Sept 9 : A fight over major cryptocurrency legislation has spilled into the congressional summer recess, with the crypto industry and the banking sector mounting a final lobbying blitz in senators' home states ahead of a vote on the bill next week. The industry has spent hundreds of millions of dollars campaigning to advance the Clarity Act, which it says will put crypto companies on a solid legal footing. The Senate will take a procedural vote on September 15 that could determine the fate of the bill, but with Democrats and some Republicans warning the bill has insufficient safeguards and could destabilize the banking system, its chances look slim, according to analysts.During the recess, which began on August 8, the crypto industry and banking groups have taken their fight to senators' home states, deploying op-ed pieces, letter-writing drives and in-person events to rally grassroots support and sway lawmakers, according to executives and public materials. "Our strategy during recess is ... about demonstrating the presence and enthusiasm of our community, in every state and every congressional district," said Mason Lynaugh, executive director of Stand With Crypto, an advocacy group backed by crypto company Coinbase.
