Here's what happened behind the headline: Senate fails to advance Crypto Clarity Act.
Clarity act missed the 60 votes needed on cloture today, so it stays stuck instead of heading to floor debate. Seven democrats held their votes over ethics language, wanting rules that stop trump from profiting off crypto policy his own party is writing, on top of his reported $1.4b crypto haul so far. Banks lobbied hard against the stablecoin provisions too, adding more pressure. Cardano's CEO used the moment to point out the EU might end up being the more predictable place to build instead. Lummis says if this window closes, the next real shot could be years off, maybe not until 2029.
