The markups will provide an opportunity for amendments, debates, and committee-level votes on the bill\u2019s language.<\/p>\n<p>If the bill successfully advances out of both committees, the expert stressed that the drafts will be reconciled before moving to a full Senate floor vote. Achieving this step will require securing at least 60 votes to overcome any potential filibuster, emphasizing the need for bipartisan support.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/vJmqMKpm\/\" alt=\"Crypto\" width=\"1814\" height=\"928\"><\/p>\n<p>Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the US Senate delves into the highly anticipated crypto market structure bill, known as the CLARITY Act, optimism is building ahead of the January 15 markup that could see the legislation advance to President Donald Trump\u2019s desk.
