Five days, a 30% chance, and a battle over Trump's crypto profits: Inside the Senate's scramble to pass CLARITY Act before Friday

What happened

The CLARITY Act, which would require disclosure of former President Donald Trump's cryptocurrency holdings, is in the Senate's final scheduled week before the August recess but has not yet been placed on the floor agenda.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

If passed, the act would force high‑profile individuals to reveal crypto assets, increasing transparency and potentially prompting broader calls for similar disclosure rules across the financial sector.

Analyst inference

The Senate is also considering a government funding bill (H.R. 6500) this week, so the CLARITY Act must compete for limited floor time, reflecting the broader legislative focus on funding and emerging crypto regulation.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Whether the CLARITY Act is added to the Senate floor schedule this week, indicating leadership priority and likelihood of a vote before the recess. Analyst inference
2. The outcome of any vote on the act, which would determine if disclosure requirements for Trump’s crypto holdings become law. Analyst inference
3. Reactions from crypto firms and investors to the act’s progress, as new disclosure rules could affect market confidence and compliance costs. Analyst inference
