Goldman Sachs CEO Backs CLARITY Act with Vote Expected Soon
David Solomon said the bill could create clearer rules for digital assets, even as banking groups warn its stablecoin language could drain deposits.
- Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon endorsed the CLARITY Act, arguing that establishing a clear digital asset framework outweighs current disagreements and stating he is "very supportive" of moving the bill forward.
- The American Bankers Association and other major banking groups published a statement on Wednesday warning that the bill's stablecoin provisions pose a risk to "the local lending that drives economic activity in the U.S."
- JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon and other industry leaders oppose the measure, fearing crypto platforms could lure deposits away from traditional lenders and undermine community banking.
- Senate Democrats including Angela Alsobrooks rejected the current text, citing concerns over ethics language and enforcement, reducing the bill's estimated passage odds by 15 percentage points from their July 21 peak.
- Republicans need Democratic support to reach the Senate's 60-vote threshold to pass the measure as leaders press for a vote before the August recess to finalize the market structure framework.
