Esper says CLARITY Act is national security bill, urges swift Senate passage
Former U.S. Defence Secretary Mark Esper urged the U.S. Senate to quickly pass the CLARITY Act, calling it a national security bill rather than a financial regulation measure. He argued that regulatory gaps in digital assets could affect U.S. geopolitical influence and security, citing risks from China and North Korea using cryptocurrencies and payment infrastructure to weaken U.S. financial control. Senate action is taking shape ahead of a expected Sept. 15 vote.
