Thune: Senate still on track to vote on crypto CLARITY Act within four days ahead of August recess

Senate Majority Leader John Thune signaling an expected near-term vote on the crypto CLARITY Act ahead of the August recess raises the probability of a clearer US regulatory framework. A defined market-structure regime would reduce policy uncertainty and could improve institutional risk tolerance across spot and derivatives markets. The headline is broadly supportive for major crypto assets, with BTC likely the primary sensitivity barometer.
