Americans have shown increasing attention to crypto regulation during the Trump era. But things don't happen by wave of a magic wand in this complex area. We must convince politicians, bankers and voters of the urgency. The paradox is striking: the more regulation is necessary, the more obstacles accumulate on the path.
In brief
- The CLARITY Act aims to clarify the regulation of digital assets in the United States.
- The Senate voting window is narrowing before the 2026 midterm elections.
- JPMorgan opposes the project, while the crypto industry strongly supports it.
- 52 million Americans own cryptos and are waiting for a clear legal framework.
Time is running out for the regulation of cryptoassets
The voting window for the CLARITY Act is narrowing dangerously as the midterm elections approach. The Senate has very few working days before the electoral campaign monopolizes the attention of parliamentarians.
Stand With Crypto, which represents more than 1 million members, calls on Senate leaders to schedule a vote in the coming weeks.
The window to complete this task is limited, with few days remaining in the current session of Congress before the midterm elections. If Senate leaders do not schedule a vote on the CLARITY Act in the coming weeks, enormous bipartisan work, compromise and progress could be lost.

If the bill doesn't pass in 2026, another chance might not come until 2030, according to Sen. Cynthia Lummis. Time is against the regulation of digital assets on American soil.
Banks against the crypto industry: a battle for influence
Regulation deeply divides American financial players around this crucial text. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon strongly opposes the CLARITY Act in its current form. Banks believe that this bill favors crypto companies without imposing the same constraints on them as traditional establishments.
The crypto industry sees in this text an essential protection against regulatory arbitrariness. Lobbyists are active behind the scenes of the American Congress.
The latest tactic to continue to push the deadline, and ultimately kill the bill, was to argue that the Senate does not need to prioritize a vote because digital assets are not a priority for voters.

Regulation becomes a battleground between established interests and new entrants. The antithesis is clear: banks are defending their dominant position, the crypto industry is demanding a framework to innovate in complete security.
52 million Americans await clear rules for regulation
Stand With Crypto claims that 52 million Americans have digital assets in their wallets. Among them, 59% do not support a fixed political party and remain undecided. These are volatile voters who could swing the upcoming midterm elections.
Crypto regulation has become a kitchen topic for millions of American households. More than a third of crypto owners use it for daily personal transfers. 21% use it to pay monthly expenses like rent or bills. 20% purchase everyday goods with digital assets.
Regulation has become a question of digital sovereignty for the United States. China is watching and could set the standards in place of the Americans. Ethics demand that Congress act without further delay.
The key figures of the CLARITY Act
- 52 million Americans own digital assets;
- 74% of crypto owners support pro-regulation candidates;
- 59% of crypto owners do not support a fixed party;
- 30% of Americans use crypto for everyday purchases.
The CLARITY Act divides Washington. JPMorgan and Coinbase clash over this text. The regulation of digital assets has become an electoral issue. Americans expect clear rules. The window is narrowing, the choice is between inaction or decisive progress.
