Charles Schwab, managing $13 trillion in assets, has officially endorsed the CLARITY Act as Congress faces a tight deadline before its August recess. The bill, which establishes distinct regulatory boundaries between the SEC and CFTC, comes as Schwab expands its direct Bitcoin and Ethereum trading services. Senate Majority Leader John Thune noted a current lack of necessary votes, though White House officials remain hopeful for a pre-recess floor vote. Schwab analysts warn that failing to pass the legislation before the August 10 recess risks delaying crypto market structure reform until after the midterm elections, whereas passage could reignite institutional adoption.

Charles Schwab’s wealth management has publicly backed the CLARITY Act worth thirteen trillion—this is an extremely strong signal. The exact number of votes in the Senate is still uncertain right now, but the White House is still working to secure a vote before the recess. If the bill gets stuck, it may affect market sentiment in the short term; however, in the long run, the trend toward institutionalization will not reverse. In the future, Charles Schwab users will be able to directly buy and sell Bitcoin and Ethereum, which is even more direct than many ETFs.

If the CLARITY Act can pass before the August recess, it would be a major positive for reforms to the crypto market structure; otherwise, it would have to be postponed until after the midterm elections. Charles Schwab directly entered the fray to trade BTC and ETH, indicating that traditional financial giants are indeed accelerating their deployments.

Schwab’s statement carries a lot of weight—$13 trillion. If the bill passes, institutional participation could accelerate.
