The legislative window for the Clarity Act is narrowing, and its passage within the year still requires coordination and advancement by Congress.

Deep Tide TechFlow News: On July 06, according to CoinDesk, the U.S. crypto market structure bill, the Clarity Act, was not signed within the previously expected timeframe. As Congress nears the summer recess, time pressure is increasing if the bill is to be completed through legislation by 2026. However, multiple people closely watching the legislative process remain cautiously optimistic that it will pass within the year, believing that key coordination work is still under way, including integrating the versions from the Senate Agriculture Committee and the Banking Committee.

The report also noted that U.S. President Trump’s latest financial disclosure involved substantial crypto-related income, further drawing Democratic lawmakers’ attention to the bill’s ethics provisions. Some Democrats are calling for the Clarity Act to include constraints that would prevent the president, vice president, senior government officials, and members of Congress from benefiting financially from the crypto industry as well as restrictions covering their families. At the same time, the House’s slower overall legislative progress and procedural obstacles could also affect the Clarity Act’s final voting and signing process.
