Thune Still Plans Clarity Act Cloture: What a Weekend Surprise Could Mean for Bitcoin
Senate Majority Leader John Thune reportedly still plans to file Clarity Act cloture before lawmakers leave for the August recess, Eleanor Terrett reports. The move would lock in a September vote on the crypto bill.
The Clarity Act, formally the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, would set clear rules for how the US regulates digital assets. It needs 60 Senate votes, and those votes are not there yet.
Why the Clarity Act Cloture Filing Matters
Cloture is a procedural step that starts the countdown to a floor vote. Filing it now would queue the bill for action soon after the Senate returns on September 11.
Thune's office delivered the message to crypto industry leaders on Friday, according to Eleanor Terrett, host of Crypto America podcast. Industry figures read it as a sign the bill sits at the top of the September agenda.
