🚨NEW: Will the Clarity Act get the 60 votes it needs to clear its first procedural hurdle?
We sat down with the White House’s top crypto adviser @patrickjwitt at the @SolanaInstitute Summit to discuss where the bill stands ahead of the vote.
We covered Republicans’ latest revisions and reactions from Democrats and the crypto industry, the ethics compromise, changes to the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act and banks’ continued objections to the stablecoin yield language.
Plus, the White House’s strategy if the bill fails to advance.
