Ryan says CLARITY Act can still pass after Senate cloture vote fails 49-50

Crypto.News reported that Tim Ryan, a former Ohio congressman and Shyft adviser, told the outlet lawmakers still have a path to the CLARITY Act if they return to negotiations and make concessions. The Senate rejected cloture on a motion to proceed to the Digital Asset Market CLARITY Act on Sep. 15, with 49 senators voting yes, 50 voting no and one not voting; the motion needed 60 votes to open debate and was not a vote on final passage. Ryan named ethics, consumer protection, illicit finance and stablecoin rewards as the unresolved points, and said, 'I think there's still a path.' He said support for clear crypto rules remains bipartisan even though senators have not agreed on details, and that a deal could come in this year's lame-duck session if both sides compromise. He added that SEC and CFTC action can help firms now while legislation would supply firmer long-term rules. Crypto.News is the only outlet in this set carrying the account, and the assessment is Ryan's own view rather than a confirmed outcome.
