The future of a digital asset market structure bill in Congress is still uncertain amid concerns over ethics provisions, with the president, whose crypto ties are under scrutiny, weighing in on social media.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

US President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he intended to codify a \u201cfuture-proof digital asset market structure,\u201d likely referring to the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY) under consideration in the US Senate.<\/p>\n

In a post<\/a> to his Truth Social platform for the second time this week on policy claims potentially affecting the cryptocurrency industry, Trump said the law would prevent \u201ccrypto haters\u201d in future administrations from rolling back regulations affecting digital assets.<\/p>\n

Since its passage by the US House of Representatives in July 2025, the CLARITY Act has faced months of delays in the Senate amid government shutdowns, pushback from crypto and banking industry representatives and concerns over conflicts of interest, including those involving the Trump family. The president or his sons are tied to memecoin projects, the platform World Liberty Financial, that platform’s USD1 stablecoin and a Bitcoin mining company.<\/p>\n

Although lawmakers on the Senate Agriculture Committee and Senate Banking Committee have already advanced the CLARITY Act<\/a> following respective markups in January and May, the bill faces other hurdles before a potential vote in the full chamber. Republicans hold a slim majority in the Senate and will need Democratic votes to pass the bill, but some lawmakers have signaled they will withhold support<\/a> without provisions on ethics.<\/p>\n

The price of Bitcoin dropped under $73,000<\/a> from more than $74,000 in the hours following Trump\u2019s pledge to \u201cnever let crypto down.\u201d At the time of publication, the price of the biggest cryptocurrency by market cap was $73,467.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s remarks echoed those of his hand-picked chair of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Paul Atkins, who in October said<\/a> the agency would work to future-proof \u201cfuture potential changes,\u201d including those affecting crypto. <\/p>\n

DeFi Technologies President Andrew Forson told Cointelegraph at the time that it would be difficult for a future SEC chair to \u201cfully reverse\u201d previously enacted policies, but they could be made overly burdensome for regulators.<\/p>\n

Trump weighs in on prediction market legal battle<\/h2>\n

Wednesday’s Truth Social post<\/a> followed Trump’s comments that reiterated claims made by Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chair Michael Selig \u2014 also the president\u2019s pick to head the agency \u2014 that the regulator had \u201cexclusive jurisdiction\u201d over prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket. Trump\u2019s son, Donald Trump Jr., is an adviser to Kalshi and Polymarket.<\/p>\n

Several state authorities have filed lawsuits against prediction markets, alleging that the companies offer illegal bets on sporting events without a license. The CFTC has responded with its own countersuits. <\/p>\n
