Digital Asset Market Structure Bill Enters a Narrow Senate Stretch Digital asset legislation has entered a critical Senate phase as crypto advocates press lawmakers to advance the CLARITY Act before August. The bill’s path remains uncertain, but supporters point to bipartisan engagement, ongoing negotiations, and a narrowing legislative calendar. Kristin Smith, president of the Solana Policy Institute and former Blockchain Association CEO, said Wednesday on X that she has heard concerns from crypto community members about the bill’s progress.

She described discussions among Senate Democrats, Senate Republicans, the White House, the crypto industry, and other stakeholders as serious and ongoing. Smith wrote: “Legislation is never guaranteed, but I strongly believe there is a path to get the Clarity Act to the President’s desk.” The Senate Banking Committee advanced the CLARITY Act by a 15-9 vote, and the measure now appears on the Senate Legislative Calendar as Calendar No.

423. Before reaching the president, the bill must secure 60 Senate votes, reconcile differences with the Senate Agriculture Committee, and clear negotiations over ethics and anti-money laundering provisions. Bipartisan support includes Senators Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), Bernie Moreno (R-OH), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), and Angela Alsobrooks (D-MD), Smith noted.

She portrayed those lawmakers and others as champions seeking bipartisan agreement on digital asset legislation. Crypto Advocates Point to Organized Support and Senate Calendar Industry advocates have become more organized and more sophisticated than in earlier crypto policy fights, Smith argued. She described a coordinated Washington presence, with supporters joining meetings, working together, and participating directly in negotiations over the bill.

Political conditions also remain favorable for the legislation, Smith asserted. She cited crypto voters, active advocates, and a political operation supporting congressional champions, while adding that Washington’s understanding of crypto has matured alongside the industry. Smith added: “We have 4 critical weeks from July 13 to August 7 to get this through the Senate.

That is enough time to put Clarity on the agenda – and move it forward.” The Senate is expected to have a four-week window between July 13 and Aug. 7 to consider the measure before the August recess.

Supporters view that period as the best opportunity to move the CLARITY Act toward a floor vote. 70,000 US Law Enforcement Professionals Call for Changes to CLARITY ActMore than 70,000 U.S.
