The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025, better known as the CLARITY Act, has a July 4 deadline for final passage. It also has a long list of unresolved issues standing between it and the president’s desk.
White House digital assets executive director Patrick Witt has struck an optimistic tone about the bill’s progress, pointing to continued discussions among lawmakers and stakeholders.
Where things actually stand
The House passed H.R. 3633 on July 17, 2025, with a 294-134 vote. The bill then moved to the Senate Banking Committee, which advanced it on May 14, 2026, by a 15-9 vote. It landed on the full Senate calendar on June 1, 2026.
The House and Senate versions of the bill aren’t identical. Lawmakers still need to reconcile competing texts, resolve outstanding questions around agricultural provisions, hash out developer protections, and address ethics-related concerns. The Senate’s remaining session days before July 4 make the math nearly impossible.
