Lummis says failure to pass the Clarity Act this Congress could delay market structure legislation until 2030

U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis said the window to revisit crypto market structure legislation could close for years if the Clarity Act does not pass during the current Congress. In a public statement, Lummis said that if the bill fails this session, the next real opportunity to bring market structure legislation back could be 2030. She argued that completing the work now would help avoid losing jobs, investment, and tax revenue over the coming years. The remarks frame the current congressional session as a critical period for advancing the legislation, with Lummis emphasizing the cost of delay rather than outlining any new timeline beyond 2030. Her statement did not add further details in the report beyond that warning and the economic losses she said could be avoided by acting now.
