US Senate advances landmark crypto bill before heading on August recess
The move sets up a 60-vote procedural test as negotiators work through ethics and stablecoin disputes.
- On Saturday, Senate Majority Leader John Thune filed a motion to advance the Digital Assets Market Clarity Act, setting up a procedural vote for mid-September when the Senate returns from its August recess.
- The legislation seeks to create a comprehensive federal rulebook for the crypto industry, defining which regulators oversee digital tokens; it requires 60 votes to clear the Senate's cloture process.
- Democrats continue demanding restrictions on officials' crypto ventures, citing reports that President Donald Trump earned more than $1.4 billion from family projects last year, leaving negotiations fluid on this ethics provision.
- With only three weeks of Senate session next month, the bill navigates a crowded legislative agenda alongside federal funding, Russia sanctions, and nominations as Senate leaders pursue bipartisan support.
- If the partisan rift persists, the Clarity Act is unlikely to pass this year, potentially forcing the industry to reset its legislative strategy when the new Congress convenes next year.
