Senate Majority Leader John Thune reportedly said the chamber will consider a vote on the crypto market structure bill before Aug. 10, though it’s unclear whether it has enough Democratic support to pass.
The US Senate is expected to vote soon on a comprehensive bill to establish market structure rules for digital assets, backed by Republican lawmakers, while some Democrats continue to push for ethics provisions.
In a Tuesday press conference, Senators Chris Murphy, Jeff Merkley, and Chris Van Hollen spoke alongside representatives for Americans for Financial Reform and Indivisible and Hollywood actor Ben McKenzie in opposition to the Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act. The lawmakers said that the bill did not address what they called “[Donald] Trump’s crypto corruption,” referring to the US President’s ties to the industry through his memecoin, his family’s World Liberty Financial company and other businesses and investments.
“There is no reason to pass a new regulatory system for crypto if this system does not stop Trump’s corruption of the entire industry,” said Murphy. “This bill is worthless if it protects Trump’s dominance over an industry that he will have more control to regulate. In fact, the bill is in and of itself a fundamental corruption if it gives Trump’s corruption the protection of law.”

The CLARITY Act has been under discussion in the US Senate since being passed by the House of Representatives almost a year ago this week as part of the Republicans’ “Crypto Week” agenda, in which the GENIUS stablecoin bill was also signed into law. The bill needs to meet a 60-vote threshold to pass the Senate and return to the House, meaning that some Democrats will need to support the legislation with Republicans’ slim majority in the chamber.

🦊 小靓解读
CLARITY法案投票临近，但三位民主党参议员以“未解决特朗普加密腐败问题”为由反对，显示两党分歧可能阻碍法案通过。该法案若推迟或失败，短期将冲击市场对监管清晰的预期。
📊 市场影响
若法案未获足够民主党支持而搁浅，比特币和主流山寨币可能面临2-5%的短线回调，但监管不确定性对长期机构入场构成利空。反之，若通过，将提振合规交易所和DeFi代币。
💡 操作建议
建议减仓高杠杆多头，等待投票结果明朗。可关注法案进展，若通过可逢低布局ETH、SOL等合规性强的币种，但需设置3%止损控制风险。
