CNBC announced live that Democrats are reportedly attempting to block the crypto market structure bill, raising concerns about its future. The bill, known as the CLARITY Act, seeks to establish a regulatory framework by dividing oversight between the SEC and Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The House passed the bill in July 2025, but it has since faced significant hurdles in the Senate, particularly over issues such as ethics language and DeFi oversight. The bill’s failure to pass could force Congress to restart the legislative process in a new session, prolonging regulatory uncertainty for the crypto industry.
