Crypto: Coinbase, Ripple and 200 industry players call on the Senate for a vote on the CLARITY Act

The US legislative calendar once again puts the crypto sector in the spotlight. While the Senate will not resume its work until July 13, several companies and organizations in the sector are calling for a quick vote on the CLARITY Act before the August summer break. This mobilization comes after several months of parliamentary work and in a context where regulatory uncertainty remains at the heart of the concerns of digital asset players. The coming days could thus impact the future of the US federal framework.

The Crypto Sector Intensifies Pressure on the Senate

The debate over digital asset regulation has entered a decisive phase. On July 1, the Stand With Crypto group called on its supporters to contact the US Senate to secure a floor vote on the CLARITY Act before the August parliamentary recess. According to the organization, the window for action is now very limited after several months of discussions and lobbying with lawmakers.

In a message posted on X, the group reminded that the Senate is currently on break and the countdown is on. The organization states that “senators have a short period upon their return on July 13 to review the bill before the summer recess.” They thus encourage voters to formally request the bill’s inclusion on the agenda.

Supporters of the bill believe that a clearer federal framework would reduce uncertainty for digital asset issuers, exchanges, developers, and all market participants. In this perspective, they consider that a quick vote would avoid further delaying the work underway for several years on crypto regulation.

The CLARITY Act Faces a Very Tight Parliamentary Schedule

The CLARITY Act passed a significant milestone in June when the Senate Banking Committee approved bill H.R. 3633 by 15 votes to 9, with bipartisan support. The bill notably defines the allocation of responsibilities between supervisory agencies, procedures for business registration, compliance rules, and several measures aimed at consumer protection.

However, the Congressional schedule greatly limits review possibilities. After lawmakers return on July 13, only eight working days remain before the planned August recess. During this period, lawmakers will also have to handle other major issues, including government funding and defense bills.

This constraint heightens concerns among CLARITY Act proponents. Stand With Crypto believes that “a vote delay could jeopardize several years of bipartisan negotiations.” For the group, missing this session could prolong the regulatory uncertainty still surrounding digital asset markets.

Mason Lynaugh, Director of Public Affairs at Stand With Crypto, points out that time is becoming a decisive factor:

There’s a limited window to get this done, with few remaining days left in the current Congress before the midterm elections. If Senate leaders don’t schedule a CLARITY Act vote in the coming weeks, an enormous amount of bipartisan work, compromise, and progress could be wasted.

According to him, the absence of a vote in the coming weeks could invalidate the efforts of compromise and cooperation made so far among the various stakeholders around the CLARITY Act.

Coinbase, Ripple and Over 200 Organizations Mobilize Their Efforts

As the deadline approaches, sector initiatives are gaining momentum. More than 200 organizations have asked Senate leaders to schedule a vote. Among them are Coinbase, Ripple, Kraken, Circle, Binance.US, Uniswap Labs, Paradigm, and Andreessen Horowitz, as well as several local chapters of Stand With Crypto.

Ripple has also intensified its awareness campaign in Washington. The company deployed a truck painted with CLARITY Act colors near Capitol Hill to raise the bill’s visibility while senators continue their discussions on crypto regulation.

Stand With Crypto also highlights the results of a poll conducted across several key states. According to this survey, nearly three-quarters of cryptocurrency holders surveyed say they are more likely to support candidates who favor clearer regulation. The organization also states that more than one-third of respondents use digital assets for personal transfers, while 21% use them for monthly expenses.

Despite this mobilization, several observers remain cautious about the chances of the CLARITY Act’s adoption. Galaxy Research has revised its 2026 forecasts down from a 60% likelihood of adoption to a 50-50 scenario. The firm justifies this revision by the absence of a set date for a floor vote, the lack of a procedural motion, and the absence of a unified text between the Senate’s different committees. These factors maintain uncertainty around the legislative calendar and the evolution of crypto regulation in the United States. The coming weeks will show whether the industry’s mobilization is sufficient to accelerate the CLARITY Act’s review before the parliamentary summer recess.
