Express News | U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent strongly urges the Senate to pass the Clarity Act
On September 10, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent posted on X, strongly urging the Senate to advance the legislative process for the cryptocurrency Clarity Act following the end of the August recess. He stated that the bill would prevent "bad actors" from exploiting critical digital asset technologies and called on all parties to remain at the negotiating table, agree to proceed with procedural motions, and continue the legislative process. Bessent warned that failure to pass the bill would send a disturbing signal to both allies and adversaries, suggesting that the United States is unwilling to lead the future of digital assets and is willing to forgo national security tools to combat digital asset abuse. In July, Bessent had stated that passing the Clarity Act was essential to upholding "American exceptionalism," citing remarks by Satoshi Nakamoto.

President Trump has also urged lawmakers to push for the bill's passage.

Currently, German law classifies cryptocurrency gains as proceeds from the sale of personal assets, which are not subject to capital gains tax. The German Ministry of Finance estimates that the legislative amendment will generate an additional €350 million in tax revenue. Relevant officials from the German Ministry of Finance...
