All Democrats and independents present voted against it, and 4 Republican senators (Susan Collins, Josh Hawley, Jerry Moran, Thom Tillis) also voted against it; Democratic Senator Chris Coons did not vote. It is reported that some senators proposed a motion to reconsider, preserving the possibility of revisiting the matter later.

Clarity Act Fails to Pass U.S. Senate, Jake Chervinsky Says Better No Bill Than a Bad Bill

Odaily News: Jake Chervinsky posted on X that the U.S. Senate did not pass the crypto regulatory bill Clarity Act, but proponents did not compromise on principles during 18 months of research, negotiation, and revision, insisting that it is better to have no bill than a bad bill. He stated that due to political maneuvering in an election year, a good deal was difficult to reach, but the crypto industry can still function without the Clarity Act, and the U.S. SEC and CFTC possess the authority and expertise needed to regulate the crypto market.

Lummis: Democrats "chose politics over the American people," ceding U.S. crypto leadership to overseas competitors

Odaily reports: U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis, one of the main drafters of the CLARITY Act, issued a statement after the bill failed to advance, accusing Senate Democrats of "never truly being serious about protecting consumers and preserving American leadership."

Lummis said that over the past year she had been negotiating with Democratic lawmakers, but after Republicans met their demands, Democrats kept raising new ones and "constantly moving the goalposts." She said Democrats voted that day against restricting political figures' personal crypto investments, and also against protecting consumers from the scams and fraud the bill was intended to target.

Lummis further accused Democrats of "choosing politics over the American people," arguing that the move cedes America's leadership in digital assets to overseas competitors and could push some crypto businesses to relocate abroad. She also leveled a series of criticisms at Democrats, including being "anti-consumer, pro-illegal finance, and anti-business freedom."

CLARITY Act Fails to Advance in Senate, Brian Armstrong Says SEC and CFTC Will Proceed to Establish Clear Rules

Odaily Report: Brian Armstrong posted on X platform that the CLARITY Act failed to advance in the Senate today, which is disappointing. Bipartisan dialogue may continue, and the bill could be reintroduced in the future, but we can no longer wait for Congress. The SEC and CFTC can establish clear rules under existing authority, and he expects both agencies to begin seriously advancing this work, so regardless, cryptocurrency regulatory clarity will come.

Brian Armstrong stated that the GENIUS Act has become the current law in the stablecoin space, with more lenient provisions on rewards. He said that relevant teams made some unacceptable concessions in the CLARITY Act, so the bill's failure to advance may be the best outcome. Cryptocurrency cannot be eliminated, and as regulators gradually clarify the rules, relevant parties will continue to push for updates to the financial system.

Senator Elizabeth Warren: Supports crypto legislation, but the current Clarity Act is not enough

Odaily News: U.S. Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren stated that she still hopes to push a crypto regulatory bill into law, but does not support the current version of the Clarity Act.

Warren said the Clarity Act is Washington's first opportunity to achieve "meaningful crypto regulation," but any bill must include several core elements: regulating public officials' crypto investments, protecting national security and consumers, and strengthening the fight against illicit finance and terrorist financing.

Her stance could become more critical next year. If Democrats regain control of the Senate after the November election, Warren could become chair of the Senate Banking Committee, one of the key bodies for digital asset regulatory legislation. The article notes that Kalshi prediction markets currently show a 52% probability of Democrats retaking the Senate.

When asked whether she would lead crypto legislation if she headed the Banking Committee, Warren said she would be willing. She said she is willing to sit down with Democrats, Republicans, and the industry to craft a crypto bill that protects national security, protects the economy, and reduces corruption.
