Sen. Lummis releases final CLARITY Act text over July 4 weekend; Senate vote in July. The bill puts CFTC at the center of crypto regulation, but a narrow committee vote signals floor fight.
Alpha Score of 57 reflects moderate overall profile with strong momentum, poor value, moderate quality, moderate sentiment.
Senator Cynthia Lummis will publish the final text of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act over the July 4th weekend. A Senate floor vote is expected later that month, she announced June 24.
The bill, designated H.R. 3633, passed the House last July with a 294‑134 bipartisan vote. The Senate Banking Committee advanced it in May by a 15‑9 margin, enough to signal support but too narrow to guarantee passage under the chamber's 60‑vote threshold to end a filibuster.
Under the framework, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission becomes the lead regulator for digital commodities like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The Securities and Exchange Commission keeps a limited role for tokens that qualify as securities. For developers, the bill cuts through legal ambiguity around writing code. Lummis has said it eliminates the need to bring a lawyer every time a developer wants to know whether their project is legal. The legislation also addresses anti‑money laundering rules and developer liability.
Lummis specifically invited JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon to read Section 301 over the holiday weekend. She said Dimon's earlier concerns about the bill have been addressed. Whether the final text satisfies both Dimon and the crypto‑native community is an open question. Decentralized protocol handling and liability for open‑source developers are likely friction points.
For exchanges and custodians, the bill settles a central question: which asset falls under which rulebook. Passage would give the industry a clear regulatory path after years of enforcement‑driven ambiguity. Failure would send the market back to SEC‑led oversight and case‑by‑case guidance, a scenario that has chilled product development and raised compliance costs for three years.
The final text will land before July 4. The Senate vote follows later that month.
