US Senate Fails to Advance Clarity Act in Cloture Vote

The US Senate failed to advance the Clarity Act in a procedural cloture vote on September 15, with 49 in favor and 50 against. Senator John Kennedy said the defeat was not surprising but does not mean the bill is dead, suggesting work may wait until the lame-duck session. Senator Ted Cruz blamed Democrats, saying they were playing politics and pushing crypto jobs overseas.

The procedural failure matters less for the tally than for the calendar: a crypto market-structure bill that cannot clear cloture now becomes a lame-duck question, and the window there is narrow. Kennedy's read that the bill is not dead and Cruz's partisan framing both signal the fight is about timing and blame, not the substance of the framework. Whether the lame-duck session actually takes it up — and whether the partisan finger-pointing hardens — is the open question for anyone tracking US crypto rulemaking.
