Why Is the White House Silent on the CLARITY Act?

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 10:44:35 +0000

The White House is silent on the CLARITY Act because it has not responded to a one-page ethics compromise that Senators Thom Tillis and Ruben Gallego sent it on July 30, 2026 — the single clause in the bill that restricts officials, including President Donald Trump, from profiting off digital assets while in office. That silence let the Senate’s procedural window for an August floor vote close on August 5, 2026, without a motion filed, even as Wall Street’s biggest asset managers had already endorsed the bill.
