The United States Senate initiated the first procedural voting process on the Clarity bill, which is expected to advance after the September recess

On 8 August, CoinDesk reported that John Thune, leader of the majority party in the United States Senate, had officially filed a procedural motion for the Clarity Bill after a round-the-clock voting conference on Saturday, initiating its first procedural voting process in the Senate. This move has made it possible for the Clarity bill to be put to a procedural vote immediately after its recess in September, but it has missed the voting window before its recess in August, and challenges remain for its adoption in September. The Clarity bill, which requires at least 60 votes, currently needs the support of at least 10 Democrat senators, but there are still disagreements over the ethical provisions that prohibit senior government officials, including President Trump, from participating in encryption projects. The two-party senators have submitted a revised proposal to the White House, but it has been put on hold for at least a week without response. In addition, disputes over illegal financial protection and the stabilization of currency gains have yet to be resolved. If the procedural vote fails in September, the possibility that the Clarity bill will be passed this year will be extremely remote, and legislation will need to be re-energized by the new Parliament in 2027。
