• The Digital Chamber increased pressure on Senate leaders to move the bill to markup.
• Senate Banking faces mounting urgency as the CLARITY Act remains stalled after House approval.
• Industry groups expect the next phase to accelerate digital asset oversight efforts.

U.S. digital asset legislation faced renewed pressure on April 20 as blockchain trade association The Digital Chamber urged Senate leaders to move market structure talks into a formal markup stage. The group sent a letter to Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott and Ranking Member Elizabeth Warren, arguing that the committee should advance the bill while continuing work in a transparent, deliberative, and bipartisan manner. The association announced on social media platform X:

“Today, we sent a letter to Banking GOP leadership urging the Committee to move digital asset market structure legislation to markup and continue improving the bill in a transparent, deliberative, and bipartisan manner.”

That post aligned with the message outlined in the formal communication and indicated the organization’s preference for immediate procedural movement rather than prolonged private discussions. In addition to Scott and Warren, the letter was sent to Senate Banking Digital Assets Subcommittee Chairwoman Cynthia Lummis and Ranking Member Ruben Gallego, extending the appeal to other lawmakers directly involved in digital asset oversight.

The push comes as the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, often called the CLARITY Act, remains stalled in the Senate Banking Committee despite earlier momentum. The bill passed the U.S. House of Representatives on July 17, 2025, with a bipartisan 294 to 134 vote. Senate progress has since slowed amid disputes over key provisions, including stablecoin yield restrictions, regulatory authority, and potential liability for software developers. Supporters argue the measure would replace regulation by enforcement with clearer rules, while critics contend it could weaken investor protections.

The letter stressed that lawmakers and stakeholders have already spent significant time addressing complex issues within the framework. It noted that the 119th Congress is past its midpoint and more than 270 days have passed since the House approved the CLARITY Act with bipartisan support, increasing urgency for action. The group positioned markup as the next step and pointed to broad U.S. digital asset adoption to support the need for clearer regulation.

The Digital Chamber framed the request as both procedural and strategic. The letter concluded:

“Doing so is critical to delivering the clarity that the more than 70 million Americans who have embraced digital assets deserve, while reinforcing the United States’ leadership in responsible innovation and next-generation financial technology.”

The statement linked legislative progress to competitiveness, warning that delays could slow innovation as other jurisdictions advance.
