Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has attributed delays in the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act to the emergence of Trump-linked tokens, which he claims have politicized the legislative process. The TRUMP token launch is cited as a significant factor in altering the bill's bipartisan support. The Clarity Act aims to classify cryptocurrencies as either commodities or securities. Meanwhile, White House crypto advisor David Sacks has confirmed that the Senate Banking Committee plans to mark up the bill in January 2026.
