President Donald Trump hosted cryptocurrency executives at the White House on Wednesday and pressed Congress to pass the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, sending Bitcoin and related stocks higher.
"We need Congress to take the next step by passing the Clarity Act, a fair version of the Clarity Act," Trump said, according to Bloomberg. "It's a very, very powerful structured legislation which will keep us ahead of China, keep us ahead of everyone else." Trump also said the U.S. was at the "very beginning of a revolution" in finance.
