Ahead of an important week for digital assets legislation, Stand With Crypto (SWC) and over 60 other industry firms sent a letter urging House lawmakers to champion clear regulations for the industry and unlock its potential.
Industry Coalition Pushes For CLARITY Act Approval
On Monday, advocacy group Stand With Crypto, alongside 65 other firms and groups, sent a letter to the US House of Representatives urging lawmakers to support the bipartisan Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act of 2025 as the US approaches a “pivotal crossroad.”

The industry coalition argued that digital assets continue to reshape the global economy, despite some efforts to “politicize crypto legislation,” adding that the US risks falling behind unless pro-crypto policies that fully embrace blockchain technology are quickly adopted.
There are already signs of U.S. crypto leadership slipping. We cannot afford to let inaction and uncertainty jeopardize our ability to secure Americaʼs economic future. Above all else the U.S. crypto industry needs market structure — which ensures there are clear rules of the road and provides the regulatory clarity that developers, users, and advocates need to continue innovating.
The letter explains that digital assets are “providing a foundation for a more inclusive, transparent, and secure digital economy,” and “opening doors for economic opportunity, innovation, and financial empowerment on a scale weʼve never seen before.”
As such, crypto developers require clear guidance and safeguards to continue building blockchain systems, with standards for transparency, security, and accountability, and where users can control their digital assets.
The lack of standardized rules has hindered institutional adoption, innovation, and pushed talent and businesses to more industry-friendly jurisdictions outside the US. Nonetheless, passing the long-awaited market structure bill would address these issues, the crypto coalition argues.
House Lawmakers Prepare For ‘Crypto Week’
Notably, SWC’s letter comes ahead of the highly anticipated “Crypto Week,” which will see the review of three key legislations during the week of July 14 to 18, including the GENIUS Act and CLARITY Act.
As reported by Bitcoinist, House Financial Services Committee Chair French Hill, House Agriculture Committee Chair Glenn Thompson, and Speaker Mike Johnson announced the upcoming discussion on rules on stablecoins, market structure, and central bank digital currency as part of Congress’s efforts to make America the crypto capital of the world.
Chairman Thompson affirmed that “it will soon be time for the House to deliver for the American people and send CLARITY to the Senate. I thank House Leadership for recognizing the urgent need for CLARITY to cement American leadership in the digital asset space.”
The bipartisan bill was introduced on May 29 by Chairman Hill, aiming to establish a regulatory framework for crypto assets and provide the long-awaited clarity and protection for the industry.
If passed, the legislation will assign clear roles and responsibilities to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), which would “not only enable and empower developers to innovate, but also protect consumers through choice, foster greater participation in the blockchain economy, and strengthen national security.”
Nearly a month ago, the bill passed its two committee markups, but it still needs to pass the full House vote and the Senate before heading to President Donald Trump’s desk.
However, its path to approval has been uncertain, as House Democrats have heavily criticized the bill, and some lawmakers have pushed to merge it with the GENIUS Act, making next week’s debate a pivotal moment for the legislation.
