🇺🇸 Senate Rejects CLARITY Act Cloture 49–50 — Needed 60; Coons Did Not Vote

The 4th Circuit already heard. This is the other chamber’s clock.

U.S. Senate, vote 234, Tuesday 2:19 p.m.: cloture on the motion to proceed to H.R. 3633 — the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act — was rejected. Yeas 49. Nays 50. Not voting 1. Required for majority: 3/5. That is 60. They did not get it. The clerk’s question was whether to begin debate, not whether to send a bill to the president.

CBS News: the measure fell short of 60, with all Democrats and four Republicans opposing. The Senate roll: Republican nays include Susan Collins, Josh Hawley, Jerry Moran, and Thom Tillis. Independent nays: Angus King, Bernie Sanders. Chris Coons did not vote. CoinDesk: 49–50, short of 60. A House-passed bill that cannot start Senate debate is not law. It is not a CFTC rule. It is not a hike.

We will not invent a second cloture. We will not type the Fed’s 2 p.m. statement into this roll call. Yahoo Bitcoin about $76,034 at 8:15 a.m. ET is a tape, not a statute.

What this means for you

If you needed a crypto market-structure statute, you still do not have one. If you needed the Fed, wait until 2 p.m. Not investment advice.

Bottom line: 49–50. Needed 60. Cloture failed. Not a law. Not 2 p.m.
