Senate Republicans Issue 'Closing Offer' on Crypto Market Structure Bill as Tim Scott Pushes for Next Week Markup

Senate Republicans are escalating efforts to advance the stalled crypto market structure legislation, delivering a "closing offer" to Democratic negotiators. The document, sent by Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott and three GOP senators, includes over 30 revisions to Title I on digital asset classification, plus two new titles on investor protection and illicit finance. Democrats demand ethics provisions to prevent elected officials, including Trump family members, from profiting from crypto businesses, and insist on Democratic appointments to SEC and CFTC leadership. While moderate Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto expects a markup next week, deep divisions remain on regulation, enforcement, and DeFi. The compressed legislative calendar, with a Jan. 30 spending deadline and midterm election pressure, adds urgency.

US CLARITY Act Enters Critical Two Weeks: Bipartisan Negotiations Intensify During Senate Recess, Trump Crypto Wealth in Spotlight

The U.S. Senate is in recess until July 13, making the next two weeks decisive for the CLARITY Act's advancement. The bill requires at least 60 votes to pass; with 53 Republican votes, it needs at least 7 Democratic senators. Democratic support may hinge on the White House establishing a strong ethical framework for Trump's crypto business, which has generated over $2 billion in new wealth since his return to the White House. Law enforcement groups oppose provisions incorporating the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act, arguing they would hinder on-chain crime investigations. Unresolved differences include text discrepancies between the Banking and Agriculture committees, federal preemption of state laws, exchange conflict-of-interest management, and affiliate transaction restrictions. Sources say no final deal has been reached, and uncertainty remains over whether a full Senate vote can occur before the August recess.
