Patrick is one of the sharpest people I’ve worked with in government. No one knows crypto policy better or worked harder to get market structure done. He negotiated the compromises needed to get Clarity out of committee and onto the Senate floor — without him it wouldn’t have https://twitter.com/patrickjwitt/status/2110579591073104355

No American should lose access to a bank account because of their politics or their industry, and that includes the digital asset businesses wrongfully targeted under Operation Chokepoint 2.0. Thank you @SecScottBessent and @USComptroller for working to ensure Americans have fair https://twitter.com/usocc/status/2110332560765042793

Wyoming chartered the nation’s first digital asset banks and built a legal framework that has set the standard for digital asset regulation in the United States. I’m very pleased the Wyoming Division of Banking has partnered with the New York Department of Financial Services for

Hester Peirce stood up for American innovators long before it was popular, and the digital asset industry owes her a debt it can never fully repay. Thank you, Hester, for years of dissenting against regulation by enforcement and leading the SEC’s Crypto Task Force to bring clear https://twitter.com/hesterpeirce/status/2103532228667965651

Democrats wanted digital asset platforms to be formally classified as financial institutions under the Bank Secrecy Act. The Clarity Act does it.

Democrats still voted no.

.@larry_kudlow in @NewYorkSun gets it right. Here are the facts:

The dollar was on one side of 89.2% of global FX trades.

Foreign investors still hold enormous amounts of U.S. assets. The principal stablecoins are dollar-denominated. Treasury buybacks are about adding

Today’s designations of Iranian digital asset infrastructure make perfectly clear that efforts to finance the Iranian regime using cryptocurrencies are not beyond OFAC’s reach. If you support the Iranian regime, the Department of the Treasury will sanction you. https://twitter.com/USTreasury/status/2100647695291469979

Today’s proposed rule by @fdicgov will breathe new life into the dual banking system. Thank you Chairman Hill for your commitment to state banking, including digital assets and responsible innovation. https://twitter.com/fdicgov/status/2100598519488799217

Proud of my longtime staffer, Chris Land, for being named one of The Hill's 25 Most Notable Hill Staffers of 2026.

He has led our digital assets efforts and served as the lead policy staffer on the GENIUS Act and Clarity Act negotiations. Congrats, Chris!

Glad crypto policy is moving forward in the House this week. @WaysandMeansGOP is marking up its crypto tax bill for clearer, more certain tax rules, and @FinancialCmte is marking up my Strategic Bitcoin Reserve bill.

It's now or never for the Clarity Act.

Dems can lock in 120+ negotiated wins: a historic ethics agreement covering the President, VP, Congress & federal judges, plus the certainty consumers and this industry need.

To get there, Democrats need to join us in voting yes at 2:15. https://twitter.com/BrendanPedersen/status/2099885186947101111

Today, the Senate will vote on the Clarity Act. It must pass.

Clarity helps put America in the drivers seat when it comes to digital assets and blockchain technology. We need clear rules of the road for customers and our financial system.

Let’s get it done.

Senate Democrats trying to figure out how to vote NO on the Clarity Act after receiving over 120+ wins and a majority of their ethics requests.

The time for negotiating is over. Let's vote. Let's pass this strong, bipartisan bill. https://x.com/SenLummis/status/2099657751286718703/photo/1

Democrats secured more than 100 changes to the Clarity Act, including amendments to self-custody rights, a best execution requirement, and a new Office of the Retail Commodity Advocate written into the Clarity Act. If this bill fails, those protections vanish with it, and

I’ve said many times that the CLARITY Act is essential to ensuring America wins the global race for new technology. That’s the reason Congress passed the GENIUS Act: to ensure that stablecoin infrastructure, a revolutionary financial technology, will be built in America.

The final text reflects substantially all of the Tillis-Gallego framework, added on top of what was already historic. State AGs now have direct authority to enforce these ethics rules on federal officials. They can also go after exchanges and issuers under consumer protection

Tomorrow, my colleagues have a choice to make: American leadership, real consumer protections, and giving law enforcement the tools they need to address illicit finance, or drive the digital asset industry overseas, leaving consumers vulnerable, and sidelining American leadership

"After 12 months of negotiations, it’s now or never for this strong, bipartisan compromise."

If the Clarity Act fails, Democrats own what comes next: more 100 Democratic-directed changes wasted, consumers with zero federal protection, no disclosure rules, no delisting requirements for bad actors, stuck in the same unregulated system that has already cost Americans

This updated Clarity Act text reflects bipartisan hard work over August—specifying when decentralized-in-name-only DeFi protocols must register with the CFTC and limiting the DeFi provisions to spot and cash transactions, in response to Native American concerns about prediction

Democrats helped write the Clarity Act, securing more than 115 wins in the text. They demanded the felony bar on fraudsters, $150M for the CFTC, the crackdown on platforms like Binance, and they got almost everything they asked for. Now they need to vote for the bill they built.

This lawsuit highlights a dangerous gap in the fight against illicit finance in crypto. Right now, exchanges and issuers can’t freeze stablecoins if they suspect illicit activity without fear of a lawsuit. Section 305 of the Clarity Act gives issuers and exchanges the power they
