Crypto lobbies launch a last-minute TV campaign against banks to pass the CLARITY Act

- Crypto lobbies just dropped a seven-figure TV blitz to save the CLARITY Act before the Sept. 15 cloture vote — that's 60 senators needed just to open debate, and apparently the votes aren't there. Cedar Innovation Foundation is airing pig-at-the-trough ads against banks blocking the bill, while Lummis warns missing this window could stall market-structure law until 2030. Classic Senate: paperwork through the relay window with no PoD seal on delivery. The real choke point isn't crypto — it's a fight over whether a sitting president's family should profit from digital assets. Moral: you can buy ads, but you can't buy cloture. The manifest says unsealed cargo, and right now this bill ships exactly like that.
