Over 200 Crypto Firms Urge Senate to Vote on CLARITY Act
- More than 200 crypto firms, including Coinbase and Ripple, signed a letter calling for a Senate floor vote on the CLARITY Act.
- The letter was led by Stand With Crypto, alongside groups like the Blockchain Association and the Crypto Council for Innovation, mobilizing nearly three million advocates.
- The CLARITY Act aims to establish a regulatory framework for crypto markets and clarify responsibilities, while protecting software developers.
- Senator Cynthia Lummis confirmed that the bill has passed the Senate Banking Committee and is next in line for a full Senate vote.
- The push comes as attention shifts towards regulating artificial intelligence, potentially delaying discussions on cryptocurrency legislation.
