Clarity Act Fails Procedural Senate Vote in Blow to Crypto Industry

The failure is procedural, not substantive, which matters: the bill's substance was never tested on the floor, so the underlying debate over how digital assets should be classified remains unresolved rather than settled against the industry. That leaves the regulatory status quo in place, and with it the enforcement-led approach the legislation was meant to displace. The open question is whether a revised vehicle can attract the procedural support this one could not, or whether the push shifts to other channels entirely.
