Senate Republicans are pushing a merged CLARITY Act draft toward the floor without the Democratic support needed to clear a filibuster, leaving the crypto market-structure bill exposed to a narrowing pre-recess calendar. The latest draft combines work from the Senate Banking and Agriculture committees and adds more than 70 pages to the legislation that cleared Banking in May.

They now sit inside payment apps, exchange settlement flows, DeFi markets, cross-border transfers, card programs, and on-chain treasury systems. The…
