America built the dollar-dominated financial system that has anchored global stability for a century. The Clarity Act ensures we build the next one. The time to act is now — before Beijing decides it will.
If the United States doesn't establish the global standard for digital asset regulation, someone else will.
China is not waiting.
The Clarity Act is how America leads — and how we ensure our adversaries don't write the rules of the next financial era.
The next window for digital asset legislation after this Congress is likely 2030. Until then, developers remain exposed with no legal protections, and law enforcement remains without the tools to hold bad actors accountable. The Clarity Act solves both.
The House passed the CLARITY Act because America cannot afford to lead the world in innovation while lagging behind in rules. It delivers clear market structure, stronger consumer protections, and certainty for innovators — all while keeping jobs and investment here at home. Now it’s time to finish the job.
Without the Clarity Act, if a digital asset exchange goes bankrupt, customers have no guaranteed right to their own assets. They join a creditor line w/ other Wall Street firms and expensive lawyers and hope for the best. This is a consumer protection failure Congress must fix.
These DTCC assets are going to settle across many, many chains and as they sit there and collect dust, @chainlink calls are still being made for daily end of day NAV pricing and proof of reserve validations. When they finally do move to another chain for use in applications, Chainlink CCIP, POR and ACE calls will be made.
So all of these chains are claiming victory for getting a small sliver of the settlement pie (least valuable, most commoditizable portion of the stack), while Chainlink gets the entire orchestration, security and data pie (the most valuable, least commoditizable portion of the stack).
If the Clarity Act doesn't pass this Congress, American software developers will be targeted again for prosecution in the near future just for publishing code. These are the stakes.
Fragmented infra is holding back global finance from capitalizing on the $867 trillion tokenization opportunity.
That's why Swift, J.P. Morgan, UBS, & many more institutions adopt Chainlink to connect to the onchain economy.
The world is moving onchain through Chainlink.
Requirements for the mainstream adoption of stablecoins:
• Accurate pricing
• Reliable proof of reserves
• Secure cross-chain infra
That's why leading issuers & DeFi protocols like Circle, Aave, & Maple use Chainlink to eliminate data & cross-chain risk.
LINK everything.
The digital asset industry operating in America without a real rulebook isn’t a free market, it’s a liability. America needs the Clarity Act now to ensure America writes the rules
Every month without a clear framework is another month where American investors are exposed and American innovators are left guessing. I didn’t spend years writing the Clarity Act to watch us keep kicking the can down the road.
Wyoming didn’t wait for Washington to figure out digital assets. We built the framework ourselves. I didn’t come to the U.S. Senate to slow that down, I came here to scale it—and that’s exactly what my bill, the Clarity Act, does.
