Huge Crypto White House Meeting Today: CLARITY Act to be Passed?
Washington Rushes Crypto Deal Amid Imminent Regulation Clarity
Washington is rushing to encapsulate a definitive regulatory framework for digital assets, with House Financial Services Committee Chair Patrick McHenry predicting a deal is effectively “ready for grading.” This is a separate framework from the CLARITY Act, which is currently stalled in the Senate.
Just as the CFTC and SEC join forces to streamline crypto regulations, the push for a unified standard is gaining critical momentum. This shift mirrors the numismatic industry’s historic pivot to third-party grading, effectively looking to transform “raw” digital assets into certified commodities with clear direction.
This push for a clearer regulatory framework in the US comes on the heels of last week’s crypto crash, which wiped over $700Bn from the total crypto market cap and briefly pushed the Bitcoin price below $60,000.
However, the market has since rebounded slightly, as BTC USD is now trading at around $68,500, and the total crypto market cap has regained $2.4 trillion.

Washington Regulators Meeting Today: Expect Big News on the CLARITY Act and More
Insiders suggest the legislative die is finally being paired for a high-relief strike. McHenry’s confidence stems from recent administrative shifts, including the establishment of the new Presidential Working Group on Digital Asset Markets.
The administration is prioritizing clarity to prevent the kind of legislative gridlock that has the CLARITY Act currently stalled in the Senate, with a White House meeting scheduled for today (February 10) to break the deadlock.

The current negotiation, brokered by Patrick Witt, a key digital asset advisor in the Trump administration, aims to address structural defects that have historically led to “details grade” assessments for crypto projects, marking them as damaged.
Much like the evolution of cryptocurrency regulation described by market historians, this deal seeks to establish once and for all whether assets are securities, commodities, or currencies. While the GENIUS Act provided the planchet in 2025, this new deal aims for the coveted MS-70 perfect grade in regulatory certainty.
Dozens of SEC Cases Dropped Since Trump Re-Entered Office in January 2025
If Washington passes a clear, straightforward law, the value of crypto projects that follow the rules could stop being driven mostly by hype. We’re already seeing regulators take a softer approach, for example, when the SEC dropped its crypto lending case against Gemini Exchange.
Gemini isn’t the only example, since Trump re-entered office in January 2025, SEC cases against Binance, Robinhood, Ripple (XRP), and many others have all been dropped, highlighting the pro-crypto approach of this Trump administration.
This change suggests that US crypto regulation may finally be settling down after years of uncertainty. Investors should pay close attention to the first major law that passes, because markets usually react before the rules are officially in place, kind of like collectors rushing to buy a rare coin before everyone realizes how scarce it is.
