Ripple's CLARITY truck returned to Washington on July 14, according to Bitcoin.com News, amid Senate Democratic opposition to the cryptocurrency regulation bill. Key Senate Democrats, including Elizabeth Warren and Chris Van Hollen, are demanding stronger ethics provisions, anti-fraud rules, and market manipulation safeguards before offering support.
The bill requires 60 votes to overcome a filibuster, but Republicans hold only a 53-seat majority in the Senate, making Democratic crossover votes essential. Galaxy Research lowered its estimated probability of passage in 2026 from 60% to 50-50, citing the absence of a floor vote date and no unified committee framework.
