Witt: Crypto Sector Set to "Take Off Like a Rocket Ship" Once CLARITY Act Becomes Law

Patrick Witt, executive director of the White House Presidential Advisory Council on Digital Assets, struck an upbeat tone at the Bitcoin 2026 conference in Las Vegas, saying the crypto industry will "take off like a rocket ship" once the CLARITY Act is signed into law. The event, which opened April 27 in Las Vegas, Nevada, drew senior regulators and officials including the SEC, the CFTC, and White House digital-asset advisers. Witt also suggested a major announcement on a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve could arrive in the coming weeks. Market analysts are already framing the development as one of the most bullish regulatory moments in Bitcoin's history.
