It has been reported that the office of U.S. Republican Senate Majority Whip John Thune has informed industry officials that they still intend to file for cloture to begin deliberation on the Clarity Act before the August congressional recess. According to Eleanor Terrett, host of the cryptocurrency policy publication Crypto in America, this is preparing the groundwork for a vote on the Clarity Act in September, and is interpreted as a positive signal that Republican leadership intends to prioritize the bill after the Senate reconvenes. However, to do so, they must secure votes that are not currently guaranteed, resolve disagreements regarding yield, and agree on a bipartisan ethics clause.
