Stand With Crypto to score senators’ CLARITY Act votes

Stand With Crypto announced on July 27 that it will record senators’ votes on the CLARITY Act on public lawmaker scorecards on behalf of 3 million U.S. crypto advocates. The group posted the announcement on X and urged senators to vote to advance the bill.

Under the plan, each senator’s vote on whether to move the CLARITY Act forward will be added to Stand With Crypto’s public ratings, which already track lawmakers’ crypto-related actions and public positions. The organization said the CLARITY Act entry will be a high-profile item on those scorecards as voters compare candidates before the November midterm elections.

Stand With Crypto framed the effort as a way to give crypto owners a clear record of positions. In its post, the group wrote, “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,” and added that “crypto voters across the country are paying attention to which lawmakers stand with them in this critical moment.”

The announcement referenced a recent Stand With Crypto report on voter sentiment among crypto owners. The report found that about 80% of crypto owners said they were almost certain to vote, nearly 70% said a candidate’s position on crypto would influence their choice, 73% followed lawmakers’ digital-asset policies closely, and 59% identified as voters who do not consistently support one party.

The scorecard update comes during a brief legislative window before Congress’s August recess, as negotiators continue to work on ethics and consumer-protection provisions. Some Democratic senators have pushed for stronger ethics and consumer safeguards, complicating the vote tally for supporters who typically seek about 60 votes to advance legislation in the Senate. Market research firm Galaxy Research recently revised its estimate for the CLARITY Act’s chance of passage in 2026 to 30%.

The Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs advanced an amended version of the market-structure bill by a 15-9 vote on May 14 and sent it to the full Senate. The legislation would assign federal regulators defined responsibilities across different categories of digital assets and would impose registration, disclosure and customer-protection requirements on exchanges and intermediaries, along with enforcement authority and operating rules for digital-asset businesses.

Senators now face two linked decisions: whether to vote to advance the CLARITY Act in the full Senate and how their vote will be recorded on the public scorecards Stand With Crypto will present to millions of crypto advocates ahead of the midterms.
