June 11 – The so-called CLARITY Act, formally named the Cryptocurrency Market Structure Act, is hitting two major roadblocks as it advances through the U.S. Senate. On Tuesday, a closed-door meeting between a bipartisan group of senators and Patrick Witt, director of the White House Cryptocurrency Task Force, ended in a stalemate.
