Crypto advocates have reached a significant milestone, contacting U.S. lawmakers nearly one million times in support of the CLARITY Act, an emerging digital asset bill facing critical votes before Congress' August recess.
Public and Institutional Support Surges for Digital Asset Legislation
Stand With Crypto, a grassroots organization with about 3 million registered supporters, has been leading a broad lobbying effort to push the CLARITY Act forward. According to their latest update, advocates have sent close to one million messages this year alone, reflecting intense public pressure and sustained interest in clear crypto regulation. Since the group's inception, over 1.1 million communications have been directed at Congress, with 925,000 sent during 2025.
The CLARITY Act aims to establish a federal framework to regulate digital assets by defining when oversight responsibility lies with the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Provisions in the bill cover critical areas including exchange registration, asset listings, transparency for customers, and enforcement against fraud and market manipulation.
Major Financial and Law Enforcement Groups Join the Push
This week, the bill gained fresh backing from influential players. Fidelity, managing $7.1 trillion in assets and overseeing $18 trillion under administration, publicly urged senators to approve the legislation, highlighting that uniform regulations would boost investor confidence and provide clearer rules for businesses.
Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon also voiced support, adding momentum from Wall Street's perspective. Meanwhile, the Fraternal Order of Police, representing 382,000 active and retired officers, endorsed the bill after modifications safeguarded law enforcement tools such as criminal investigation protections and digital asset seizure protocols.
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer called the police union's endorsement a major development, emphasizing its role in maintaining U.S. leadership in the crypto sector. He noted ongoing bipartisan commitment and collaboration with law enforcement to ensure the bill's passage.
Despite this coalition, no Senate floor vote has been scheduled yet, and seven Senate Democrats have expressed opposition to the current draft, leaving the bill's future uncertain as the legislative calendar tightens.
