More than 120 crypto organizations led by the Crypto Council for Innovation and the Blockchain Association sent a joint April 23 letter urging the U.S. Senate Banking Committee to immediately mark up the CLARITY Act, warning that further delay would deepen regulatory uncertainty for digital-asset markets. At the same time, banking-sector opposition has intensified: the North Carolina Bankers Association said on April 18 that member banks should directly contact Senator Thom Tillis’s office to press objections to the bill. Together, the developments show a more active legislative battle around the CLARITY Act, with crypto groups pushing for clearer federal market-structure rules and banking groups escalating direct lobbying against the measure.
