Senate Crypto Bill Stalls Amid Ethics Disputes

The U.S. Senate has delayed voting on the CLARITY Act due to ongoing disputes over a provision related to crypto ethics.

The bill, aimed at dividing oversight responsibilities between the SEC and Commodity Futures Trading Commission for digital assets, was first introduced in June 2026 and is awaiting floor consideration in the Senate.

Negotiations between Republicans and Democrats have stalled, preventing lawmakers from resolving their differences on the ethics rules for federal officials.
