The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act cleared a critical Senate Banking Committee markup with a 15-9 vote, advancing to the Senate floor with rare bipartisan backing. Senators from both parties — including Tim Scott, Cynthia Lummis, Angela Alsobrooks, and Ruben Gallego — signaled that the debate over whether digital assets belong in U.S. financial law is effectively over.

Nearly 68 million Americans — roughly one in five — already own digital assets, a figure that grew by 12 million in the past year alone. Yet 88% of global crypto exchange activity still flows through foreign platforms beyond U.S. oversight.
