CLARITY Act markup set June 5

- House Republicans scheduled a June 5, 2026 markup tied to the CLARITY Act, according to social posts and House records for the bill. - H.R. 3633, introduced by Chairman French Hill, would create a digital-asset market structure framework and provisional CFTC registration process. - June 5 proceedings are expected to begin at 10:30 a.m. Eastern; House committee calendars and the document repository are the next checkpoints.

House Republicans are signaling another procedural step for the CLARITY Act this week, with crypto-focused social media accounts pointing followers to a June 5 markup at 10:30 a.m. Eastern. House records confirm the CLARITY Act is H.R. 3633, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025, a bill that cleared committee and later passed the House in 2025. The latest online attention came after an X post from TheCryptoSquire told XRP holders to watch the June 5 session. Public House committee pages reviewed on June 2 did not yet show a matching fresh markup notice, but official House materials identify the bill text, prior committee action and the committees that have handled it. ### What exactly is scheduled for June 5? An X post published on June 1 by TheCryptoSquire said the CLARITY Act markup had been “fast-tracked” for June 5 at 10:30 a.m. EST and urged XRP holders to monitor the session. The post drew about 120 likes in the social briefing supplied for this story. That gives a time and date, but it is not itself an official congressional notice. (congress.gov) House committee websites reviewed on June 2 showed no clearly posted June 5 CLARITY markup notice in the search results available through official pages. The House document repository and committee calendars are typically where markup notices, amendment text and witness or meeting materials appear when formally posted. ### Which bill are traders and aides talking about? H.R. 3633 is the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025, according to Congress.gov. (financialservices.house.gov) The bill says it may be cited as the “Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025” or the “CLARITY Act of 2025,” and it also carries the short title “Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act.” French Hill, the Arkansas Republican who chairs the House Financial Services Committee, introduced the measure on May 29, 2025, according to a section-by-section summary published by the committee. (docs.house.gov) Glenn “GT” Thompson, the Pennsylvania Republican who chairs the House Agriculture Committee, has also been a central sponsor and public advocate for the legislation. (congress.gov) ### What would the CLARITY Act do? The House Financial Services Committee’s section-by-section summary says the bill would set a market-structure framework for digital assets and divide oversight responsibilities between securities and commodities regulators. One of its core operating provisions would allow provisional registration with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission for digital commodity exchanges, brokers and dealers. (financialservices.house.gov) The same summary says the bill would create an exemption from traditional securities registration for some digital commodity offerings if specified conditions and disclosure requirements are met. Committee Republicans have described the measure as a way to give digital-asset businesses clearer rules while maintaining consumer protections. (financialservices.house.gov) ### Has Congress already acted on this bill before? June 10, 2025 is the date the House Agriculture Committee marked up H.R. 3633 and reported it favorably by a recorded vote of 47-6, according to the House document repository. The House Financial Services Committee separately reported the bill favorably by a recorded vote of 32-19, according to the committee’s event page. (financialservices.house.gov) July 17, 2025 is when the House Agriculture Committee said the CLARITY Act passed the House. A separate House Rules Committee page shows the bill was considered alongside other crypto legislation in July 2025. ### Why are XRP holders and crypto accounts watching this? XRP was singled out in the June 1 social-media post, which told holders to “watch” the markup, but the post did not cite any XRP-specific provision in the bill text. (docs.house.gov) The broader reason crypto traders track CLARITY is that the legislation addresses how digital assets could be classified and which federal regulator would oversee different parts of the market. (agriculture.house.gov) House Republicans have framed the bill as a market-structure measure for the wider digital-asset industry, not as a single-token bill. Thompson said in January that Senate action on CLARITY was a milestone in market-structure legislation, while Hill called it a step toward “clear rules of the road” for digital assets after House passage in 2025. (congress.gov) ### Where should readers look next for confirmation? June 5 at 10:30 a.m. Eastern is the time circulating on social media, but the most useful confirmation points are the House committee calendars, the House document repository and any same-day committee livestream pages. If a markup proceeds, those pages typically carry the meeting notice, amendment text, vote records or video links. H.R. 3633 already has a public legislative trail through Congress.gov, prior committee markup pages and House committee press releases. (agriculture.house.gov) The next concrete update should be a posted notice, meeting materials or recorded committee action tied to the June 5 session. (congress.gov) (docs.house.gov)
