🚨 THE CLARITY ACT FAILED TO ADVANCE — the Senate vote came in at 49-50, falling far short of the 60 votes needed.
All Democrats voted no, and four Republicans (Collins, Hawley, Moran, and Tillis) broke ranks to vote against it too — even after months of negotiations and a last-minute push from the White House.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse called it "one that stings," while Senator Lummis slammed Democrats for walking away from the deal. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP all slipped further on the news.
With this vote, real market structure legislation is essentially dead in the Senate for 2026 — though the SEC and CFTC have said they'll keep pushing their own crypto rules regardless.
