Lummis said Senate Democrats opposed efforts to address what she described as contract loopholes for crypto issuers. Separately, the Senate rejected cloture on a motion to proceed to the proposed CLARITY Act.
The measure, H.R. 3633, is the proposed Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act). The Senate did not hold a separate vote on Lummis’ contract-related criticism.
The Senate's roll-call record shows that cloture on a motion to proceed to H.R. 3633 failed 49-50 on Sept. 15. One senator did not vote. The roll call concerned whether to move the full bill toward consideration, not final passage. Senators' votes therefore did not decide whether they supported Lummis' view of the contract issue.
The House passed the 2025 version 294-134 on July 17, 2025. The Senate's failed procedural step left it pending. Earlier debate on H.R. 3633 also covered fundraising limits that Lummis said Democrats had sought, as EconoTimes previously reported.
