Stand With Crypto launches a petition, urging the U.S. Senate to move forward with the “CLARITY Act” for review

According to a statement published on April 28 on its official website by “Stand With Crypto,” the crypto advocacy organization is urging the Senate Banking Committee to schedule a hearing for the “CLARITY Act” and simultaneously launch a public petition; as of the time the statement was released, the petition has accumulated 15,924 signatures, with a goal of 20,000 signatures.

Petition Demands and Issues Linked to the Bill

According to the statement on the official website of “Stand With Crypto,” the petition asks the Senate Banking Committee to immediately schedule a hearing for the “CLARITY Act.” “Stand With Crypto” said in the statement: “We cannot afford any further delay. We are facing a once-in-a-generation opportunity—one that can both lead global digital asset technology development and put future financial tools within reach of every American.”

According to the petition from “Stand With Crypto,” the push to advance the “CLARITY Act” covers the following issues:

· Consumer protection and fraud risk prevention

· Technological innovation and digital asset technology development

· National security

· The argument that digital asset technology development should remain within the United States

Legislative Progress of the “CLARITY Act” and Pending Disputes

According to public legislative records, the “CLARITY Act” received bipartisan support and passed the U.S. House of Representatives in 2025; in January 2026, the Senate Agriculture Committee advanced market-structure legislation based on the version passed by the House, but the Senate Banking Committee—part of whose jurisdiction is involved—has not yet scheduled a hearing date, so the overall progress of the bill has stalled.

According to the statement from “Stand With Crypto,” pending disputes related to the “CLARITY Act” include: stablecoin-related provisions, government officials’ ethics rules, decentralized finance (DeFi) provisions, and the division of market oversight responsibilities between the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
