US CLARITY Act faces delay, consumer protections added
Overview
The Senate Banking Committee cleared the Digital Asset Market CLARITY Act in May 2026, but a full Senate vote remains pending. A Democratic amendment seeking to bar former President Donald Trump and other officials from holding or issuing digital assets sparked an ethics debate, and Senator Elizabeth Warren asked Trump to disclose his crypto earnings. In late July, Democratic lawmakers added a consumer‑protection amendment intended to give exchange users clearer rights and certainty. On July 21, the amendment was further expanded with additional safeguards, though the revised language has not yet been published and no vote date is set. Analysts warned the changes raise broader questions about U.S. authorities’ ability to compel firms to surrender encrypted data.
On July 22, Senate Majority Leader John Thune said the CLARITY Act is unlikely to be voted on before the August recess, pushing the timeline later despite the House having passed the bill and the Senate finalizing a unified text. Meanwhile, Coinbase settled a FOIA lawsuit with the SEC for $150,000, prompting a SEC policy shift to stop automatic deletion of senior officials’ communications. Industry leaders, including Ripple’s chief legal officer and Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, voiced support for the Act, emphasizing the need for clearer consumer protections and market stability. The bill’s future now hinges on a post‑recess Senate schedule and the finalization of the consumer‑protection language.
