Fidelity added its name to a coalition of crypto firms and industry groups urging the Senate to pass the CLARITY Act, a bill that would set market structure rules for digital assets. The coalition made the announcement Wednesday, laying out a coordinated push for legislation that backers say would reduce regulatory uncertainty for firms operating in the space.
The CLARITY Act aims to define how crypto firms register, what compliance looks like, and which agency oversees the market. Supporters argue the current patchwork of guidance leaves companies exposed to legal risk and slows product development. “We need a framework that accommodates how digital assets work, not force them into boxes built for older markets,” a Fidelity representative said in a statement.
Fidelity joins a group that includes major crypto exchanges and blockchain advocacy organizations. The firm’s involvement carries weight given its institutional client base and brokerage operations. When a company of that size calls for reform, lawmakers have a harder time dismissing the request as fringe, several coalition members said.
The push comes as Congress has moved slowly on crypto legislation. No hearing date or vote schedule has been set for the CLARITY Act. The coalition said it will continue lobbying ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, hoping to build enough momentum for a floor vote.
