CLARITY Act Delay: Senate Crypto Market Structure Bill Pushed to May

TLDR Senator Thom Tillis has urged Senate Banking Chair Tim Scott to delay the CLARITY Act markup until May The main sticking point is how stablecoin yield and rewards should be treated in the legislation Banking groups fear stablecoin yield could pull deposits away from traditional banks Crypto advocacy group The Digital Chamber is pushing for the bill to move forward immediately Senator Moreno previously warned that if the bill doesn’t pass by May, crypto legislation may stall indefinitely The US Senate’s crypto market structure bill, known as the CLARITY Act, is facing another delay. Senator Thom Tillis, a Republican from North Carolina, told reporters Monday that he does not expect the Senate Banking Committee to mark up the bill in April. He has asked Committee Chair Tim Scott to schedule it for May instead. News: Sen. Tillis (R-NC) told Senate Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott (R-SC) the panel should not plan to advance a major crypto bill in April. Negotiators need more time to finalize a bank-crypto compromise on stablecoin yield, Tillis said, pointing to a potential May markup pic.twitter.com/PIaAjPCb24 — Brendan Pedersen (@BrendanPedersen) April 20, 2026 Tillis has been one of the key negotiators working to bridge differences between the banking and crypto industries. He told reporters it was important to give all parties time to be heard before moving forward. The bill passed the full House nearly a year ago with bipartisan support. It has since cleared the Senate Agriculture Committee, but still needs to get through the Senate Banking Committee before it can go to a full Senate floor vote. The Stablecoin Yield Dispute The main holdup is a disagreement over stablecoin rewards. The banking industry is concerned that allowing stablecoin issuers or platforms to pay yield to holders could pull deposits out of traditional banks, especially smaller community banks. Those banks may not have the financial flexibility to absorb large deposit outflows, the industry argues. On the other side, crypto companies including Coinbase have pushed for more favorable terms around stablecoin rewards. They argue that restricting rewards would hurt innovation. The current draft language, as of last week, would ban rewards on idle stablecoin balances but allow yield tied to activity like transactions. A source told The Block that it would be difficult to change the text at this point. Senators Tillis and Angela Alsobrooks, a Democrat from Maryland, have been working together to resolve this issue. Industry Pressure Builds The Digital Chamber, a crypto advocacy group, sent a letter Monday to the Senate Banking Committee urging it to advance the legislation to a markup “as soon as the calendar allows.” The letter was signed by CEO Cody Carbone and addressed to both Tim Scott and Elizabeth Warren, the top Republican and Democrat on the committee. “More than 70 million Americans who have embraced digital assets deserve the regulatory clarity they have waited far too long for,” said Taylor Barr, the group’s government affairs director. The Digital Chamber noted it has been more than 270 days since the House passed the bill. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has also been applying pressure. In March, he warned that if Democrats were to take the House in the November midterms, the chances of passing the bill could fall apart. Senator Bernie Moreno previously warned at the DC Blockchain Summit that if the bill did not pass by May, “digital asset legislation will not pass for the foreseeable future.” This week, Senate Banking Committee attention will first turn to Tuesday’s confirmation hearing for Kevin Warsh, President Trump’s nominee for Federal Reserve Chair.

