Senate CLARITY Act Markup Faces Hurdles Over Crypto Ethics Debate
The CLARITY Act, a pivotal crypto market structure bill, is advancing toward a Senate Banking Committee markup next week. However, progress is threatened by disputes over proposed ethics restrictions for federal officials involved in digital assets.
Draft text of the legislation circulated among industry participants on May 7, signaling renewed momentum. Negotiators aim to clarify jurisdictional boundaries between the SEC and CFTC for crypto oversight—a longstanding regulatory gray area.
Democratic priorities continue shaping last-minute revisions. The bill's fate now hinges on resolving tensions between market clarity objectives and political concerns about conflicts of interest.
