Senator Cynthia Lummis Says Clarity Act Passage Is Critical Before 2030

Senator Cynthia Lummis said Congress must move on the CLARITY Act before election-year delays stall U.S. crypto market structure legislation for years, with David Sacks, Brian Armstrong, and SEC Chair Paul Atkins also supporting clearer rules.

Fact Check
The claim is strongly supported by the fetched Cointelegraph article 'US down to 'last chance' to pass CLARITY Act before 2030: Lummis,' which directly attributes to Cynthia Lummis the statement that this is the 'last chance' to pass the CLARITY Act until at least 2030 and explains that election timing could slow momentum. The same article also reports supportive statements from David Sacks, Brian Armstrong, and SEC Chair Paul Atkins, matching the user’s summary. PANews repeats the same points and explicitly links back to Cointelegraph, while the Odaily link also traces to Cointelegraph, confirming the media-chain provenance. Confidence is only medium because I did not fetch direct original X posts from Lummis, Sacks, Armstrong, or Atkins, and corroboration attempts on X mainly surfaced reposts and summaries rather than verified primary-account posts.

Summary

Senator Cynthia Lummis urged Congress to advance the CLARITY Act, calling it the last chance to pass the crypto market structure bill before 2030. She said delays tied to the approaching U.S. midterm elections could prevent action on the legislation for nearly four years. The update adds broader political and industry backing for clearer crypto regulation, with David Sacks, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, and SEC Chair Paul Atkins also supporting clearer rules. Earlier reporting had noted that the House had approved the bill and that Senate progress could be slowed by disputes over stablecoin yield provisions and election timing.
