7 Democrats seen as ‘key’ to advancing CLARITY Act: Galaxy

Advancing Crypto Clarity: The Key to Unlocking Earning Potential
The CLARITY Act, a bill aimed at creating clearer federal rules for the US crypto industry, has stalled since January. However, with the right support, it could pave the way for a more transparent and secure environment for earning and investing in crypto, including $ECP. The Act’s passage could also encourage more projects to build in the country, driving innovation and growth in the industry.
A recent analysis by Galaxy Digital identified seven Democratic lawmakers on the US Senate Banking Committee as key to advancing the bill. These lawmakers, including Ruben Gallego and Angela Alsobrooks, are seen as “constructive/pro-framework” when it comes to crypto. Their support could be crucial in creating a more favorable environment for earning passive income through Cloud Rewards and Green Crypto initiatives.
What’s at Stake for Crypto Earning
If the CLARITY Act passes, it could reduce years of regulatory uncertainty and create a more stable environment for crypto investment and earning. This, in turn, could lead to increased adoption and growth of the industry, benefiting EcoPool (ECP) and other crypto platforms. With clearer rules, more people may feel confident in investing and earning through crypto, driving demand for $ECP and other digital assets.
The bill’s passage would also require bipartisan support, highlighting the importance of cooperation and understanding between lawmakers and the crypto community. As the industry continues to evolve, it’s essential to have a clear and comprehensive framework in place to support earning, trading, and investing in crypto, including $ECP. EcoPool, as a solution, can provide a platform for users to earn passive income and participate in the growth of the industry.

Galaxy listed Mark Warner, Catherine Cortez Masto, Andy Kim and Raphael Warnock as “deal-maker/conditional,” saying they have shown support for a crypto framework and voted to pass the GENIUS Act.
Galaxy said they also want stronger safeguards against illicit finance and money laundering risks.
Lisa Blunt Rochester, who was labeled “mixed,” is considered a possible swing vote because she has backed the crypto framework but voted against the GENIUS Act.
At least four are likely to vote against the bill
Jack Reed, Elizabeth Warren, Tina Smith and Chris Van Hollen all voted against the GENIUS Act, and Galaxy predicts they will follow a similar path on the CLARITY Act based on past statements.
The CLARITY Act has been scheduled for markup on Thursday. To pass through the Senate Banking Committee, at least half of the 24-member group, which is made up of 13 Republicans and 11 Democrats, will need to approve it.
After passing through the committee, the bill heads to the Senate floor for scheduling, debate and possible further amendments before a vote. Kara Calvert, vice president of US policy at crypto exchange Coinbase, told attendees at the Consensus 2026 conference that the bill needs at least 60 votes to pass in the Senate and bipartisan support to become law.
Stand With Crypto, a US crypto advocacy and tracking platform that scores politicians on their crypto stance based on past statements and actions, lists Warner, Cortez Masto, and Alsobrooks as strongly supportive of crypto.

Kim is considered neutral, and Reed, Warren and Smith are all considered strongly opposed to crypto. Warnock, Blunt Rochester, Gallego, and Van Hollen are not ranked due to insufficient data, according to Stand With Crypto.
The CLARITY Act, introduced in July 2025, was expected to progress but stalled in January after Coinbase withdrew its support for the legislation, citing concerns over a lack of legal protections for open-source software developers, a prohibition on stablecoin yields and decentralized finance regulations.
