Stand With Crypto, America’s leading crypto advocacy organization, escalated its Senate pressure campaign on April 30 by delivering a petition signed by 28,000 Americans directly to Washington. The petition urges the Senate Banking Committee to schedule a markup for the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act). On social media platform X, the group stated: “Today, we hand-delivered a message to Washington. Over 28,000 Americans signed our petition this week, asking the Senate one thing: mark up the CLARITY Act. We’re watching. We’re organized. And we’re voting.”
Petition Demands End to Regulatory Gray Areas
Mason Lynaugh, Executive Director of Stand With Crypto, said it was an honor to bring the community’s voice to Washington. He added that the organization is working to empower crypto owners nationwide. The campaign turns regulatory messaging into a voter-focused demand, arguing that delays leave crypto users, developers, and companies operating in gray areas. The CLARITY Act would protect consumers from fraud and abuse, support broader technology adoption, and strengthen national security, according to the petition. It also ties the bill to U.S. leadership in digital asset technology.
Legislative Background of the CLARITY Act
The CLARITY Act passed the House with bipartisan support in 2025, while related market structure legislation moved through the Senate Agriculture Committee in January 2026. The Senate Banking Committee remains the critical next step, as supporters view markup as necessary to advance the bill. The broader debate includes stablecoin rewards, ethics language for government officials, decentralized finance provisions, and oversight lines between the SEC and CFTC. Stand With Crypto’s second X post emphasized: “It’s time to mark up the CLARITY Act and deliver for the millions of Americans who are relying on their lawmakers to stand with them.”
Crypto Community Intensifies Pressure on Senate
Stand With Crypto was initially launched as the Stand With Crypto Alliance on August 14, 2023, introduced by Coinbase as an advocacy organization to organize digital asset owners. Since then, the group has conducted offline events, online petitions, and direct lobbying to pressure senators. Analysts warn that if the Senate Banking Committee fails to schedule a markup soon, the bill may stall in the current congressional session. Stand With Crypto has made clear that crypto voters are organized and will hold lawmakers accountable at the ballot box for their actions—or inaction.