Crypto PAC Fellowship Raises $11M, Books $3M With Tether US CEO-Linked Firm

TLDR Fellowship PAC reported $11 million in early funding in new FEC filings. Cantor Fitzgerald contributed $10 million, and Anchorage Digital added $1 million. The PAC paid $3 million for advertising to Nxum Group. Nxum Group was co-founded by Tether US CEO Bo Hines. The PAC disclosed spending for Clay Fuller, Nate Morris, and Pete Ricketts. Fellowship PAC, a new crypto-focused super PAC, reported $11 million in early backing and directed $3 million in advertising payments to Nxum Group, a firm co-founded by Tether US CEO Bo Hines, according to Federal Election Commission filings released Wednesday. The spending places the new political committee in focus as crypto firms and related executives expand their role in the 2026 US election cycle. The filings showed that Cantor Fitzgerald provided $10 million of the PAC’s opening funds, while Anchorage Digital contributed $1 million. Fellowship PAC has said it aims to support candidates who back clear and predictable digital asset rules. Its early spending has focused on Republican races for Congress and a governor’s office, based on the reports provided. Nxum Group received the initial advertising payments as Fellowship PAC began placing media for its preferred candidates. Hines founded the firm with his father and another partner before taking a White House crypto advisory role and later moving to Tether US. The PAC’s use of Nxum has drawn attention because of Tether’s close association with Fellowship since its formation and because senior figures tied to Tether and Cantor are connected to the committee. Cantor Fitzgerald and Anchorage Digital Provide Initial Funding Cantor Fitzgerald accounted for most of Fellowship PAC’s opening funding. The financial services firm has had a close business relationship with Tether since 2021 through its role handling reserves tied to the stablecoin issuer’s operations. Howard Lutnick, Cantor’s former chief executive, now serves as US Commerce Secretary, while his children now run the firm. Anchorage Digital, the federally chartered crypto bank, described its $1 million contribution as part of its broader policy engagement around digital asset regulation in the United States. In a public statement, Anchorage said it supports efforts aimed at advancing workable rules for the sector and has taken a bipartisan approach to policy discussions. Fellowship PAC had previously said it would command as much as $100 million in pledged support, though the latest filings showed $11 million in reported contributions so far. The PAC’s treasurer is a Cantor executive, and Jesse Spiro, a Tether US executive, has been named chairman. Tether did not provide a comment in the cited reports, while Cantor declined comment. Ad Spending Flows to Nxum Group Federal filings showed that Fellowship PAC disbursed $3 million to Nxum Group for advertising services. Before these payments, Nxum had little public profile in campaign work, though reports noted it had donated billboard advertising to MAGA Inc. during the 2024 election cycle. The latest payments made Nxum one of the largest early recipients of Fellowship PAC spending. The PAC also disclosed candidate support spending, including about $300,000 for Clay Fuller in Georgia, $850,000 for Nate Morris in Kentucky, and $350,000 for Nebraska Senator Pete Ricketts. Those outlays formed part of the committee’s initial push to back candidates seen as supportive of the crypto sector. Hines’ connection to both Nxum and Tether US has become part of the story because Fellowship PAC has been closely linked with Tether since its launch. Even so, the funding reported in the latest filing came from Cantor Fitzgerald and Anchorage Digital rather than Tether itself. Tether Ties Remain in Focus Questions remain around whether Tether or Tether US could directly fund the PAC. Non-US entities are barred from direct participation in US campaign finance, and Tether’s global structure has kept that issue in view. The reports noted that it remains unclear whether either Tether entity could legally contribute to Fellowship PAC. Crypto PACs played a major role in the 2024 election cycle, and Fellowship appears to be positioning itself as another large player in that arena.

April Is Make or Break for the Biggest Crypto Bill in U.S. History

TLDR Senator Bill Hagerty expects the CLARITY Act to reach the Senate Banking Committee in April The bill would shift crypto oversight largely from the SEC to the CFTC Stablecoin yield language has been the main obstacle, but industry leaders are now more hopeful Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott has not yet set a markup date Polymarket puts the odds of Trump signing the bill this year at 63% Senator Bill Hagerty said Monday he expects the CLARITY Act to move through the Senate Banking Committee within the next few weeks, setting an April target for the crypto market structure bill. Hagerty spoke at the Digital Assets and Emerging Tech Policy Summit at Vanderbilt University. He said the bill could clear the banking committee before the end of April if remaining issues are resolved. “There’s still a lot more work to do,” Hagerty said, but added that none of the outstanding issues were “insurmountable.” The CLARITY Act passed the House of Representatives in July under that name. It has faced delays in the Senate due to disagreements over stablecoin yield, ethics concerns, and pushback from parts of the crypto industry. The bill proposes shifting oversight of crypto markets largely from the Securities and Exchange Commission to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Because both agencies are involved, it needs approval from both the Senate Agriculture Committee and the Senate Banking Committee. The Agriculture Committee advanced its version of the bill in January. The Banking Committee still needs to hold a markup before a floor vote can happen. Stablecoin Yield Dispute Moves Toward Resolution The stablecoin yield question has been the biggest sticking point. Crypto companies, including Coinbase, had opposed earlier language that placed a broad ban on stablecoin rewards. Crypto and banking industry sources told Crypto in America last week that both sides reviewed new stablecoin yield text and are cautiously hopeful a deal can be reached. Neither side has disclosed what the updated language says. Coinbase’s Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal said he was confident a deal would be reached. He told reporters last week that lawmakers were “close to a deal” on the remaining issues. Markup Date Still Unknown Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott has not yet scheduled a date for the markup. The committee has also not said whether it plans to release a new draft to the public. Pro-crypto Senator Cynthia Lummis has hinted a markup could happen this month. But pro-XRP lawyer and Senate candidate John Deaton warned that if the bill stalls until summer, Congress will likely shift focus to midterm elections and the bill could fail. Hagerty acknowledged the political clock. “If we get this done in April, we can clearly get this taken care of before the midterms,” he said. Crypto-aligned political action committees are already preparing for 2026. Fairshake reported a $193 million war chest for the November midterms. The Fellowship PAC, which says it raised over $100 million from crypto-aligned backers, named Tether executive Jesse Spiro as chair this week. Polymarket currently puts the odds of Trump signing the CLARITY Act into law in 2025 at 63%, though those odds recently dipped as low as 50%.
