Odaily News: Fox Business crypto reporter posted on X platform, stating that procedural matters related to the ongoing continuing resolution may explain why Senate Majority Leader John Thune did not file a cloture motion tonight to advance the Clarity Act, though insufficient votes and major unresolved issues could also be factors.
Once procedural matters related to the continuing resolution are resolved, expectations are rising that Thune could file the cloture motion as early as tomorrow. If he submits the motion, a potential Clarity Act vote would be scheduled 30 hours later.
The bill still has unresolved issues, including the lack of a bipartisan ethics agreement, the White House's failure to take a stance, and ongoing disagreements surrounding BRCA. However, the reporter has heard from multiple sources that some now want lawmakers to officially take a position, even if the bill does not pass.
