After a year of negotiations, discussions on the CLARITY bill have narrowed down to a few final issues.
Trump hopes to complete the CLARITY bill before Congress recedes in September.
If lawmakers fail to pass the bill, the SEC and CFTC may advance cryptocurrency regulation.
CLARITY bill negotiations enter final stages
White House cryptocurrency adviser Patrick Vitter said at the SALT Conference in Wyoming that after more than a year of bipartisan negotiations, lawmakers have narrowed the discussion to a few final issues. Witt pointed out that the CLARITY bill has entered what he called a "decisive stage."
The comments came as President Donald Trump renewed pressure on Congress to complete the Digital Asset Market Structure Act. The White House meeting also showed that regulators could act independently if lawmakers were unable to reach a deal.

In an interview with Fox Business Channel, Digital Chamber of Commerce CEO Cody Carbonne said that the CLARITY bill was a key issue at the White House cryptocurrency conference. He said Trump hopes to complete the bill and plans to sign it into law in September.
The Senate is expected to begin procedural review of the bill in mid-September. Lawmakers will then face a three-week session before entering an October long recess before mid-term elections in November. Carbonne said the September window was crucial because legislative work would be more difficult during recess and election periods. He added that Republicans and Democrats still have the will to complete the bill before then.
The White House hints that regulators may bypass congressional action
The meeting also discussed what could happen if the CLARITY bill failed to move forward. Caben said the government does not intend to wait indefinitely for legislation before advancing cryptocurrency regulation. He said the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission have received White House support and can act quickly. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins and CFTC Chairman Michael Selig also attended the meeting.
Carbonne said both agency heads supported congressional action, but could become more proactive if the bill stalled. He said if lawmakers are unable to complete legislation, regulators may advance certain provisions through the regulatory process. If the September push fails, this approach could shift more responsibility to the SEC and CFTC. However, Kaben said participants still believed that passing the bill by Congress was the preferred outcome.
CLARITY bill will define digital assets and institutional roles
The CLARITY bill will establish legal definitions for digital assets, online tokens and digital goods, clarify the responsibilities of the SEC and CFTC, and strive to avoid overlapping or contradictory rules. Carbonne said the framework will provide long-term certainty for developers, issuers, platforms and investors. He also said the bill would increase consumer protection and disclosure requirements in the digital asset market.
Conference participants included representatives from cryptocurrency companies, traditional finance, exchanges and other technology fields. Participants also discussed artificial intelligence, blockchain development and broader U.S. technology policy. Caben said Trump reiterated his goal of making the United States a center for cryptocurrencies and innovation. He also said he was pleased that the government planned to continue to act despite legislative uncertainty.
Currently, the legislative focus remains on remaining issues and the Senate's September schedule. If negotiators resolve final differences, the CLARITY bill is expected to make progress during the session.
