Lummis: CLARITY Act Adopts 120+ Democratic Demands, Tuesday Vote Critical

The significance here is less the substance of the bill than the process: a year of bipartisan negotiation and a claim that 120-plus Democratic demands have been absorbed reframes the CLARITY Act as a consensus product rather than a partisan vehicle, which is the harder part of any market-structure bill. The ethics provisions extend the debate beyond crypto-specific rules to the conduct of federal officials, a broader political exposure that could pull in votes or repel them. Tuesday's vote is the real test of whether the claimed bipartisan groundwork holds; whether the package survives that vote intact is the open question.
