Trump pledges future-proof crypto market structure as CLARITY Act faces 60-vote Senate math

Trump used a May 27 Truth Social post to promise a durable U.S. crypto market-structure regime, blaming Gary Gensler and the anti-crypto army for pushing bitcoin, perps, and builders offshore. The message lands after the CLARITY Act cleared Senate Banking earlier this month, but the bill still needs to be merged with Senate Agriculture’s draft and find 60 votes. TD Cowen says Trump-family crypto conflict questions make 2026 passage unlikely without ethics language, and Sen. Ruben Gallego has warned he will vote no on the floor unless those issues are addressed.
