The @WVBlockchain Foundation joined 200+ companies urging the Senate to bring the CLARITY Act to the floor. This bill passed the Banking Committee with bipartisan support and would protect consumers and keep digital asset innovation in America. Now the full Senate must act.

[Stand With Crypto🛡️ @standwithcrypto]

Stand With Crypto and over 200 organizations sent a simple message to Senate leadership: it's time for the Clarity Act.

The community is unified — large companies, startups, associations, and grassroots groups across the country are counting on their lawmakers to deliver rules of the road for crypto in America.

The Clarity Act passed the Senate Banking Committee with bipartisan support.

Now it needs to cross the finish line. Tell your Senators you want Clarity 👇
