The Clarity Act, a key piece of U.S. crypto market-structure legislation, is encountering further resistance as two Republican senators, including a senior member of the Senate Banking Committee, have announced their opposition. The bill, which aims to divide oversight of digital assets between the SEC and CFTC, was previously approved by the House and has been making its way through the Senate. The current opposition seems to be linked to disagreements over ethics provisions, which have become a focal point in the bill’s progress.
