Senate May Fail to Pass CLARITY Act Before Summer Recess; August 7 Deadline at Risk

According to BlockBeats, on July 24, Senate Majority Leader John Thune stated that the CLARITY Act may not pass before the summer recess, though he hopes to launch full chamber debate prior to the break. Industry previously identified August 7 as a critical window for the bill's passage this year; if delayed into fall, the likelihood of completing legislation in 2026 would decline.

White House crypto adviser Patrick Witt suggested the Senate could still act in the first week of August, but noted the chances of a final vote in July are low, according to CoinDesk.
