A new poll shows strong bipartisan voter sentiment could propel landmark crypto regulation forward in the US. Conducted from May 1-4, the HarrisX survey of 2,008 registered voters found 52% support the CLARITY Act. Consequently, nearly half of respondents said they would cross party lines for a candidate backing the bill.
Industry executives are leveraging this public support to push for legislative action. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said on X, “Passing the CLARITY Act is a bipartisan, winning issue.” Meanwhile, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev added there is momentum to establish a legislative foundation for American dominance.
The survey indicated the bill could provide a 20-point electoral advantage for supportive senators. It highlighted backing from 55% of Democrats, 58% of Republicans, and 42% of independents. However, the legislative timeline remains uncertain despite the broad support.
Coinbase VP Kara Calvert predicted a markup from the Senate Banking Committee next week. She stressed the need for a bipartisan bill to secure at least 60 Senate votes. Meanwhile, US Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand recently suggested a full Senate vote may not occur until August.
