The U.S. Senate's Clarity Act, aimed at providing regulatory clarity for digital assets, faces further delays with the earliest possible floor vote now set for the week of July 20.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune stated that major issues must still be resolved, including ethics agreements, stablecoin yield language, and committee jurisdiction disputes.

Congress is currently in recess until July 13, but negotiators are expected to continue working on proposals during the break.

Key sticking points involve Democratic support for an ethics compromise and competition with other priority legislation like the annual Defense bill.

The bill's progress remains uncertain as lawmakers race to finalize text before the limited summer session.
