Senate Advances Crypto Bill Despite Democratic Opposition
The US Senate has moved to advance a landmark crypto bill that would create a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies, paving the way for a potential vote on the bill in mid-September.
The Clarity Act aims to provide legal clarity for the industry and could potentially boost the adoption of cryptocurrencies. The legislation would define when digital tokens are securities or commodities and which regulators oversee them.
The crypto industry has spent over $119 million backing pro-crypto candidates in the 2024 election, hoping to advance the Clarity Act and a stablecoin law signed by President Trump last year.
