Former Pentagon Chief Calls CLARITY Act a National Security Bill Ahead of Sept. 15 Senate Vote

Former U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper told Congress the CLARITY Act is a national security bill, not just financial services. In a Financial Times op-ed, he argued China and sanctioned networks gain ground daily as the U.S. delays crypto market rules. The Senate vote is set for September 15, with Esper urging passage to secure U.S. leadership.
