Senate Eyes Initial Vote on H.R. 3633 Crypto Bill Before Recess

Summary
John Thune said the Senate still expects an initial procedural vote this week on the Clarity Act, a closely watched cryptocurrency market-structure bill, before lawmakers leave for recess.
Thune cautioned the timing is not locked in, saying the chamber still has "a bunch of stuff" to finish in a tight window and it remains unclear whether leaders can get onto the bill.
Backers are pressing for a first vote to close debate on H.R. 3633, a step that would let the Senate move toward fuller consideration of the crypto-regulation measure.
The comments signal that, despite the crowded schedule, Senate leaders still see a path for at least an opening test vote on crypto rules before the break.
