Lummis ramps up pressure on Democrats over crypto bill
- The Senate will hold a procedural vote on the CLARITY Act on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, requiring 60 votes to advance the digital asset market structure legislation.
- Senator Cynthia Lummis argued Thursday that Democrats have secured 114 substantive revisions to the bill, though she acknowledged disagreements over ethics and vertical integration persist.
- Democratic Senator Cory Booker is negotiating language addressing vertical integration, where one company controls multiple parts of a crypto transaction; ethics provisions regarding public officials remain unresolved.
- With Republicans holding 53 seats, supporters need backing from at least seven Democrats to clear the cloture threshold; Crypto Council for Innovation CEO Ji Hun Kim called Tuesday's vote a "pivotal moment."
- If the legislation fails, agencies like the SEC and CFTC could pursue rulemaking under existing authority, though proponents warn such actions lack the permanence of federal legislation.
