- The CLARITY Act, a crypto market structure bill, may be revived during the post-election lame-duck session.
- Digital Sovereignty Alliance managing director Adrian Wall confirmed bipartisan senatorial interest in a second attempt before year’s end.
- Wall characterized the push as a “long shot” that faces significant procedural hurdles given the compressed timeline.
- The bill previously failed to advance in the Senate this week, yet momentum appears to be building for another vote.
Adrian Wall, managing director of the Digital Sovereignty Alliance, revealed on Wednesday that the CLARITY Act could receive a second legislative life during the post-election lame-duck session, even after failing to advance in the Senate this week. Speaking on Cointelegraph’s Chain Reaction show on X, Wall said he has directly engaged with senators from both parties who are actively weighing another procedural move to pass the crypto market structure legislation before Congress adjourns.
“There is an appetite to put this forward even during the lame duck period of Congress,” Wall stated, acknowledging the inherent difficulty of the timeline. He tempered expectations by calling the effort a “long shot,” noting that the legislative calendar will make any maneuver highly complex. Consequently, lobbyists and policy advocates are now mapping out fallback strategies that could involve attaching the bill to must-pass spending packages or forcing a cloture vote during the final weeks of the session.
Meanwhile, the failure of the bill this week has not dampened enthusiasm among its bipartisan backers, who see the lame-duck window as the last viable opportunity before the next Congress convenes. Wall emphasized that the discussions are serious, even as staff-level negotiations continue over key provisions related to digital asset classification and exchange oversight. Because the path forward remains uncertain, proponents are bracing for a series of procedural votes that could test the bill’s support base.
Despite the steep odds, the renewed push signals that digital asset policy remains a rare area of potential agreement in an otherwise divided Congress. If successfully attached to a broader legislative vehicle, the CLARITY Act could provide long-sought regulatory clarity for the industry, which has faced mounting enforcement pressure. Wall concluded that while the hurdle is high, the conversations are “real and ongoing,” leaving the crypto community to watch the Senate floor closely in the coming weeks.
