White House crypto policy advisor Patrick Witt believes: The 'Clear Act' could potentially pass before July 4. 'We are doing a lot of work behind the scenes.' However, 60 votes are needed to pass. Currently, Republicans hold 53 seats in the Senate (Democrats + Independents hold 47 seats). The bill has already passed the Senate Banking Committee with a bipartisan vote of 15-9 (including support from 2 Democrats), but that's far from enough for the full Senate. To reach 60 votes, Republicans would need at least 7 Democrats to cross party lines and support the bill (53 + 7 = 60). As of now, there are very few publicly supportive Democrats, leaving a significant gap. Additionally, there are contentious points like stablecoin yields, ethical clauses (restrictions on officials holding crypto), banking lobby pressures, and competition from other major bills that require compromises. Patrick Witt says a lot of work is being done behind the scenes—let's see how strong those backroom deals turn out to be.
