Trump called on the Senate to pass the Clarity Act, a comprehensive cryptocurrency regulation bill, citing Senator Lindsey Graham's recent death. Graham's passing has narrowed the Republican Senate majority to 52-47, potentially complicating passage despite industry support from Coinbase, Circle, and Ripple, though banks and law enforcement oppose the measure.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you're building stablecoins or on-ramps, Clarity Act passage just became a nail-biter: the bill has industry backing but lost a crucial Republican vote, and banks are actively lobbying against the yield provisions you'd need to compete. Call your Senate office this week—the margin is two votes.
