White House adviser says Clarity Act could become law by July 4

A senior White House official expressed optimism this week that the Clarity Act could reach President Donald Trump's desk by Independence Day. The comments came during Consensus Miami 2026, where lawmakers and industry figures also discussed ethics rules and prediction markets.

White House Executive Director Patrick Witt told attendees it remains possible for Trump to sign the Clarity Act into law by July 4. The schedule would require a Senate Banking Committee markup this month, several weeks for bill merging and reconciliation, and final votes in both chambers.
