Senator Lummis urges Senate to advance CLARITY Act
Wyoming senator Cynthia Lummis pressed the Senate to complete work on the CLARITY Act, saying failure now would push the next realistic chance for market structure legislation to 2030. The bill won House approval in July 2025 but has been gridlocked in the Senate for more than twelve months, with a procedural motion set for September 15 to determine whether debate can finish. Democratic demands for ethics requirements remain unresolved. Observers see final passage before November midterms as unlikely, while markets show strong bitcoin prices and continued institutional momentum despite the legislative impasse.
