According to Tim Warren Trades, the bill would need seven Democratic or independent senators to join support in order to overcome a filibuster in the U.S. Senate.
The CLARITY Act would need 60 votes in the U.S. Senate to avoid a filibuster, according to Tim Warren Trades. That means seven Democrats or independents would be needed if all other votes are aligned. The post identifies Senators Ruben Gallego, Angela Alsobrooks, Mark Warner, and Catherine Cortez Masto as frequently cited swing votes. In U.S. lawmaking, the 60-vote threshold is a key procedural hurdle for controversial legislation, making cross-party backing important for bills affecting the digital asset industry.
