[U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis Pushes CLARITY Act to Combat Lazarus Group] According to a report by Bitcoin.com, U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis is pushing for the CLARITY Act to complete a Senate vote before Congress recesses. Section 303 of the bill grants the Treasury Department the authority to impose targeted digital asset sanctions on foreign jurisdictions, while Section 305 allows exchanges to freeze suspicious transactions for up to 180 days. On-chain data shows that North Korea's Lazarus Group stole approximately $643 million in the first half of 2026, accounting for two-thirds of the global crypto theft total of $972 million during the same period. This includes a $285 million attack on Drift Protocol in April and a $292 million attack on the KelpDAO cross-chain bridge. Since 2019, the group has accumulated thefts totaling $6.75 billion. Currently, Galaxy Research has downgraded the probability of the CLARITY Act passing in 2026 to 30%. The bill requires 60 votes to advance, necessitating at least 7 Democratic senators to cross party lines in support.
