The U.S. Senate Banking Committee voted 15-9 to pass the CLARITY Act (Legislation on the Structure of the Digital Asset Market), advancing the bill to a full Senate vote. During the vote, Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) expressed support for moving the bill out of committee but emphasized that "agreement" in committee does not equal final support for the vote. Committee Chair Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) announced a bipartisan compromise and joined five amendments proposed by Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), which were ultimately adopted. In the final committee vote to advance, only Gallego and Sen. Angela Alsobrooks (D-MD) voted in favor, with the two Democratic senators stressing that they have not yet guaranteed support for the full chamber vote. Next, the Senate Banking Committee version needs to be reconciled and integrated with the version previously passed by the Agriculture Committee. Majority leader Sen. John Thune (R-SD) scheduled a debate in the full Senate, expected to take about a week. If the timeline proceeds as planned, the CLARITY Act is expected to complete Senate-House reconciliation and be sent to President Trump for signature before August. This committee vote indicates that the CLARITY bill still has bipartisan support potential.
