US President Donald Trump said Wednesday he intends to codify a “future-proof digital asset market structure,” likely referencing the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY) under Senate consideration.
Trump posted on Truth Social that the law would prevent “crypto haters” in future administrations from rolling back digital asset regulations.
Since passing the House in July 2025, the CLARITY Act has stalled in the Senate over government shutdowns, industry pushback, and ethics concerns involving the Trump family. The president and his sons are tied to memecoin projects, World Liberty Financial, its USD1 stablecoin, and a Bitcoin mining company.
The bill, advanced by the Senate Agriculture and Banking Committees, requires bipartisan support to pass the full chamber, with some Democrats withholding support without ethics provisions.
Bitcoin fell to under $73,000 from more than $74,000 after Trump’s pledge, trading at $73,467 at publication.
Trump echoed SEC Chair Paul Atkins, who said in October the agency would work to future-proof crypto policies. DeFi Technologies President Andrew Forson noted that while a future SEC chair may not fully reverse policies, they could make them overly burdensome.
In a separate post, Trump supported CFTC Chair Michael Selig’s claim of exclusive jurisdiction over prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket, which face lawsuits from states over alleged illegal sports betting.
