What the CLARITY Act Actually Does for Bitcoin

Bitcoin Magazine What the CLARITY Act Actually Does for Bitcoin 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.

The GENIUS Act was signed into law within 24 hours, creating a regulatory framework for dollar-backed stablecoins. However, the other two bills weren’t so lucky.

The Anti-CBDC Surveillance State passed the House by an extremely narrow margin, and got stuck in Senate purgatory without a floor vote in place for over a year.

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.
