## Resource

The CLARITY Act has FAILED a critical Senate vote after lawmakers fell short of the 60 votes required to advance the legislation, delivering a major setback to the push for comprehensive digital-asset market structure in the United States. The failure comes despite months of negotiations, significant revisions to the legislation and Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong publicly predicting that more than 60 senators would support advancing the bill. We break down why the CLARITY deal fell apart, what the failed Senate vote means for Bitcoin and the broader U.S. regulatory landscape, what happens next for the legislation, and why attention now turns to Strategic Bitcoin Reserve legislation moving forward in Congress. 📺 Prefer video?
