CLARITY Act Nears Senate Deadline
The CLARITY Act is moving through an increasingly narrow Senate window toward a floor vote as ethics disputes, opposition coalitions, and shifting passage odds keep the bill's fate uncertain.
The CLARITY Act has encountered a dual setback as ethical negotiations collapsed, leaving a 31-day window before Senate recess to advance the crypto market structure legislation.
CLARITY Act: the countdown begins
We are thirty-one days before Senate recess.
If the CLARITY Act doesn't move in that window, it dies for the session and the whole negotiation resets.
The blockage is the side battle over safeguards targeting Trump's cryptocurrency business interests. The bill is being held hostage to a fight that has nothing to do with wider crypto interests.
That's the pattern worth watching: every time crypto legislation gets close, something unrelated drags it back into the mud. Whether this bill survives the next month probably depends less on policy than on whether the ethics argument gets quietly shelved. I'm not sure it will.
