US Senate to consider CLARITY Act next week, needs support from at least 7 Democratic senators
Odaily reports, The CLARITY Act, which aims to provide a regulatory framework for the digital asset industry, is facing a critical legislative window. Bipartisan negotiations in the US have yet to reach an agreement on key issues such as government ethics rules and illicit finance. If the bill fails to advance before the August recess, there will be almost no time window before the midterm elections, potentially sending the legislative process back to square one. Currently, the Republican leadership aims to push for full Senate consideration during the week of July 20, but needs support from at least 7 Democratic senators to pass.
