The CLARITY Act has been blocked by Trump's cryptocurrency investment controversy

The US House Financial Services Committee recently held a hearing to discuss the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY). The bill aims to establish a clear regulatory framework for the cryptocurrency industry, but Trump's close ties to the crypto industry have become the focus of discussion, causing the bill to encounter resistance.
During the hearing, some Democratic lawmakers expressed concern about Trump's involvement in the cryptocurrency space, particularly his support for World Liberty Financial and the subsequent launch of stablecoins and Meme coins, arguing that these actions disrupted the discussion of the bill. Democratic Congressman Gregory Meeks said Trump's actions were too extreme to focus on the bill itself.
Despite this, the bill still has the support of some Democratic lawmakers, and proposals have been made to amend the relevant provisions on conflict of interest. Committee chair French Hill said the bill will move forward in the coming week, but Trump's crypto investments will remain a point of contention.
