Key Takeaways
The House Financial Services Subcommittee on Digital Assets set a July 17 field hearing in New York titled Building the Future of Finance: How the CLARITY Act Unlocks Innovation.
The CLARITY Act passed the House in 2025, so the field hearing is a public-pressure move, not a vote, as the bill's Senate path stays uncertain.
Holding it in New York signals lawmakers are courting Wall Street and crypto firms on home turf to cement U.S. digital-asset market structure.
The House Financial Services Committee is taking its crypto market-structure push to Wall Street's backyard. The Subcommittee on Digital Assets, Financial Technology, and Artificial Intelligence scheduled a July 17 field hearing in New York titled Building the Future of Finance: How the CLARITY Act Unlocks Innovation.
The CLARITY Act, the House's digital asset market structure bill, already passed the chamber in 2025. A field hearing is not a vote. It is a public-pressure move, staged in the financial capital to court industry and build momentum while the bill's path through the Senate stays unsettled.
"The golden age of digital assets is here."
Bryan Steil, Subcommittee Chairman, House Financial Services Committee
The hearing extends a months-long campaign WYDE has followed, from the CLARITY Act's slipping July 4 deadline to the Treasury Secretary and SEC Chair publicly pushing the bill toward the President's desk. Whether the New York stage moves Senate math is the open question.
