Senate Banking Committee Schedules Vote on Clarity Act Amid Ongoing Disputes

The Senate Banking Committee has set a vote for May 14 on the Clarity Act. According to NS3.AI, TD Cowen noted that this decision merely shifts the debate to the full Senate. Jaret Seiberg explained that if the committee passes the bill, it would allow lawmakers to merge it with the Senate Agriculture Committee's version and then pursue the 60 votes required for approval. However, Seiberg highlighted that disagreements over stablecoin yield, ethics provisions, anti-money laundering, and market manipulation standards continue to pose challenges to the bill's progress this year.
