The story so far

President Trump has called on the Senate to pass the CLARITY Act, a sweeping piece of crypto legislation. The push includes framing the bill's passage as a tribute to Lindsey Graham. Trump has additionally linked legislative inaction to potential geopolitical disadvantages, specifically mentioning China.

Coverage from outlets including Barron's, Forbes, Fortune, and The Block emphasizes the bill's impact on compliance, industry ethics, and its comparison to the Telecoms Act. Yahoo Finance notes that Elizabeth Warren has raised concerns regarding potential presidential profit. Meanwhile, Politico reports on internal Republican divisions regarding how to best honor Graham’s legacy, and OpenSecrets highlights the influx of crypto funding across both major political parties.

Future developments hinge on whether the Senate will move to adopt the legislation following the recent meetings between Trump and various senators.
