The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, known as the CLARITY Act, is scheduled to enter the United States Senate markup stage in January, signalling a major advance towards becoming law.
David Sacks, the White House’s AI and crypto czar, confirmed the timeline, describing the move as a critical step in establishing a formal regulatory framework for digital assets.
“The CLARITY Act will move into Senate markup in January,” David Sacks said.
Sacks said the schedule had been confirmed by Senate Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott and Senate Agriculture Committee Chair John Boozman.
The development follows the House of Representatives advancing the legislation earlier in 2025, adding momentum to the long-debated bill.
Senate markup will involve detailed, line-by-line examination of the House-passed text by relevant committees.
Lawmakers are expected to propose amendments, debate policy trade-offs, and vote on revisions before the bill proceeds to the full Senate.
