Senate Delays CLARITY Act Vote to Focus on Russia Sanctions, Impacting Crypto Regulation
The U.S. Senate has postponed the vote on the CLARITY Act, a significant piece of legislation for the cryptocurrency industry, to prioritize a bill on Russia sanctions. The CLARITY Act, which aims to transfer oversight of most tokens from the SEC to the CFTC, has garnered support from major financial institutions such as BlackRock, Fidelity, and Goldman Sachs. Despite this backing, the bill faces challenges in securing enough votes, particularly with the absence of key senators like Mitch McConnell. The delay comes as the Senate approaches its recess on August 8, leaving the future of the bill uncertain.
