According to CoinMeta, Cody Carbone, the CEO of Digital Currency Group, analyzed the Senate's vote on CLARITY legislation on September 15th, emphasizing that this date marks the beginning of a process rather than the final outcome. Senate Majority Leader John Thune arranged for the vote before the August recess. Carbone stated that he is "very confident" about initiating this process, but noted that this vote is procedural and not a final approval vote. After the vote, senators will need to go through amendment procedures and additional votes to reach a final decision. Carbone mentioned that the biggest challenge facing the legislation is the ethical provisions, stating that "ethics are the greatest challenge." He said that senators sent new ethical provisions to the White House before the August recess, and they are still under review. He emphasized that if the United States does not take action now, other countries will continue to advance similar policies.
