On September 15, U.S. Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis stated that after the Senate Republicans unveiled the final compromise version of the CLARITY Act over the weekend, Democrats are still calling for more modifications. She remarked, "Democrats want more; they always want more. If we wait another month, they will come up with more demands." Lummis noted that Republicans have made concessions on 114 specific policies during negotiations, including legal protections for DeFi developers and restrictions on government officials' interests in cryptocurrency businesses. She expressed surprise that Trump agreed to the further tightened ethical provisions in the new draft. The Senate is set to hold a procedural vote on Tuesday, and the bill requires at least 60 votes to advance. Lummis indicated that it is currently uncertain whether sufficient support can be garnered and stated that the current version "is already the best result that can be achieved," and that there is no capacity for another round of modifications.
