U.S. Treasury Secretary Urges Congress to Pass CLARITY Act for Digital Asset Regulation

U.S. Treasury Secretary Besant has called on Congress to swiftly pass the CLARITY Act to establish a clear regulatory framework for digital assets. According to Foresight News, the global market value of digital assets has fluctuated between $2 trillion and $3 trillion over the past year, with approximately one-sixth of Americans holding some form of digital asset. The application of blockchain technology in payments, settlements, and physical asset exchanges continues to expand. Cryptocurrencies are no longer niche experiments but are widely adopted technologies globally. The United States must take proactive measures to continue leading in the establishment of rules in this field.
