Dự luật CLARITY không được đưa vào chương trình nghị sự của Thượng viện, khả năng hợp pháp hóa giảm xuống còn 16%

The Huoxing Finance report states that on August 5, cryptocurrency journalist Eleanor Terrett revealed that U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune today formally filed a motion to initiate debate on other bills, excluding the Crypto Market Structure Act (i.e., the CLARITY Act). Filing a motion to initiate debate is a key procedural step for advancing legislation in the Senate. Thune’s decision to prioritize other bills at this time underscores the persistent core disagreements within the CLARITY Act, particularly regarding the enforcement authority of the ethics provisions. The U.S. Senate is soon entering its August recess, and the legislative window for the CLARITY Act is rapidly closing. Previously, the bill had already passed through the Senate Banking Committee, but Democrats and Republicans remain deadlocked over the ethics provision prohibiting federal officials from issuing digital assets—specifically, whether the Department of Justice or state attorneys general should serve as the primary enforcement agency. Senator Alsobrooks of Maryland has clearly stated that she will not support the bill if enforcement authority is restricted solely to the Department of Justice and not retained by the states. Thune’s decision to shift legislative priority to other bills further reinforces market expectations that the CLARITY Act is unlikely to complete a full Senate vote before the recess. On the prediction market Predict.fun, the probability of the CLARITY Act being signed into law by 2026 has dropped to 16%.
