According to White House crypto advisor Patrick Witt, the CLARITY Act could be passed by July 4, 2026. Witt also stated that an announcement for the operational and legal framework of a US Bitcoin Strategic Reserve could happen within weeks, which will likely expand upon an executive order signed in March 2025.
As the name suggests, the CLARITY Act aims to establish a rulebook for the crypto industry. It will designate which regulatory agency governs specific assets. Consequently, a joint statement this year already classified Bitcoin as a digital commodity.
The act’s passage may create a safer environment for investors. This could boost confidence and potentially increase market inflows. Meanwhile, the establishment of a strategic Bitcoin reserve could further drive adoption.
Such a reserve would involve the US government purchasing Bitcoin strategically. This move could provide additional price support for the asset. Furthermore, it may lead to greater legitimization of the asset class for both retail and institutional investors.
