CLARITY Act News: Crypto Rules in Regulatory Limbo

In CLARITY Act news today, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act remains a bill, not a law. Although the House passed it 294-134 in July 2025, the Senate had not held a floor vote or filed a cloture motion before setting the measure aside ahead of the August recess. The Senate left Washington without voting on the crypto market-structure bill, narrowing the time available for action before the midterm elections. Senate Majority Leader John Thune said the measure would go to the floor in September. Lawmakers are due back for a brief, roughly three-week session before leaving to campaign, leaving the bill to compete with other legislative priorities.
