Lummis Pushes for CLARITY Vote as Senate Deadline Looms

Senator Cynthia Lummis is still pushing for a vote on the Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act before the Senate's month-long August recess. The Wyoming lawmaker has been one of the biggest proponents for the crypto bill, which has split many members of Congress and industry leaders over different provisions on ethics, stablecoins, and tokenized equities.

The CLARITY Act, which passed in the House of Representatives with a 294-to-134 vote in July 2025, faces opposition from Democrats looking for stronger ethics provisions affecting US President Donald Trump's investments. The president has been under additional scrutiny since he disclosed he earned more than $1.4 billion from investments tied to digital assets in 2025.

Lummis said she anticipated that the Senate would vote on the CLARITY Act before the chamber breaks for its August recess, stating 'It's just time to get people on the record.'

The bill needs 60 votes in the Senate to invoke cloture and end a filibuster. However, Senate Majority Leader John Thune is reportedly still planning to schedule a vote before Saturday.
