Senator Lummis Warned That the CLARITY Act Could be Delayed Until 2030

• Senator Cynthia Lummis urged Congress to finish work on the CLARITY Act during the current session.
• In her view, if it fails, the next real chance to pass a crypto market structure bill will only come in 2030.
• A procedural vote on the initiative in the Senate is scheduled for September 15, 2026.

Senator Cynthia Lummis said that if Congress does not pass the crypto market structure bill (CLARITY) during the current session, the next real opportunity to return to the initiative may not come until 2030.

She said that further delays would mean several years of lost jobs, investment, and tax revenue. Lummis urged lawmakers to finish work on the initiative now.

What Stage Is the Bill At?

In May 2026 the Senate Banking Committee approved the CLARITY Act by a vote of 15 to 9. The bill was then sent to the full Senate for consideration.

Initially, supporters of the initiative expected to move it forward before Congress’ August recess. However, its consideration was postponed until after the break. 

A procedural vote to end debate and advance the CLARITY Act is scheduled for September 15. To do so, the initiative needs at least 60 votes.

Earlier, U.S. President Donald Trump also urged Congress to pass the CLARITY Act. At a meeting with representatives of the crypto industry, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong called the September 15 vote a key milestone for the bill.
