Senate Cloture Vote Fails on Digital Asset Market Clarity Act

The stall is procedural but consequential: market-structure legislation is now hostage to an ethics fight over presidential crypto holdings rather than to the technical questions the bill was meant to settle.

Whether the ethics dispute is separated from the underlying bill, or the whole effort stays parked, is the open question.
