On July 24, U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune said the CLARITY Act may not pass before the summer recess, though the chamber aims to begin debate before the break. The industry had anticipated a vote by August 7. A delay until fall would reduce the likelihood of the bill passing by 2026. White House advisor Patrick Witt said action could still occur in early August, but a July vote is unlikely. On-chain data shows mixed sentiment among altcoins to watch as uncertainty grows.

ChainThink reports that on July 24, according to CoinDesk, U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune stated that the CLARITY Act may not be fully passed before the summer recess, but he hopes to at least initiate full chamber consideration before the recess.

The industry previously viewed August 7 as a critical window for the bill's passage this year. If deliberation is delayed until autumn, the likelihood of completing legislation by 2026 will decrease.

White House crypto advisor Patrick Witt said the Senate could still take action in the first week of August, but the likelihood of the bill receiving a final vote in July is low.
