Y Combinator urges swift Senate passage of CLARITY bill

U.S. startup accelerator Y Combinator has publicly urged the Senate to pass the CLARITY bill, a digital asset market structure proposal. It said all YC companies would eventually use cryptocurrency technology, including stablecoins, and stressed the need for a regulatory framework. 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.
