Sen Tim Scott on Clarity Act: It’s time for everyone to put their cards on the table
Senator Tim Scott discusses cryptocurrency regulations as the Clarity Act faces a preliminary Senate vote. Senator Scott also addresses rising mortgage rates and housing market challenges under the Biden administration.
Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., warned that Democratic opposition to cryptocurrency market structure legislation risks standing in the way of America’s ability to lead the next evolution of financial markets.
Scott, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee and one of the bill’s lead sponsors, joined FOX Business’ Taylor Riggs on “Mornings with FOX Business” to discuss the CLARITY Act and a key procedural vote that would allow negotiations to continue.
The Senate is scheduled to hold a procedural cloture vote on the CLARITY Act today, Sept. 15, at approximately 2:15 p.m. ET. The vote is not a final-passage vote; it would allow consideration of the legislation and negotiations over digital-asset market structure to continue.
