The U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee passed the committee section of the CLARITY Act with a 12-11 party-line vote. Key point: Not a single Democrat supported it. Compared to the SEC's tokenized securities guidance, the CLARITY Act addresses broader crypto market regulatory issues and is currently the central focus of U.S. crypto policy. Recent news about the potential U.S. government shutdown highlights intensifying partisan conflicts, further increasing the risk of whether the CLARITY Act can ultimately pass.
