Bessent says Clarity Act cannot be delayed, urges immediate Senate vote

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent urged the Senate to hold an immediate vote on the Clarity Act, a digital asset market structure bill. He said Democrats are delaying for political reasons and warned the United States could lose leadership without clear rules. Bessent defended the bill’s consumer protection and anti-illicit finance provisions and backed a clause codifying Treasury policy on decentralized developers. Negotiations remain stalled over ethics provisions.
