The CLARITY Act failed a U.S. Senate procedural vote on September 15, blocking its progress to full Senate consideration. Sen. Cynthia Lummis, a Wyoming Republican, said Democrats opposed advancing the measure even though it contains a provision making cryptocurrency issuers legally liable for false disclosures. Democrats cited what they considered insufficient ethics rules to prevent conflicts of interest connected to President Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency-related interests. Cointelegraph reported Lummis’s comments on September 21.
