Stand With Crypto, an American cryptocurrency community advocacy organization, announced on X on July 27 that senators' votes on the CLARITY Act bill will be recorded in its public ratings on behalf of 3 million American crypto supporters.
The organization stated that each senator's vote will become part of its public legislator ratings, which cryptocurrency owners can use to compare candidates ahead of the November elections. It also urged lawmakers to vote 'yes' on this bill.
"Cryptocurrency-owning voters across the country are watching to see which legislators stand with them at this critical moment."
The updated ratings will record whether each senator supported advancing the bill; the vote on the CLARITY Act will be added to Stand With Crypto's existing ratings based on lawmakers' actions and public stances on cryptocurrency. The CLARITY Act vote will be one of the most prominent positions in these ratings ahead of the November midterm elections.
The organization has expanded its midterm-focused campaign, placing its scoring system at the center of efforts to transform cryptocurrency policy positions into voter-focused political achievements.
Public Scorecards Put Senators' Votes in the Spotlight
With less than 100 days until the midterm elections, Stand With Crypto's report on pre-midterm voter sentiment showed that nearly eight in ten cryptocurrency owners believe they will almost certainly vote.
Nearly 70% indicated that a candidate's stance on cryptocurrency would influence their choice, while 73% were closely following the digital asset policies legislators supported. Another 59% identified themselves as voters who do not consistently support one party, potentially giving cryptocurrency policy greater significance in tight congressional election races.
These findings reinforce the potential impact of the scorecards, especially in competitive races where politically unaffiliated cryptocurrency owners can compare candidates using their recorded positions on the CLARITY Act.
The campaign is taking place during the two-week legislative window before the August recess, with ethics provisions regarding public officials remaining a central issue in negotiations between lawmakers. Several Democratic lawmakers are pushing for stricter ethics measures and consumer protections, complicating vote counting as supporters need to secure the 60 senator votes typically required to advance a bill.
Galaxy Research lowered its assessment of the likelihood of the CLARITY Act passing in 2026 to 30%, as the Senate vote faces challenges related to timing, bipartisan support, and unresolved provisions.
Next Stage: Senate Floor
On May 14, the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs approved the revised market structure bill with a vote of 15 to 9, sending it to the full Senate for consideration. This bipartisan committee vote reflected the outcomes of negotiations on federal oversight, investor protection, enforcement authority, and operational requirements for digital asset companies. The bill now awaits a full Senate vote.
Under the proposed framework, federal regulators would receive clearly defined authority over various digital assets, and exchanges and intermediaries would be required to comply with registration, disclosure, and customer protection requirements.
For senators, the upcoming vote carries two significant implications: it will determine whether the bill moves forward, and it will establish a result that Stand With Crypto will present to millions of supporters.
