Bitcoin Historian Post Claims House Democrats Are Working on CLARITY Act

The Bitcoin Historian claimed in a Nov. 4 post that House Democrats were preparing a separate CLARITY Act proposal for the next Congress, but the post gave no legislative details.

A wider market-structure package under House discussion could draw on earlier House and Senate proposals and include ethics limits. Potential elements included a Democratic CLARITY Act bill introduced by Rep. Maxine Waters that failed to pass and terms Democratic and Republican senators agreed on before a September procedural vote.

House passage of the CLARITY Act in 2025 drew support from 78 Democrats and 216 Republicans. All Senate Democrats later opposed a procedural vote to advance it, while 18 Democratic senators supported the GENIUS Act. The votes showed different levels of Democratic support across the two bills.
