Lummis urges Democratic support for revised CLARITY Act ahead of Senate vote

  • Sen. Cynthia Lummis, Patrick Witt and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent urged bipartisan support for the revised CLARITY Act ahead of the September 15 Senate procedural vote.
  • The approximately 630-page draft includes at least 114 Democratic-proposed provisions and requires 60 votes to advance.
  • The House passed the bill 294-134 in July 2025, including 78 Democratic votes, but no Senate coalition has been publicly confirmed.

Sen. Cynthia Lummis is urging Senate Democrats to support the revised CLARITY Act before the September 15 procedural vote, while White House official Patrick Witt and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent have also called for bipartisan backing. The approximately 630-page draft incorporates at least 114 Democratic-proposed provisions, although accounts describe the figure as either 114 or more than 114, and no Democratic senator has publicly confirmed support for the bill. Senate advancement requires 60 votes. The legislation would clarify oversight between the SEC and CFTC, establish registration systems for digital-asset intermediaries, and impose disclosure, customer-asset segregation and conflict-of-interest safeguards. Its prospects remain uncertain amid Democratic concerns about illicit finance, consumer protection, securities-law loopholes, financial stability and presidential cryptocurrency conflicts.
