Trump Urges Senate to Pass CLARITY Act With Crypto Leaders
President Trump held a White House press conference with Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and Gemini co-founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, urging the Senate to pass the Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act. The House passed the bill in July 2025, but it has stalled in the Senate for months. This high-level endorsement signals that crypto market structure is a priority for the White House. Passing the bill would give U.S. crypto markets clear jurisdictional rules and more durable policy certainty. The bill faces Senate concerns over tokenized equities, stablecoin rewards, and potential conflicts of interest involving the Trump family. Armstrong estimated the bill could receive more than 60 votes after a cloture motion scheduled for Sept. 15.

Trump expected to attend White House meeting with crypto CEOs
President Donald Trump is expected to attend a White House meeting on Wednesday with CEOs from crypto, prediction market, and AI companies, sources say. The gathering includes leaders from Coinbase, Ripple, Gemini, Robinhood, Polymarket, and Kalshi, and precedes the CFTC Innovation Advisory Committee's first meeting on Thursday. Presidential attendance signals high-level government engagement with crypto policy, potentially shaping the regulatory direction for digital assets, prediction markets, and AI. It could influence market sentiment by giving industry leaders direct access to top policymakers and reinforcing expectations of a clearer U.S. crypto framework. The meeting is expected at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, with CFTC Chairman Mike Selig and possibly Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick in attendance. The committee also includes traditional finance leaders from CME Group, Nasdaq, Intercontinental Exchange, and DTCC, and the CFTC agenda includes a session titled 'Crypto's Regulatory Evolution: From Uncertainty to Clarity'.
