Due to border security disagreements, the CLARITY Act has been postponed to early June for Senate discussion; priorities such as funding, housing, farm bills, and FISA expiration are piling up, and prospects for passing before the August recess are uncertain. Senate staff are consolidating the texts from the Agriculture and Banking Committees, and drafting technical details during the recess, with final approval requiring the defection of 7 Democratic senators.

Mars Finance reported that on May 23, crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett disclosed that the U.S. Senate this week failed to reach an agreement over border security differences, causing the Cryptocurrency Market Structure Act (the CLARITY Act) to be postponed until early June so it can be scheduled for discussion in the Senate. With a backlog of multiple priorities—including funding, housing, farm bills, and the expiration of the FISA—there is uncertainty about whether the bill can pass when it enters the Senate full session in July and before the August recess. At present, Senate staff are continuing to merge the texts from the Agriculture Committee and the Banking Committee, and are advancing technical drafting during the recess.

Passed for review before the August recess — I heard this sentence last year.

Before the recess, so many bills were piled up; the Senate's time management is more chaotic than my gas fees.

7 Democratic votes, this is even harder to predict than DeFi slippage.

Technical drafting is done during the recess, and this efficiency is about the same as the speed I confirm on the chain.

FISA expiration and CLARITY clash, intelligence agencies now estimate they are more anxious than traders.

Border security and encryption regulation are intertwined, a typical case of political bundling.
