Behind the 256-Page Overhaul: Why the CLARITY Act is More Protection Than Price Catalyst for Bitcoin.
Key facts
- US commercial banks alone hold $25.7 trillion in total assets, nearly 20 times Bitcoin’s entire $1.3 trillion market cap — It would have required exchanges to collect names and home addresses for anyone moving more than $3,000/day into their private wallet, and file reports to FinCEN for anything over $10,000/day
- Samourai’s founders pleaded guilty in April 2026, and Tornado Cash’s Roman Storm was convicted on the same charge in August 2025
- In July 2025, House Republicans staged a coordinated three-bill blitz they called ‘Crypto Week;, advancing the GENIUS, CLARITY, and the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act in the same five day stretch
Summary
In July 2025, House Republicans staged a coordinated three-bill blitz they called ‘Crypto Week;, advancing the GENIUS, CLARITY, and the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act in the same five day stretch. Following the House’s bipartisan passage of the CLARITY Act, the bill landed in the Senate Banking Committee where it sat for nearly a year. If you pull up the bill on Congress’ website today, you can see that the first 256 pages (the entire House-passed bill) are struck through, line by line, top to bottom. Given how much the bill has changed shape, it’s worth taking a step back and assessing how the CLARITY Act, in its post-June 1st form, affects Bitcoin, and if it can truly “act as the catalyst for the next bull run” as the reporter see so often on X today.
