Crypto stocks surge as Trump backs Clarity Act: Coinbase, Circle, miners rise
Crypto stocks jumped in premarket trading on Thursday after US President Donald Trump pushed Congress to pass the Clarity Act, giving the cryptocurrency industry a clearer set of rules. The move came after Trump met cryptocurrency industry executives at the White House.
Trump asked lawmakers to pass a “fair version” of the Clarity Act, an industry-backed bill that has been stuck in the US Senate. Trump has repeatedly said he wants the US to become the “crypto capital of the world,” according to Reuters.
