U.S. Clarity Act may be last real chance this year; failure could push it to 2030

The U.S. Senate is moving to take up the Clarity Act, a cryptocurrency market-structure bill, but analysts warn failure to pass it this year could increase the chances it is redesigned in the new Congress in 2027 or effectively scrapped. A cloture vote is set for Sept. 15 and will require 60 votes, including some Democratic support. Lawmakers face a shrinking legislative calendar and uncertainty over control after November midterm elections.

Clarity bill seen 15 percent likely to pass this year as even Republicans say it is not easy

Prospects for the U.S. “Clarity” crypto bill are dimming, with some Republican senators warning it may lack the support needed to advance next week. Negotiations over strengthened ethics provisions sought by Democrats have shown little progress. Lawmakers from both parties say the ethics dispute remains unresolved despite ethics language in the latest Senate draft. The Senate has scheduled a procedural vote for Sept. 15. The bill’s chance of becoming law this year is put at about 15 percent.

Lummis says missing this session on Clarity Act could delay next chance until 2030

Republican U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis warned again that if the Clarity Act, a cryptocurrency market structure bill, is not handled within the current session, the next meaningful legislative opportunity could be delayed until 2030. She posted the message on X ahead of a procedural vote set for Sept. 15. The vote would determine whether the bill can move into full Senate consideration and requires 60 votes to end debate.
