The Push for Legislative Certainty
A coalition of over 200 crypto firms, including The Digital Chamber and the Crypto Council for Innovation, has issued an urgent plea to Senate leadership. They are demanding a floor vote on the CLARITY Act before the legislative window shuts ahead of the midterms.
«Digital asset markets are global, growing, and central to the future of financial infrastructure,» the coalition stated in their letter to Senate leaders.
Stalled Momentum
The bill, designed to delineate the roles of the SEC and CFTC, has faced significant friction. Banking groups are lobbying for stricter bans on stablecoin yields, while developers are fighting for protections within decentralized ecosystems.
Analysts at Galaxy Digital have adjusted their outlook, dropping the probability of passage to 60% as the August recess approaches.
