CLARITY Act hits another major roadblock as House cancels votes and heads into recess
AI Market Summary
House votes being canceled and lawmakers leaving until after the midterms significantly reduces the probability of near-term passage of the CLARITY Act. Even if the Senate reopens a procedural path via a motion to reconsider, the House's absence effectively closes the pre-election legislative window. The headline increases regulatory uncertainty for U.S. crypto markets, a near-term headwind for risk appetite across major tokens.

The CLARITY Act's prospects dimmed further after House Speaker Mike Johnson said Thursday's House votes have been canceled. Lawmakers are expected to depart Washington tonight and remain in recess until after the November midterm elections.
The schedule shift means that even if the Senate revives the CLARITY Act following Wednesday's failed cloture vote, the House is unlikely to be in session to consider a Senate-passed version until after Election Day.
Sen. Thom Tillis switched his vote to "no" and filed a motion to reconsider, keeping open a procedural route for another Senate vote. Still, the window for moving the CLARITY Act through Congress before the midterms is effectively closed.
