Over 200 cryptocurrency institutions, including Coinbase and Ripple, jointly urge the U.S. Senate to advance the vote on the CLARITY Act

According to The Block, a joint letter initiated by Stand With Crypto, the Blockchain Association, the Crypto Council for Innovation, and The Digital Chamber has been submitted to U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, urging a prompt full Senate vote on the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (referred to as the CLARITY Act). More than 200 crypto companies, industry associations, and community organizations, including Coinbase, Ripple, Kraken, a16z, Circle, and Binance.US, participated in signing.The joint letter points out that the CLARITY Act will establish a comprehensive federal regulatory framework for the digital asset market, clarify the division of responsibilities among regulatory agencies, provide feasible registration pathways, and protect software developers' innovation while encouraging more digital asset businesses to return to the U.S. market. The signatories stated that the act would help keep innovation, jobs, investment, and market activities in the U.S., further solidifying the country's leading position in global digital asset innovation.It is understood that the CLARITY Act received bipartisan support from the Senate Banking Committee last month and passed the committee's review. Senator Cynthia Lummis subsequently stated that the next step for the act will be to enter the full Senate review stage.Additionally, 160 former national security and law enforcement officials had previously signed in support of the act, and U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and White House crypto advisor Patrick Witt have also publicly called for advancing the legislative process. However, the issue of the Trump family's interests in relation to the crypto industry is still seen as one of the main obstacles facing the advancement of the act.

The U.S. House of Representatives plans to set a 20-year holding period for strategic Bitcoin reserves

According to the official website of the U.S. Congress, the full text of the U.S. House of Representatives' "American Reserve Modernization Act" (H.R.8957, ARMA) has been made public. This bill was introduced on May 21 by Alaska Congressman Nicholas Begich and has now been referred to the House Financial Services Committee for review.The main content of the bill includes: incorporating Bitcoin obtained by the government through criminal or civil forfeiture into a strategic Bitcoin reserve managed by the Treasury Department, establishing a minimum holding period of 20 years during which it cannot be sold or disposed of; establishing a quarterly reserve verification mechanism and introducing independent third-party audits; allowing states to voluntarily hold their Bitcoin in independent accounts at the Federal Reserve.In terms of forward-looking provisions, the bill requires the Treasury Department and the Department of Commerce to jointly study feasible paths for increasing Bitcoin holdings in a budget-neutral manner within 180 days, including converting non-Bitcoin digital assets, forfeiture proceeds, voluntary donations, tax or tariff revenues, and utilizing mechanisms related to the Federal Reserve or gold certificates.Analysts point out that compared to the previous "BITCOIN Act," which called for the purchase of 1 million Bitcoins, ARMA is more moderate and politically feasible, but still leaves room for future federal increases in Bitcoin holdings.
