Senate is to vote on cryptocurrency regulation as Democrats push back on Trump investments
The 600-page bill would set the first national crypto rules and faces Democratic resistance over ethics limits on Trump and other officials.
- Republicans need 60 votes to advance the CLARITY Act on Tuesday, with legislation determining how the Securities and Exchange Commission and Commodity Futures Trading Commission divide crypto market oversight. Odds of passage fell to 16% on Monday.
- Negotiations stalled Monday after Democrats sent a counterproposal to Republican negotiators. Senator Mark Warner dismissed the revised ethics provision as not "near enough," reflecting broader Democratic skepticism of the "final" Republican proposal.
- Senator Raphael Warnock said Democrats should not advance legislation failing to address corruption occurring "in real time." Senator Ruben Gallego noted the offer left "much to be desired," while 18 state attorneys general oppose the bill.
- Tribal and banking groups challenged the text, arguing proposed decentralized finance changes fail to address prediction markets and deposit interest loopholes. Conversely, Blockchain Association CEO Summer Mersinger urged senators to vote yes, citing industry concessions.
- Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis stated President Donald Trump accepted two significant ethics provisions, asserting there was "nothing left to give" Democrats. This impasse leaves uncertainty whether Republicans can secure necessary votes for advancement.
