U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is actively pushing for the passage of the CLARITY Act in the summer of 2026, with the aim of providing much-needed regulatory clarity for the digital asset market. The bill has already passed the House of Representatives and gained support in a Senate committee, but is currently facing multiple obstacles in the Senate.Meanwhile, the U.S. government is moving forward with the “Bitcoin” strategic reserve established by former President Donald Trump in 2025, capitalizing it with confiscated Bitcoin.As of July 2026, the U.S. government has become one of the world’s largest holders of Bitcoin. Whether these two initiatives can effectively break the deadlock in U.S. cryptocurrency regulation remains dependent on the political maneuvering within Congress and the balancing of various interests.
