CLARITY Act, last pre-recess floor window before the Senate leaves for August recess

The Senate sits the first week of August. Majority Leader John Thune said on July 23 he would like to at least get Clarity started and would see where the votes are. No cloture motion has been filed and the bill still has to be reconciled with Senate Agriculture's S. 3755.

Spot Solana ETFs already trade with staking built in (Bitwise BSOL, Grayscale, Fidelity, 21Shares and others). The open catalyst is approval of staking-focused variants such as VanEck JitoSOL, noticed by the SEC in March 2026. Date is estimated under the new ~75-day generic listing standard.
