The U.S. Senate plans to push the full Senate to review the 《CLARITY Act》 on July 20.

According to The Hill, the U.S. crypto market structure bill, the “CLARITY Act,” is facing a critical window before the August congressional recess. U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune plans to push for a full Senate vote on the bill during the week of July 20, but at least seven Democratic senators are still needed. The report says the current disagreements center on ethical restrictions on government officials participating in the crypto industry, provisions on illegal finance, exemptions from liability for software developers, nominations of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) commissioners, and whether rewards for stablecoins could lead to bank deposit outflows. Trump’s recent financial disclosures show that he earned about $1.2 billion in crypto-related income last year, further intensifying Democrats’ concerns about conflicts of interest. Analysts believe that if the bill cannot make progress before the August recess, the timeframe to revive it again ahead of the midterm elections will be very limited.

$1.2 billion in revenue is right there—of course the Democrats wouldn’t be able to resist bringing up conflicts of interest.

If this software developer liability exemption deal isn’t worked out, Builders will have to move overseas.

If there’s no progress before the August recess, it will have to be delayed until after the midterm elections, and the bill’s fate remains uncertain.

The argument that stablecoin rewards lead to deposit outflows is a bit retro—once again, the bank lobbying group is pushing hard.
