Compromise text is expected over the July 4 weekend as Lummis casts the bill as an opening step rather than the end of U.S. crypto market-structure efforts.
Sen. Cynthia Lummis is pushing for a Senate vote on the CLARITY Act in July 2026, with compromise text expected over the July 4 weekend. Lummis framed the legislation as an early step in a broader U.S. crypto policy effort, saying, "The Clarity Act is not the finish line. It is the starting gun." The push signals continued work on crypto market-structure legislation, which aims to set clearer rules for how digital assets are regulated and traded.
