Republican senators have released a new draft of the CLARITY Act, though the proposal has faced sharp criticism from Democrats. Representative Gallego described the GOP proposal as a “piece of s--t” and is considering an ethics counteroffer. The White House has urged Senate Democrats to accept the victories gained regarding limits on Donald Trump's crypto interests.
Coverage from Politico, Fox News, and Forbes emphasizes the friction between the bill's quest for regulatory clarity and the ethics clauses targeting Trump's crypto empire. Bloomberg reports that this "bonanza" remains the biggest hurdle for the legislation, while Fortune notes that hopes for the bill are fading amid these controversies. Future movement depends on whether a counteroffer can resolve the ethics dispute.
However, Tech Times reports a drop in the odds of passage to 37% after Senate Leader Thune stated, via Punchbowl News, that the bill will not pass before recess. CoinGape notes the risk of delays extending into November.
