No Democrat voted to advance the bill, while four Republicans, Susan Collins, Josh Hawley, Jerry Moran and Thom Tillis, also voted against it.

The defeat came a day after New York Attorney General Letitia James led 17 other attorneys general in warning senators that the bill could weaken states' ability to pursue cryptocurrency fraud.
