CLARITY Act: Senate Crypto Bill Odds at 40s Before Recess
Lummis and Scott want CFTC rules locked in fast; Wyden says non-custodial safeguards can't wait for a later fix.
Senate is weighing whether to pass the CLARITY Act before August recess to shift BTC and ETH oversight to the CFTC and end the current SEC gray zone, but Wyden is holding out for stronger BRCA protections on non-custodial activity that could weaken enforcement if rushed.
Why these scores — Scores track the two named accounts plus corroborating timeline chatter; Side A leans on sponsor names and recess deadline, Side B on specific BRCA language. No bot clusters or recycled outrage detected in the sample.
Senate crypto odds sit in the 40s while August recess ticks closer, turning every vote into a potential cliff-edge moment.
Side A argues CFTC oversight ends the enforcement vacuum and that Lummis and Scott have the votes to finish the job now. Side B counters that skipping Wyden's non-custodial fixes trades long-term clarity for short-term passage and risks leaving weak rules on the books.
Both sides cite the same bill text and the same calendar; the split is over timing and whether partial progress beats no progress.
CFTC oversight ends the SEC vacuum; Lummis and Scott need to close the deal before recess or the window closes.

Wyden's BRCA non-custodial rules must stay intact; rushing risks a weak bill that under-enforces later.
