Clarity Act News: Patrick Witt Reveals White House Stepped In to Save Crypto Bill


Crypto Analyst Tony Edward spoke with Patrick Witt, Executive Director, President’s Council of Advisors for Digital Assets at the Solana Policy Institute summit, where Witt gave a grounded update on the Clarity Act and what’s actually coming next behind the scenes.

Witt made it clear that the stablecoin issue almost blocked the bill completely. That’s when the White House stepped in to mediate between banks and crypto companies, trying to find language both sides could live with.

“We had to step in there and serve as a mediator… bringing the banks and crypto companies together… and ultimately get it to a place where we felt like it was ready to hand back over to the Senate… not to say either side is thrilled about it.”

He explained that this wasn’t about making everyone happy; it was about getting enough agreement to move forward. Banks wanted stricter rules if crypto firms act like banks, while crypto players didn’t want extra layers added at all. The final version sits somewhere in between.

The Clarity Act Timeline Is Tight

Witt didn’t sugarcoat the timeline either.

“Just working backwards from the August recess… you realize you have to take action now to get this out of the banking committee.”

From here, the bill still has to clear the Senate, go through reconciliation, and pass the House before reaching Donald Trump. There’s still a process, and it’s not a short one.

What Happens After the Crypto Bill Passes

Once the Clarity Act is done, the focus shifts quickly.

SEC charges Donald Basile in $16M crypto fraud tied to 'insured' token

The US Securities and Exchange Commission has filed a lawsuit against crypto executive Donald Basile, accusing him and two companies he controlled of raising about $16 million from investors through false claims tied to a so-called "insured" crypto token known as Bitcoin Latinum.

In a complaint filed Friday in the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York, the SEC alleged that Basile ran the scheme between March and December 2021 through Monsoon Blockchain Corp. and GIBF GP Inc., offering investors Simple Agreements for Future Tokens (SAFTs) that promised future delivery of the token, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal.

Regulators said hundreds of investors were told the asset was backed and insured, but the SEC alleged no insurance company ever provided coverage or any proof that these claims were true, per the report.

Bitcoin climbed toward $80,000 after Iran said the Strait of Hormuz was fully open to commercial traffic for the remainder of the ceasefire period, easing pressure on one of the world’s most important energy chokepoints and triggering a broader risk-on move across markets.

The largest cryptocurrency rose 5% on the news to as high as $77,700, according to CryptoSlate data. The move extended a weeklong rebound that has lifted Bitcoin nearly 7% from below $70,000 to its strongest level since the early February crash.

Top Solana Executive Buys $10,000 XRP: Details


A senior executive at the Solana Foundation has revealed a $10,000 $XRP purchase made directly on the Solana network.

The move has since sparked discussions and excitement in the crypto community. Notably, the $XRP purchase came after a major integration involving Solana, Ripple, $XRP, HexTrust, and LayerZero.

Key Points

A Solana executive revealed a $10K $XRP buy via wXRP, sparking buzz across crypto communities.

The purchase used Solana DeFi rails, swapping $USDT for 6,561 wXRP ahead of an $XRP-focused conference.

wXRP enables $XRP holders to access trading, yield, and memecoin exposure within Solana’s ecosystem.

While price impact is unclear, the integration expands $XRP’s reach and could drive long-term demand growth.

Solana Exec Reveals wXRP Purchase

Vibhu Norby, who serves as Solana’s chief product officer, shared on X that he bought $10,000 worth of $XRP using Solana-based infrastructure.

According to the details he posted, about 10,000 $USDT was swapped for 6,561.236 wrapped $XRP (wXRP) on April 17. The purchase comes just as he prepares to speak at the $XRP Las Vegas on May 1. Notably, he plans to discuss how Solana DeFi expands $XRP’s use cases during the upcoming conference.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei sat down with senior Trump administration officials last Friday in what analysts are calling a pivotal move to repair a strained relationship between the AI company and the federal government. The meeting, attended by White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, centered on the responsible rollout of Mythos — Anthropic's highly anticipated next-generation artificial intelligence model.Mythos has emerged as a catalyst for both sides returning to the negotiating table. The model's dual potential for transformative applications and serious cybersecurity risks has made cooperation between the AI startup and Washington increasingly urgent. Officials described the talks as "productive and constructive," with discussions covering collaborative frameworks and shared protocols for managing the risks that come with deploying such advanced AI technology at scale.The backdrop to Friday's meeting is a months-long standoff rooted in disagreements over how the U.S. Defense Department could use Anthropic's Claude models. The company had declined to grant the Pentagon unrestricted access, raising concerns over autonomous weapons systems and mass surveillance. That refusal led President Donald Trump to direct federal agencies to distance themselves from the firm. Now, however, the Office of Management and Budget is reportedly preparing accommodations that would allow government agencies to begin using Mythos — signaling a possible reversal.For Anthropic, resolving the conflict carries major business implications. With an IPO on the horizon, analysts warn that continued tensions with the current administration could hurt the company's position as a top AI model provider. To strengthen its Washington influence, Anthropic recently hired lobbyists with close ties to the Trump administration.International interest is als

Quantum computing has long served as Bitcoin’s most cinematic threat. It has the right ingredients for a high-drama warning, strange machines, broken cryptography, and the possibility of a future rewrite of digital trust.

Yet the greater danger facing Bitcoin today looks far more ordinary and far more commercial. It is artificial intelligence, and the pressure point is electricity.

That pressure is already visible. As of today, Bitcoin is trading at $77,845 on CryptoSlate, up 5% over 24 hours, 6.7% over seven days, and 9.2% over 30 days.

Price has recovered over the past month, but the mining side of the network is still operating under tighter economics than the market’s casual surface suggests.

In its Q1 2026 mining report, CoinShares said the weighted average cash cost to produce one Bitcoin among publicly listed miners rose to about $79,995 in Q4 2025. The same report said the current hashprice around $30 per petahash per day leaves an estimated 15% to 20% of the global fleet underwater if power costs are high enough.

That is where AI enters the picture with a much sharper edge than quantum. Quantum remains a serious long-term cryptographic issue. NIST has already finalized its first post-quantum standards because the migration clock is real, and IBM’s roadmap targets the first large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computer by 2029.

Bitcoin rallied hard after Iran said it was reopening the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping.

Bitcoin hit the highest level since February, oil prices dropped, Wall Street notched another record, and the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield slipped to 4.24%. But here’s the catch: markets acted as if the reopening had solved the core standoff between Washington and Tehran.

Look closer, though, and the story gets more complicated. The opening is only temporary, the blockade is still in place, mine-clearing operations are ongoing, and there’s plenty of confusion about what Iran has actually agreed to.
