Washington: The Republican-led Senate Banking Committee on Thursday approved the Clarity Act demonstrating a sharp rise global crypto market. The bill aimed at creating a formal regulatory framework for digital assets in the United States, boosting investor confidence across major tokens. It provides ground norms addressing long standing uncertainty over jurisdiction between US Financial Regulators.
The bill garnered 15-9 support from all republicans on the committee besides Democrats like Arizona Sen. Ruben Gallego and Maryland Sen. Angela Alsobrooks. “This legislation does not take sides between traditional finance and new technology,” said Senate Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott. “It brings digital assets out of the shadows and into a system that is safer, fairer and more transparent.”
Bitcoin, world’s largest cryptocurrency traded at $81,055 in Asian hours, up 2.3% over 24 hours and 1.9% over the past seven days. Ethereum, the second most valued crypto asset, also gained over 1% to around $2,268, while XRP surged more than 4% in the past day. XRP (XRP) led the major altcoins with a 4.5% gain to $1.49, extending its weekly run to 7.6% and making it the standout performer on the seven-day tape. While Dogcoin added 8.9% over the past 7 days.
Market experts view the development as a positive signal for long term growth of the digital asset ecosystem and institutional leverage.
What is Clarity Act and How would Crypto function under it?
The first major bipartisan move aims to establish a clear regulatory guideline for digital assets. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) would be the main regulator for much of the crypto industry, while the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) would continue overseeing digital assets that qualify as securities.
