Y Combinator urges swift Senate passage of CLARITY bill

The company described blockchain as an “Internet of Assets” and cited use cases such as cross-border payroll and faster marketplace payouts. The bill would clarify oversight by asset type and includes customer protections.

Separately, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon opposed the latest Clarity Act revision, and France’s Capital B sought approval for large fundraising plans for future bitcoin purchases.
