Wyoming senator Cynthia Lummis, one of the Republicans, responsible for supporting the legislation for the structure of the digital asset market, said that a bill will end up on the office of US President Donald Trump “before the end of the year”.
Speaking Wednesday during Wyoming Blockchain Symposium in Jackson Hole, Lummis said that the Republicans’ objectives included a bill on the market structure, the Senate Bank bill by the end of September, followed by a counterpart within the Senatorial Agriculture Committee in October.
The two committees will explain how American financial regulators, the securities commission and the exchange and the commodity future trading commission, manage digital assets.
“We will have a market structure at the president’s office before the end of the year,” said Lummis. “I hope it’s before Thanksgiving.”
Republicans’ plans to adopt the structure of the market in the Senate followed the Chamber of Representatives of the United States approving the law on the clarity of the digital asset market (clarity) in July, 78 Democrats voting for the bill. Lummis and other Senate Republicans have suggested that their version of the legislation, provisionally entitled the responsible financial innovation law, “would be based” on the Clarity Act.
“We (…) want to honor as much work in the room as possible on clarity because they had a robust bipartite vote,” said Lummis on Wednesday. “And we don’t want to disturb this much. So we will use the Clarity Act as the basic bill (…) Clarity will probably end up being what is going on, but clarity is modified by the Senate.”

Lummis’s remarks echoed those of the president of the senatorial banking committee Tim Scott, who spoke on Tuesday at the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium. The South Carolina Senator hypothesized that “between 12 and 18 Democrats (were) at least open to the vote for the market structure” once the Senate committees have sent the bill for a ground vote.
The Senate also considers the CBDC bill
The law on clarity was one of the three laws adopted by the Chamber in July as part of the “crypto week” plans of the Republicans. In addition to the market structure bill, the Chamber approved the Act on Engineering to regulate the law on the state of monitoring the monitoring of the anti-CBDC payment currency (Central Bank Digital Bank).
The law on engineering, having already been adopted by the Senate, was promulgated by Trump the next day. However, the anti -CBDC bill obtained the least support among the three bills of the Democrats of the Chamber – only two “Yays” out of the 212 members present.
Lummis and other Republican Senators in the majority have reported their intention to focus first on the structure of the market, which suggests that any bill to regulate CBDC could be delayed in 2026.
