each senator’s position.
“1 in 4 Americans hold crypto. Passing CLARITY is a priority for them. American voters are twice as likely to support a candidate that backs CLARITY, regardless of party preference,” Armstrong said. “CLARITY isn’t only a win for crypto users. It’s a win for the future of America as a global leader for finance, innovation, and national security.”
