Trump Administration Restarts CLARITY Talks to Align Banks and Crypto on Regulation

On January 29, 2026, the Trump administration restarted CLARITY talks involving U.S. regulators, banks, and crypto firms after a pause marked by regulatory gridlock and institutional caution. The agenda centers on practical coordination between traditional finance and digital asset markets, including custody, tokenization, and jurisdictional boundaries, as participants seek enforceable standards rather than deregulation. Outcomes from these discussions could influence how banks scale crypto services and how firms structure their operations in the U.S. market.
