US Senate will vote on CLARITY crypto bill ‘without any question’ this week: Tim Scott

Senator Tim Scott, chair of the Senate Banking Committee, stated the Senate will vote on the Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act this week before an August recess. In a Fox Business interview, Scott emphasized there is still time for Majority Leader John Thune to schedule a cloture vote. His comments align with Senator Cynthia Lummis's recent push for a pre-recess vote. To pass, the bill requires support from 60 senators. Key unresolved issues include Democratic concerns over former President Trump's crypto investments and banking industry calls for provisions on stablecoin licensing and restrictions. Lawmakers are negotiating potential adjustments to address these points before the deadline.

U.S. Senate Could Vote on Cryptocurrency Transparency Bill Next Week

The U.S. Senate may vote next week on the Cryptocurrency Transparency Act, as announced by SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce. The bill, which has already passed the House of Representatives and cleared the Senate Banking Committee, requires 60 votes to pass the full Senate. This legislation aims to clarify regulatory jurisdiction over digital assets between the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), particularly regarding asset classification. However, its progress has been stalled by unresolved issues, including stablecoin yield rules and ethics provisions. While Peirce's statement has increased market expectations of the bill's passage, it remains speculative without high-level confirmation. Market estimates currently assign only a 16.5% probability of enactment in 2026. Key factors influencing the outcome include the Senate vote, potential presidential support, and statements from figures like Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. If passed, the law could trigger significant changes in cryptocurrency markets.

Opinion: Crypto Industry Will Survive Failure of CLARITY Act in Senate

Bitwise Investment Director Matt Hogan stated that the cryptocurrency industry will continue to develop even if the CLARITY Act fails in the US Senate. The Senate's summer session ends on August 10, with a key procedural vote deadline for the bill on August 5. While Republican leadership aims for a vote before recess, Democratic opposition remains a major hurdle, with Polymarket's odds of the bill becoming law this year dropping to 15% from 82% in February. Hogan believes a failed vote this week would leave the bill in limbo, potentially pushing final consideration to a "lame duck" session later in the year. He argues prolonged regulatory uncertainty is keeping some institutional investors away, but a drop in the bill's passage odds could clear the way for market growth. As an alternative, Hogan cited SEC Chairman Paul Atkins's readiness to issue crypto-friendly rules, which might be more favorable in the short term than a bipartisan Congressional bill, though future leadership could change this. He contends the industry's progress is now irreversible, citing the success of Bitcoin ETFs, tokenization efforts by major firms, new stablecoin platforms, and crypto-native projects from companies like Robinhood. Hogan drew a parallel to the 1990s telecom reform, where market innovation surged ahead of legislation. He concluded that while the CLARITY Act has flaws, Congress should pass it soon for the industry's benefit, but the crypto sector will advance regardless.

Senator Toomey Announces CLARITY Act Vote to Take Place This Week

Senator Toomey announced that a vote on the CLARITY Act (Digital Asset Market Clarity Act) will occur this week. This follows his shifting stance; after initially stating in late July that the bill lacked sufficient votes and likely wouldn't be addressed before the summer recess, he later committed to keeping the Senate in session to pass it. Time is critical, with only a few legislative days remaining before the August 7th break. The bill faces a significant hurdle, requiring 60 Senate votes for normal passage. Republicans hold 53 seats, necessitating support from at least seven Democrats. While a tentative bipartisan agreement on ethics provisions has been reached and reportedly endorsed by former President Trump, some Democrats express concerns about potential loopholes. Various probability assessments for passage range from 26% to 37%. Over 1,200 tech companies and traditional finance giants like Grayscale and Charles Schwab are urging swift action, calling the bill a crucial catalyst for institutional cryptocurrency adoption. However, a coalition of 134 banking executives has requested specific changes, highlighting complex, multi-stakeholder negotiations. If passed, the CLARITY Act would be the first comprehensive federal law establishing a market structure for digital assets, dividing regulatory oversight between the SEC and CFTC based on token classification.

NKTsBFR Disclosed Details of the Cryptocurrency Bill Preparation

The head of Ukraine's National Securities and Stock Market Commission (NКЦБФР), Alexey Semenyuk, disclosed that the draft law on virtual assets is approximately 90% complete, with the final text expected in August. However, the bill's parliamentary passage will follow later. Key agreed-upon provisions include establishing the NКЦБФР as the primary regulator, with a clearly defined role for the National Bank, and classifying virtual assets in line with the EU's MiCA regulation. Licensing rules for service providers, prudential requirements, and a special regime for wartime operations are also settled. Major unresolved issues remain, notably the taxation framework for cryptocurrency transactions and the legal status of virtual assets in criminal and enforcement proceedings. Semenyuk noted these areas, outside the commission's direct competence, are progressing the slowest. Consultations on the post-enactment transition period are ongoing. Work on the legislation has spanned several years. The bill passed its first reading in September 2025 but faced significant delays due to thousands of proposed amendments. Officials anticipate the finalized law could take effect from January 1, 2027.

