Today’s crypto headlines are led by the Senate’s procedural push forward on the CLARITY Act, the strongest weekly Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF inflows since April, and a busy week ahead featuring the July CPI report, major industry conferences, and a large token unlock. Senate files motion to advance CLARITY Act. In the early hours of August 9, the Senate filed a motion to proceed on the crypto market-structure bill, its farthest procedural progress since talks stalled ahead of the summer recess. A possible floor vote is now expected around September 14, though Republicans’ 51 confirmed votes remain short of the 60 needed for cloture, meaning they’ll need support from at least seven Democrats or independents. Unresolved ethics provisions could still complicate negotiations. Separately, Senators Ruben Gallego and Thom Tillis introduced a bill that would limit federal officials’ ability to issue digital assets and require the president to divest crypto business interests.
