Sen. Lummis Issues Urgent Warning: CLARITY Act Failure May Stall Crypto Regulation Until 2030

Senator Cynthia Lummis has issued an urgent call for the U.S. Senate to advance the CLARITY Act, warning that failure to pass the legislation during the current congressional term could delay comprehensive crypto market structure reform until 2030. The bill, which successfully passed the House of Representatives in July 2025, seeks to resolve regulatory ambiguity by establishing clear jurisdictional boundaries between the SEC and the CFTC for digital assets. Despite its importance for job creation and capital investment, the bill has remained dormant in the Senate for over thirteen months. A procedural motion is scheduled for September 15 to determine if deliberations can conclude, though unresolved demands from Democratic legislators regarding ethics standards continue to hinder progress. Industry observers note that securing final approval before the November midterm elections is unlikely, necessitating a restart of the legislative process if the current session expires. While the delay poses a risk to long-term regulatory clarity, institutional investment has remained resilient following the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs. The outcome of this legislative effort is critical for the RWA market, as clear classification of digital assets as securities or commodities is a prerequisite for the widespread institutional tokenization of real-world assets.