Senator Schumer proposes agency to address corruption, including Trump’s crypto ventures

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer introduced the Anti-Corruption Bureau Creation Act, a bill to establish a new federal agency with enforcement powers to investigate and prevent executive branch corruption. The legislation specifically cites President Donald Trump's substantial financial gains from cryptocurrency ventures, detailing over $2 billion in disclosed 2025 earnings, with $1.4 billion tied to crypto. The proposed bipartisan bureau would consolidate existing watchdogs like the Federal Election Commission. This move comes as Trump's crypto ties complicate Democratic support for the separate Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act, with ethics concerns persisting. The anti-corruption bill requires Republican support to pass and could face a presidential veto. Meanwhile, the fate of the crypto market structure bill remains uncertain as the Senate session nears its end.

US Senate Makes Important Amendments to "Conflict of Interest" Section of Cryptocurrency Bill

The U.S. Senate has taken a key step regarding the CLARITY Act, which could shape the future of the U.S. crypto market. On July 29, Senators Tom Tillis and Ruben Gallego finalized amendments to the bill's "conflict of interest" rules, one of its most contentious aspects. The bipartisan bill aims to tighten restrictions on high-level federal officials' ties to digital assets. The new text, crafted as an alternative to a White House-endorsed ethics code, is expected to impose stricter rules limiting officials' ability to issue or directly participate in digital asset projects. However, with Congress entering an August recess and the revised text not yet reviewed by much of the Senate, the bill's timeline is uncertain. Senate Majority Leader John Thune indicated a procedural vote could occur between July 29 and August 1 but expressed doubt the full bill could pass before the break. The House-approved CLARITY Act, passed in July 2025, has been under Senate negotiation for over a year. Key goals of the CLARITY Act include clarifying jurisdictional boundaries between the SEC and CFTC, setting rules for digital commodity spot markets, and addressing topics like stablecoin yields, DeFi, and illicit financing. The stablecoin yield provisions could significantly impact U.S.-based DeFi protocols, exchanges, and issuers, affecting their global competitiveness. The outcome is being closely watched by both the U.S. and global digital asset markets.

South Korea plans stablecoin rules as opposition pushes crypto tax repeal

South Korea's Financial Services Commission plans to draft a consolidated Digital Asset Basic Act with the ruling Democratic Party, aiming to provide a central legislative framework for stablecoins and the broader cryptocurrency market. The proposed bill would cover stablecoin issuance, business rules, exchange requirements, and other key areas, seeking to resolve ongoing parliamentary disagreements over multiple pending digital asset bills. Key disputes remain, including whether won-denominated stablecoin issuers should be bank-owned. Separately, an opposition bill seeks to repeal South Korea's planned crypto income tax before its scheduled implementation on January 1, 2027. The tax would impose a 22% levy on annual crypto gains exceeding 2.5 million won (approx. $1,700). While the government supports the tax, the opposition argues it is unfair as most ordinary stock investors are exempt. The repeal bill is now under committee review.

The 'Clarity Act', a pro-crypto bill, has flaws: Action is needed today

The likelihood that the U.S. Senate will vote on the CLARITY Act, a bill aiming to establish a regulatory framework for the cryptocurrency market, before the August summer recess appears low. Crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett reported that expectations are diminishing for Senate Majority Leader John Thune to file cloture to end debate and initiate a voting process this week. According to Senate procedures, Thune needed to file the motion to proceed on the bill today for a potential Thursday vote. However, sources close to the process indicate priority is expected to be given to legislation involving sanctions against Russia and Iran. Consequently, the crypto sector's focus has shifted to next week. Industry representatives argue that even if a final vote on the CLARITY Act does not occur before the holiday break, it is crucial for the Senate leadership to at least begin the cloture process prior to the August recess. Failing to initiate this process before the break could delay the bill's consideration until the fall legislative session, further postponing comprehensive cryptocurrency market regulation in the United States.

New York Attorney General Opposes CLARITY Act and Calls for Its Review

New York Attorney General Letitia James opposes the CLARITY Act, warning it would limit state law enforcement's ability to combat crypto fraud. She cites a tripling of crypto-related complaints and $500 million in losses in New York over five years. James argues the Act undermines local authority to pursue bad actors and calls on Congress to enact stricter regulations instead. Her proposed framework includes enforcing AML and user verification rules, banning access for foreign companies, prohibiting conversion to dollars for untraceable assets, and requiring platforms to monitor and report suspicious activity. She emphasizes that state and local agencies handle most law enforcement and that the Act would weaken investor protections. The bill is currently in the Senate, with consideration delayed due to other priorities.
