CLARITY Act Pulled From Senate Schedule as Lummis Alleges a Deliberate Kill and Odds Sink to 27%
The CLARITY Act is moving through an increasingly narrow Senate window toward a floor vote as ethics disputes, opposition coalitions, and shifting passage odds keep the bill's fate uncertain.
The CLARITY Act was removed from the Senate floor schedule before the August recess; lead sponsor Cynthia Lummis told colleagues that continued delay without a specific ask "amounts to a deliberate decision" to run out the clock and kill the bill, and Polymarket odds of 2026 passage fell to roughly 27%. Prosecutors' associations separately urged the White House to change the bill's developer protections — a proposal Trump's crypto adviser rejected. SEC Chair Atkins said the agency will write crypto rules through "Project Crypto" if Congress fails to act.
