The U.S. House Financial Services Committee published a compilation of stakeholder endorsements for the Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act of 2025, following the bill’s approval by the committee in a 32–19 vote and its parallel approval by the House Agriculture Committee in a 47–6 vote. Supporters characterised the legislation as a step toward a comprehensive federal market structure framework for digital assets, intended to reduce uncertainty around the classification and treatment of digital assets. Several statements pointed to consumer protection and market integrity features they said are included in the bill, including segregation of customer funds, bankruptcy procedures, conflict-of-interest controls, and operational and ownership risk disclosures, as well as governance and risk management expectations for digital commodity exchanges (including Sections 404 and 406). Other endorsements highlighted the bill’s approach to decentralised systems, citing objective disclosures, functional milestones, and limits on insider control, and noted potential relevance for listed and cleared derivatives markets. Backers urged the bill to move to a House floor vote and then advance to the Senate, with one industry participant calling for a market structure bill to reach the President for signature by August.
