Five Wall Street firms support the CLARITY Act separately, not through one coordinated industry declaration. House and Senate panels advanced the bill, but final passage still depends on clea
A viral post from Crypto Rover has renewed attention on the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act as the Senate approaches a critical deadline. The post linked BlackRock, Charles Schwab, Fidelity, Goldman Sachs, and Grayscale, placing their combined assets near $50 trillion.
Together, these asset managers manage roughly $50 TRILLION in assets.
The total crypto market cap is only $2.2T.
The next bull market will be absolutely WILD. https://t.co/etbANkGeOJ

That comparison attracted significant interest as the global cryptocurrency market was valued at approximately $2.29 trillion, closely matching the post’s $2.2 trillion estimate. However, the companies did not issue a coordinated endorsement, as each expressed separate views shaped by its commercial interests and regulatory priorities.
Fidelity Public Policy urged lawmakers to pass the CLARITY Act, arguing that clear federal rules would strengthen investor confidence and preserve United States competitiveness. Similarly, Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon supported advancing the measure despite its imperfections, saying the framework could promote stability and create a more level market.
Grayscale also endorsed the legislation, describing the CLARITY Act as a legal foundation for developers, token issuers, and regulated digital-asset intermediaries. Meanwhile, Charles Schwab’s position emerged through strategist Jim Ferraioli, who identified the measure as a critical catalyst for Bitcoin and broader institutional adoption.
BlackRock research has likewise presented the proposal as an important part of the developing regulatory framework for tokenized assets. Nevertheless, the available statements do not indicate that all five companies signed a common declaration or made identical commitments.
That distinction is important when assessing the scale and meaning of Wall Street’s support. Their interests span exchange-traded products, institutional custody, brokerage services, tokenization, and the infrastructure supporting digital-asset markets.
Consequently, each company has approached the legislation from a different commercial and regulatory perspective. Their separate endorsements therefore reflect shared demand for clearer rules rather than a coordinated industry campaign.
The House approved H.R. 3633 by a 294-134 vote in July 2025, giving the proposal broad but incomplete bipartisan momentum. That progress continued in May 2026, when the Senate Banking Committee advanced its version by a 15-9 vote.
Building on those earlier steps, Senator Cynthia Lummis released updated text on July 22. The draft combined work from the Senate Banking and Agriculture committees. However, the legislation still needs enough bipartisan backing to clear the Senate’s 60-vote procedural threshold.
The latest version would divide digital-asset oversight between the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. It would also impose anti-money-laundering requirements on major intermediaries while preserving existing securities laws for tokenized stocks.
In addition, a proposed compromise would prohibit passive interest on stablecoin balances while allowing certain incentives linked directly to transactions. Even so, several political disagreements remain unresolved.
Senate Democrats argue that the bill’s ethics provisions do not adequately address potential conflicts involving elected officials. Senator Elizabeth Warren has also identified gaps related to investor protection and national security.
Meanwhile, banking groups remain concerned that stablecoin incentives could draw deposits away from regulated institutions. With the Senate’s August recess approaching, lawmakers now face a narrow window to secure the bipartisan agreement required to advance the bill.
