The U.S. Senate is preparing for a cloture vote on the CLARITY Act, which aims to establish clear federal regulatory jurisdiction between the SEC and CFTC over digital assets, requiring a 60-vote threshold to proceed. The vote is complicated by a contentious ethics provision related to crypto holdings by government officials, as well as unsettled stablecoin regulations, making bipartisan support uncertain.
