Lummis Pushes for CLARITY Act Vote Before August Recess

TechFlow news, August 6, according to Cointelegraph reports, Senator Cynthia Lummis stated that the Senate will vote on the "Digital Asset Market Clarity Act" (CLARITY Act) before the August recess. The bill was passed in the House of Representatives in July 2025 with 294 votes to 134, but the Senate still needs 60 votes to end the filibuster and advance the legislation.

Currently, the bill faces opposition from Democrats requesting strengthened ethics provisions, as well as reservations from Republican Senator Josh Hawley regarding bank-related concerns. If the vote is not completed before this weekend, deliberations will be postponed until after the session resumes in mid-September, possibly extending into the 2026 midterm election cycle.
