Senator Cynthia Lummis has stressed the urgency of passing the CLARITY Act before the U.S. Senate’s August 7 recess, warning that failure to do so could delay significant digital asset legislation until 2030. The CLARITY Act, which passed the House with bipartisan support in 2025, aims to establish a regulatory framework for digital assets, redefining blockchain-native tokens as commodities under the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, thereby narrowing the SEC’s jurisdiction.
