[Lummis Criticizes Democrats for Delaying the 'Clarity Act,' Says Further Compromise Is Needed] According to a report by Golden Finance, on September 9, U.S. Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis once again criticized Democrats for delaying the much-anticipated 'Clarity Act.' Responding to a Semafor report on the X platform, Lummis stated that if the bill fails, the responsibility lies with the Democrats for not joining Republicans in supporting this bipartisan legislation. She pointed out that the Democrats' continued demands for amendments could lead future regulators to 'stifle the crypto industry.' Lummis added that she believes the 'Clarity Act' could pass if differences are bridged, but this would require further compromise from the Democrats rather than concessions from the White House. Previously, Lummis had stated that if the bill were to fail, it would be due to the Democrats. The U.S. Senate is set to hold a procedural vote on the bill next week, and Lummis warned that if it does not pass next week, there will be no realistic opportunity for it within this decade. The 'Clarity Act' aims to formally delineate the responsibilities of regulatory agencies and classify digital assets as securities, commodities, or stablecoins. The bill was passed by the House of Representatives in July last year but was shelved due to conflicts between banking industry lobbying groups and crypto companies over issues related to customer stablecoin yields. A new draft circulated in July prohibits government officials from promoting or profiting from crypto, with Democrats criticizing the Trump family’s involvement in the sector but still deeming the bill insufficient and calling for revisions.
