Thượng viện Hoa Kỳ hoãn bỏ phiếu về Đạo luật CLARITY, dự luật có thể đối mặt với thách thức trong cuộc bầu cử giữa nhiệm kỳ

The Huoxing Finance report states that on August 8, the U.S. Senate postponed the vote on the cryptocurrency regulatory bill, the CLARITY Act, until after its five-week summer recess, increasing the likelihood that Congress will be unable to complete cryptocurrency market legislation in the short term. The CLARITY Act previously received bipartisan support in the House of Representatives and aims to establish a federal regulatory framework for digital assets, clarify regulatory responsibilities for crypto assets, and promote the integration of digital assets into the U.S. financial system. Republican Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina stated that due to the delay until September for voting, the bill’s chances of passage “may have decreased by 50%.” Senator Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, who is leading negotiations, criticized that discussions have already lasted nearly 11 months, the bill has grown by approximately 300 pages, and numerous amendment requests from Democrats have been addressed; it is now time to proceed to a vote. Currently, Democrats still oppose the bill, with core disagreements centered on provisions limiting government officials’ interests in crypto assets. Democrats argue that the current version does not sufficiently restrict federal officials from investing in or promoting crypto assets, nor does it require相关人员 to fully divest their holdings, while also seeking to grant state attorneys general stronger enforcement powers. Some Democratic and Republican lawmakers previously supported pushing for stricter ethical regulatory provisions, but negotiations with the White House are ongoing. Democrats are particularly focused on potential conflicts of interest involving Trump and his family with crypto projects such as World Liberty Financial. The crypto industry had hoped the Senate would at least advance procedural votes before the summer recess to allow adjustments to political spending for the 2026 midterm elections based on legislative progress. Data shows that Fairshake, the primary political action committee for the crypto industry, began this cycle with nearly $2 billion in cash reserves.
