Progress on U.S. CLARITY Act but 60 votes in full Senate uncertain
The U.S. Senate Banking Committee approved the CLARITY crypto market structure bill by 15 to 9, with two Democrats joining Republicans. Support in the full Senate remains uncertain as those Democrats set conditions tied to ethics language. U.S. banking groups also urged changes to stablecoin provisions, warning of regulatory loopholes. The bill must be reconciled with another Senate version and needs at least 60 votes in the full chamber.
