U.S. Clarity Act Unified Text to Launch Next Week, Adds 70+ Pages on Consumer Protection

According to CoinDesk, a unified version of the U.S. Clarity Act may be released as early as next week, merging work from the Senate Banking Committee and Agriculture Committee, with a planned Senate floor vote by the week of July 20. The combined text adds over 70 pages with increased focus on consumer protection.

Sources noted that Democratic support remains unsecured, with ethical provisions restricting senior officials and presidential figures from maintaining commercial relationships with the crypto industry remaining a core obstacle. The Senate has a narrow window—three remaining weeks in July and the first week of August—before the August recess, and the House must also approve the measure. Senator Ron Wyden sent a letter to Senate leadership on Wednesday supporting blockchain regulatory certainty clauses in the bill.
