1 hour ago 10

Stand With Crypto will score senators’ CLARITY Act votes on public lawmaker scorecards, giving 3 million U.S. advocates a permanent record of who backed the crypto market structure bill ahead of the November midterm elections.

Key Takeaways

  • Stand With Crypto will update lawmaker scorecards using senators’ CLARITY Act voting records.
  • The advocacy organization urged senators to vote yes and advance the digital asset market structure bill.
  • Crypto owners can use the public ratings to evaluate lawmakers before the November midterm elections.

Stand With Crypto Puts Senators’ Votes on Record

Stand With Crypto, a U.S.-based crypto advocacy organization, announced July 27 on X that senators’ votes on the CLARITY Act will be recorded in its public scorecards on behalf of 3 million U.S. advocates.

The organization said each senator’s vote will become part of its public lawmaker ratings, which crypto owners can use to compare candidates ahead of the November elections. It also urged lawmakers to vote yes on the legislation.

“The CLARITY Act has galvanized millions of crypto owners, as they eagerly await market structure legislation that will deliver certainty about the technology they rely on,” Stand With Crypto added, noting:

“Crypto voters across the country are paying attention to which lawmakers stand with them in this critical moment.”

The updated scorecards will record whether each senator supported advancing the legislation, adding the CLARITY Act vote to Stand With Crypto’s existing congressional ratings based on lawmakers’ crypto-related actions and public positions. The CLARITY Act vote will become one of the highest-profile entries on those scorecards ahead of the November midterm elections.

The organization has expanded its midterm-focused campaign, placing its scoring system at the center of an effort to convert crypto policy positions into voter-facing political records.

Public Scorecards Put Senators’ Votes in Focus

With less than 100 days remaining before the midterm elections, the Stand With Crypto report on midterm voter sentiment found that nearly eight in 10 cryptocurrency owners considered themselves almost certain to vote.

Nearly 70% indicated that a candidate’s crypto position would influence their choice, while 73% closely tracked which digital asset policies lawmakers supported. Another 59% identified themselves as voters who do not consistently support one party, potentially giving cryptocurrency policy greater relevance in closely contested congressional races.

Those findings strengthen the potential influence of the scorecards, particularly in competitive races where politically unaffiliated crypto owners could compare candidates using their recorded CLARITY Act positions.

The campaign arrives during a two-week legislative window before the August recess, with ethics provisions involving public officials remaining central to negotiations among lawmakers. Several Democratic lawmakers have sought stronger ethics and consumer safeguards, creating a difficult vote count as supporters pursue the 60 senators generally required for advancement.

Galaxy Research lowered its estimated 2026 passage probability for the CLARITY Act to 30% as the Senate vote faces challenges involving timing, bipartisan support, and unresolved provisions.

Next Stop: The Full Senate

The Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs advanced its amended market structure legislation by a 15-9 vote on May 14, sending the measure to the full Senate for consideration. That bipartisan committee vote reflected negotiations over federal oversight, investor protections, enforcement authority, and operating requirements for digital asset businesses. The bill now awaits a vote before the full Senate.

Under the proposed framework, federal regulators would receive defined responsibilities covering different digital assets, while exchanges and intermediaries would encounter registration, disclosure, and customer-protection obligations.

For senators, the approaching vote now carries two consequences: determining whether the legislation advances and establishing the score that Stand With Crypto will present to millions of advocates.
