Digital Chamber Ramps Up Congress Push to Pass CLARITY Act

TLDR

• The Digital Chamber launched a website for voters to contact lawmakers on the CLARITY Act.
• The CLARITY Act aims to create federal market rules for digital assets.
• The Senate Banking Committee advanced the bill in a 15-9 vote on May 14.
• The House passed an earlier version of the bill by 294-134 in July 2025.
• AML, DeFi and ethics language remain key issues before a full Senate vote.

The Digital Chamber has launched a new public campaign urging Congress to pass the CLARITY Act, as crypto advocacy groups increase pressure for federal digital asset market structure rules before the 2026 midterm cycle gathers pace.

The organization published a website that allows users to contact lawmakers and ask them to support the bill. The platform includes a form for constituents, policy resources, and a one-page overview explaining the legislation’s proposed framework for digital asset oversight.

Digital Chamber CEO Cody Carbone said lawmakers need to hear directly from voters, builders, and consumers seeking clear rules for crypto markets. The group said the effort is part of a wider campaign to move the bill through Congress this year.

Digital Chamber Launches Public Call to Action

The CLARITY Act, formally known as the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, is designed to create federal rules for crypto exchanges, token issuers, brokers, and other market participants. Supporters say the bill would define the roles of U.S. regulators and reduce uncertainty over whether certain digital assets fall under securities or commodities rules.

The Digital Chamber said more than 70 million Americans own crypto, citing a May Security.Org survey of 992 U.S. adults. The group argues that users need consumer protections and clear operating standards under federal law.

The campaign also comes as other crypto advocacy groups, including the Crypto Council for Innovation, the Blockchain Association, and Stand With Crypto, work to reach lawmakers. Their lobbying efforts are focused on senators who may influence whether the bill can receive enough votes to pass.

Senate Vote Remains Central to Crypto Bill

The Senate Banking Committee advanced H.R. 3633 in a bipartisan 15-9 vote on May 14. Democrat Ruben Gallego joined all 13 Republicans on the committee in support of the measure, moving the bill closer to a potential full Senate vote.

The House passed an earlier version of the legislation by a 294-134 vote in July 2025. The Senate version has faced delays as lawmakers debated issues involving stablecoin rewards, decentralized finance, anti-money laundering rules, and ethics language related to public officials with crypto interests.

A full Senate vote would require 60 votes to clear the chamber. Carbone has said ethics-related language would likely need to be settled before the measure reaches the floor, as Senate leaders would want confidence that the bill could pass.

Senator Cynthia Lummis has said a floor vote could come by August. The timing is closely watched because Congress faces a crowded calendar before summer recess and an election season that may narrow the window for legislative action.

Crypto Policy Debate Moves Into Election Season

The push for the CLARITY Act is taking place as crypto policy becomes a more visible issue in federal campaigns. Political action committees connected to the digital asset sector have backed candidates viewed as supportive of crypto legislation.

This week, Rep. Christian Menefee, a candidate supported by crypto super PACs, defeated longtime Congressman Al Green in a Democratic primary runoff. The result added attention to the political role of digital asset groups during the midterm cycle.

Opposition remains active in the Senate. Senator Elizabeth Warren has criticized the bill, saying it does not go far enough on anti-money laundering safeguards and ethics rules. She has also raised concerns about officials and their families benefiting from crypto ventures while shaping related policy.

Industry groups have framed the bill as a response to what they call Operation Choke Point 2.0, referring to alleged informal pressure by regulators on banks and crypto firms. Supporters say market structure legislation would move oversight into a formal rulemaking process.

The Digital Chamber’s latest website is intended to turn industry support into direct constituent messages to Congress. Its campaign reflects a broader effort to secure a national crypto framework before the end of the year.

For crypto companies, the CLARITY Act remains one of the main legislative routes for federal market rules. For lawmakers, the debate centers on consumer protection, financial crime controls, agency authority, and how digital assets should fit into U.S. financial law.
