The Subcommittee on Digital Assets, Financial Science and Technology and Artificial Intelligence of the Financial Services Committee of the United States House of Representatives will hold a field hearing on the CLARITY bill in New York on 17 July. The hearing itself could not move the bill to a vote, but would mobilize more support for legislation before the National Assembly adjourned in August.

The hearing is scheduled for 17 July.

The main theme of the hearing was “Building the Financial Future: How the CLARITY Bill releases innovation”. Under the disclosure arrangement, members of Parliament would be given further impetus to the bill by listening to representatives of the encryption and financial industries.

  • WisdomTree Chief Justice Ryan Louvar
  • Nova Labs Chief Justice Sarah Aberg
  • Bullish Clearing and Group Risk Leader Randy Abernathy

Among them, WisdomTree, for its part, is expected to testify about how monetized assets have expanded to comply in the United States market.

The bill is still stuck to three differences.

Reports indicate that the CLARITY Bill had previously passed multi-track procedures. The bill was passed by the House of Representatives in 2025 and approved by the Senate Banking Commission in May 2026 by 15 to 9.

However, the bill is still pending a final vote, mainly because three articles have not yet been agreed upon.

  • Restrictions on the holding or trading of encrypted assets by government officials
  • Whether open source developers should be held responsible for code abuse
  • Whether or not a stable currency can be automatically paid as interest or gain on holding

Continued support until recess

As these differences have not yet been resolved, it is unlikely that the Senate will arrange for a final vote in the short term. The hearing was therefore seen as a key public move by the House of Representatives to move the bill forward before the parliamentary recess on 7 August.

In terms of the agenda, the hearing was more like a focused presentation and pressure window than a voting session. Its role is mainly to bring together industry inputs, expand public discussions and seek political space for subsequent legislative consultations.
