[U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent Urges Senate to Advance the 'CLARITY Act'] U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent issued a statement urging the Senate to advance the 'CLARITY Act.' He stated that the bill aims to establish a comprehensive regulatory framework for digital assets and enhance the United States' ability to prevent misuse of related technologies by bad actors. Bessent emphasized that after the Senate concludes its August recess, all parties should remain at the negotiating table, agree to enter the review process, and push forward the legislative agenda. He warned that failure to advance the bill would send a concerning signal to both U.S. allies and adversaries—that the United States is unwilling to lead the future of digital assets and is forfeiting enhanced national security tools that could be used to combat the misuse of these technologies.
