The Senate failed to advance the CLARITY Act after four Republicans joined Democrats in blocking a procedural vote, intensifying partisan disputes over the proposed crypto framework. The final text incorporated 126 changes requested by Democrats, including expanded ethics provisions. Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) accused Democrats of repeatedly moving their demands, while Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) and Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) said the bill did not sufficiently prevent federal officials from profiting from crypto ventures. Sen. Thom Tillis (R-SC) changed his vote from yes to no, preserving the possibility of reconsideration, and said negotiations could continue. Lawmakers may seek another procedural vote, but disagreements over ethics, money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctioned countries and regulatory resources remain unresolved.
