With just days before the Senate's August recess, is the Clarity Act finally headed for a vote?

Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), one of the chief architects of the Senate's digital asset market structure bill, joins Crypto In America to discuss where negotiations stand after nearly a year of work, why she still believes Majority Leader John Thune will bring the bill to the floor, and what the path to passage actually looks like.

Lummis also addresses the latest fights over the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA), ethics negotiations, and whether there are enough votes to move the legislation forward.
