CLARITY Act Needs Three More Senate Votes to Advance Before Session Ends

WHY IT MATTERS

In the U.S., laws are made by Congress, which has two chambers: the House of Representatives and the Senate. A bill needs enough votes in both chambers to become law. Think of it like a school where both the student council and the teachers' board need to approve a new rule before it takes effect. The CLARITY Act is a proposed rule for how crypto should be regulated, and right now it does not have enough support in the Senate. If it does not pass before the current session of Congress ends, the process starts over from scratch, much like how an unfinished homework assignment cannot be carried over to the next school year. For people new to crypto, this matters because clear rules from the government can affect how exchanges operate, what protections consumers have, and how companies build crypto products in the United States.
