Lawmakers signaled a major advance Wednesday toward passing the long-awaited 
CLARITY Act, the bill intended to create a clearer market-structure framework

Senator Angela Alsobrooks are the lead negotiators credited with forging the 
understanding alongside White House officials. Alsobrooks told reporters on 
Friday that she and Tillis “do have an agreement in principle,” adding that 
the deal represents substantial progress. “We’ve come a long way. And I think 
what it will do is to allow us to protect innovation, but also gives us the 
opportunity to prevent widespread deposit flight,” she said. Tillis, while 
optimistic, emphasized that the tentative pact is not final. He told 
interviewers he feels “like we’re in a good place,” but stressed he still 
plans to review the details with industry stakeholders before moving forward.

move is also taking shape. Market expert MartyParty noted on X that Senator 
Cynthia Lummis has indicated the Senate Banking Committee plans to hold a
