KEY VOTE ALERT – SENATE – YES on the Motion to Invoke Cloture on the Motion Proceed to the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act

Club for Growth urges all Senators to vote YES on the motion to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act and reject any poison-pill amendments designed to weaken the bill, protect entrenched incumbents, or preserve Washington’s regulatory chokehold over digital assets. The results of this vote will be included in the Club for Growth Foundation’s 2026 congressional scorecard.

The CLARITY Act is a pro-growth, pro-innovation, and pro-consumer framework that brings digital asset markets out of regulatory chaos and into a clear, rules-based system. For too long, American entrepreneurs, developers, investors, and consumers have been forced to operate under unclear rules, arbitrary enforcement actions, and agency power grabs that pushed innovation offshore and strengthened foreign competitors. Congress now has an opportunity to reverse that damage and make the United States the world’s home for blockchain innovation.

This legislation draws clear jurisdictional lines between the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, establishes a workable market structure for digital assets, and protects lawful software development, self-custody, and decentralized innovation. It also includes meaningful safeguards against fraud, illicit finance, and bad actors without handing regulators a blank check to smother the industry.

Club for Growth supports preserving the bill’s balanced approach to stablecoin rewards and consumer incentives. The legislation should prevent stablecoins from being treated like bank deposits while still allowing digital asset firms to offer legitimate, activity-based rewards that benefit consumers and encourage competition. Senators should reject efforts by large banks and their allies to use this debate to ban rewards outright, restrict consumer choice, or wall off stablecoin competition from the traditional financial system.

The same principle applies to law enforcement. The CLARITY Act should give law enforcement the tools necessary to pursue fraud, sanctions evasion, money laundering, terrorist financing, and other illicit activity. But those tools must be targeted at criminals, and not used as a backdoor to impose broad surveillance mandates, punish lawful software development, or regulate decentralized technology out of existence. Congress should strengthen accountability for bad actors without granting agencies open-ended authority to harass innovators and consumers.

Opponents will claim the bill is too weak on consumer protection or law enforcement. That argument is wrong. The real choice is not between regulation and no regulation; it is between clear, congressionally written rules and continued regulation by enforcement. The CLARITY Act replaces uncertainty with accountability, protects consumers, and gives legitimate market participants a path to operate in the United States.

A vote for the CLARITY Act is a vote to restore American financial leadership, protect innovation from regulatory abuse, promote competition, and ensure the next era of financial technology is built in America, not overseas. Therefore, Club for Growth urges a YES vote on the motion to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed.
