White House chief crypto adviser Patrick Witt said he remains optimistic that the Clarity Act can still become law, even as debate continues over stablecoin yield provisions and concerns among Democrats about potential conflicts tied to Donald Trump and his family’s crypto business interests. Speaking Tuesday at the SALT annual conference in Wyoming, Witt said lawmakers are currently in the August recess and are expected back in Washington in mid-September. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has scheduled a procedural vote on the bill for Sept. 15. Witt said the White House plans to sit down with Democrats, work through the sticking points and secure solid vote support before that date. The Clarity Act, which runs more than 600 pages, is designed to create a comprehensive federal regulatory framework for the U.S. crypto industry, but it has faced repeated obstacles in recent months. The Sept. 15 vote is now shaping up as a key test for whether the bill can keep moving.

Witt said the White House will sit down with Democrats to discuss the points of disagreement and try to lock in solid vote support by Sept. 15. He said he feels “genuinely optimistic and bullish” about the bill.
The Clarity Act spans more than 600 pages and is intended to establish a comprehensive federal regulatory framework for the U.S. crypto industry, but it has run into repeated setbacks over the past several months.
The main disputes now include how stablecoin yield should be handled, along with Democratic concerns over potential conflicts of interest involving Trump and his family’s crypto business interests. The Sept. 15 vote is emerging as a decisive moment for whether the Clarity Act can continue advancing. While the White House is trying to project confidence, the bill still needs bipartisan backing, especially on stablecoins, ethics provisions and the division of regulatory authority.
