The CLARITY Act did not appear on the U.S. Senate’s Monday agenda, according to on-chain news tracking. The Senate plans only procedural votes on H.R. 6500. A motion to end debate requires 16 co-sponsors. If filed by August 5, the earliest possible vote would be August 7. That vote would address only ending debate on the motion to proceed, not final passage. Even if passed, the bill would still require up to 30 hours of debate and another motion to end debate. The full process may not be completed before the recess. The lack of progress underscores ongoing delays in cryptocurrency regulation.

According to ME News, on August 3 (UTC+8), the U.S. Senate’s publicly released Monday agenda showed that the CLARITY Act was not included in Monday’s scheduled proceedings. Currently, the Senate plans only to hold a procedural vote on H.R.6500, the continuing resolution. Under Senate rules, a routine motion to end debate requires at least 16 senators to sign the petition. If the Senate files a cloture petition by Wednesday, August 5, the earliest possible vote could occur on Friday, August 7. However, this vote would only determine whether to end debate on the motion to proceed—not whether to pass the CLARITY Act. If cloture is invoked, the Senate would still need to: debate the motion to proceed for up to 30 hours; formally consider the bill; and potentially face another cloture motion. Therefore, the normal legislative process is unlikely to be completed before the recess. (Source: ODAILY)
