A must-read on the Senate math behind the Clarity Act without the hype. I reported this morning that Senate leadership has discussed potentially keeping members in Washington beyond the scheduled recess if they have the votes to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed. But I’m told it’s all very much in flux, especially with growing demands from certain senators to cancel recess for votes on the SAVE America Act and the Russia/Iran sanctions bill.
Realities of CLARITY Act expectations and Senate Rules and Math: Senate floor time is the most valuable commodity in Washington. The Senate is scheduled to leave August 7 — leaving roughly two weeks. Under Senate Rule XXII, once cloture is invoked on a major bill, that measure
The largest asset manager in the world just endorsed the Clarity Act, and you’re blackpilling? @BlackRock
🚨THE BIGGEST NAMES IN FINANCE ARE BACKING THE CLARITY ACT BlackRock, Charles Schwab, Fidelity, Goldman Sachs, and Grayscale, the financial institutions managing over $30 TRILLION in combined assets, have all backed the bill ahead of the August recess.
UPDATE: A new CLARITY Act draft has been released, merging the Senate Banking and Agriculture Committee versions and adding an ethics provision for the first time. A motion to proceed is expected Monday or Tuesday, with a possible floor vote the week of August 3.
The 3 leading U.S. digital asset trade groups — @BlockchainAssn, @crypto_council, and @DigitalChamber — express strong support for Senate floor consideration of the Clarity Act. The time is now for Clarity. theblockchainassociation.org/api/media/file…
🚨 NEWS: The National Cryptocurrency Association has submitted formal testimony to the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Digital Assets, regarding the Clarity Act and putting data of 67 million American crypto holders on the congressional record. NCA VP of External Affairs @OnChainAli put it plainly: Americans are not asking Washington to stop crypto. They are asking for guardrails so they can use it safely. 73% of Americans support stronger consumer protections for crypto holders. With 71% supporting comprehensive legislation to close the gaps in current law.
NEW: Fidelity is urging the Senate to pass the CLARITY Act, saying clear rules for digital assets are needed to strengthen investor confidence, provide regulatory certainty, and reinforce U.S. leadership in crypto markets.
🚨NEWS: The National Fraternal Order of Police, one of the key law enforcement groups involved in negotiations over the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act, is now backing the latest version of the Clarity Act, saying revised BRCA language addresses its previous concerns and preserves law enforcement’s ability to investigate crypto crimes. The BRCA remained unchanged in the latest version of the bill released Wednesday, so it’s unclear what changes the group is referencing.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune is planning a vote on Trump’s landmark crypto market structure legislation as soon as next week bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
🚨Read the full 616 page bill text here: lummis.senate.gov/wp-content/upl…
Years of work went into this text. It shows. Robust consumer protections. Tools for law enforcement. Certainty for developers. Substantive ethics requirements. This is a strong bill that secures American leadership in digital assets. Let's get this to the President's desk. 🇺🇸
1/ The updated Clarity Act text is here, reflecting a tremendous amount of work to get the details right. It creates new consumer protections, new tools for law enforcement, and most critically, it protects software developers, filling the gaps that exist in law today.
For the past year, I have worked diligently to get the Clarity Act passed, fulfilling President Trump’s vision to make the U.S. the crypto capital of the world. Last week, it was reported that I was set to leave for mandatory training as part of my service in the Georgia Army National Guard, right before Clarity hits the Senate floor. While I remain committed to fulfilling my service obligation, I am grateful to report that my training has been deferred, and that I will be able to see this effort through to the end. Thanks to @POTUS and @DavidSacks for the opportunity to continue this important work and to everyone who reached out last week. Let’s finish the job. 🇺🇸
CLARITY UPDATE: The White House has reportedly agreed on an ethics package. We're on track to more than 10K messages to Congress. Your voice is making a difference. Speak up. The time is now. Connect to Congress here: crypto-law.us/connect-to-con…
🚨NEWS: I’m hearing from multiple industry sources that the White House has agreed on an ethics package for the Clarity Act and sent the language to certain Senate Republicans this afternoon. It’s still unclear what the details of the agreement are (I’ve reached out for
Tune into the @FinancialCmte field hearing on the Clarity Act here👇 financialservices.house.gov/calendar/event…
🇺🇸 INSIGHT: Ripple Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty says voting against the CLARITY Act would leave the current unregulated environment open to exploitation by bad actors.
My latest from @Forbes: The CLARITY Act Delay Is Now A Compliance Problem, Not Just A Political One The CLARITY Act's Senate window is closing, but the real deadline belongs to compliance teams. What GCs, CCOs and boards should do before August, pass or fail. #clarityact #GRC #digitalassets forbes.com/sites/tonyaeva…
Voting no on the Clarity Act isn't being against the crypto industry - it’s anti-consumer. It's a vote to leave crypto holders exposed to bad actors playing regulatory arbitrage. The bipartisan Clarity Act is now advancing towards a vote on the Senate floor, and it is a vote for consumer protection. More ⬇️
UPDATE: President Donald Trump is now expected to sit down with U.S. senators on Thursday.
SCOOP: Senior White House officials are expected to meet with senators Thursday to try to resolve the Clarity Act's ethics provisions, the biggest remaining hurdle for the crypto bill. Read the full story by @jesseahamilton on Coindesk.
🚨🧵NEW: Pulse check on the Clarity Act after a flurry of developments over the past 24 hours. Here’s the latest: Industry sources tell me updated Clarity Act text could drop soon, though they’re also preparing for it to slip to later this week as ethics negotiations continue.
Asked and answered. Give it a rest.
