The U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs published an interview in which Chairman Tim Scott called for an initial vote on the Clarity Act before the Senate leaves Washington. He reported growing Republican support for a procedural vote and said broader Republican backing could help bring Democrats into negotiations. Scott said the legislation would establish regulatory rules for digital assets, including an area where crypto rewards currently lack a standard. He framed the bill as supporting consumer protection and allowing digital asset innovation to remain in the U.S.
