Stand With Crypto on July 1 urged supporters to contact Senators and push for a floor vote on the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act before lawmakers leave for the August recess, as the Senate remains in recess until July 13. The advocacy group warned that the narrow window following months of committee work requires immediate action. The bill would establish clearer federal rules for digital asset issuers, trading platforms, developers, and market participants, supporters say.
Senate Returns July 13 With Eight-Day Window Before August Recess
Lawmakers return to Washington on July 13 after the Independence Day recess, leaving Congress with just eight legislative business days before the planned August recess. The timeline follows the Senate Banking Committee's June approval of H.R. 3633 in a bipartisan 15-9 vote. The bill outlines agency oversight, registration pathways for crypto firms, consumer protections, and compliance standards across digital asset markets.
"The Senate is in recess. The clock on Clarity is running," Stand With Crypto noted on X, adding: "The window before the August recess is short, and when Senators return on July 13, they can vote on the Clarity Act to end years of regulatory guesswork. Don't let the window close. Call your Senators to schedule a vote on Clarity."
The compressed schedule gives lawmakers limited time to consider the CLARITY Act alongside annual defense and government funding legislation.
More Than 200 Organizations Lobby Senate Leadership for Floor Vote
More than 200 organizations, including Coinbase, Ripple, Kraken, Circle, Binance.US, Uniswap Labs, Paradigm, Andreessen Horowitz, and Stand With Crypto chapters, have urged Senate leaders to bring the bill to the floor. Industry advocacy has intensified as the legislative calendar tightens ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
Mason Lynaugh, policy director at Stand With Crypto, said: "There's a limited window to get this done, with few remaining days left in the current Congress before the midterm elections. If Senate leaders don't schedule a CLARITY Act vote in the coming weeks, an enormous amount of bipartisan work, compromise, and progress, could be wasted."
Ripple has promoted the effort in Washington, D.C., including a branded CLARITY truck near Capitol Hill to raise visibility as lawmakers consider crypto legislation.
Stand With Crypto cited polling showing nearly three-quarters of surveyed crypto owners in Senate battleground states are more likely to support candidates who favor clearer cryptocurrency rules. The group also reported that more than one-third of respondents use digital assets for personal transfers, while 21% use them for monthly expenses.
Galaxy Research lowered its 2026 passage estimate for the CLARITY Act to 50-50 from 60%, citing the absence of a scheduled Senate floor vote, no motion to proceed, and no unified text between Senate committees.
