CLARITY Act Faces May Deadline Risk, Senator Warns

U.S. Senator Bernie Moreno (@berniemoreno) warned that failing to pass the CLARITY Act by May could freeze crypto legislation for an extended period, delivering the message in a video address at the DC Blockchain Summit. With Senate momentum building, lawmakers say there is a limited window before midterm election dynamics begin to dominate the agenda. The CLARITY Act is designed to set a framework for U.S. crypto market structure. Prolonged delays have already slowed progress for months. Senator Cynthia Lummis said the Senate Banking Committee plans to take up the bill again soon, with a markup expected in the second half of April. Moreno said another setback could push broader reform years into the future.
