CLARITY Act Faces Sept. 15 Senate Test
Supporters say the bill would set federal rules for digital assets and give the Commodity Futures Trading Commission new authority over spot markets.
- On September 15, the Senate will hold a cloture vote on H.R. 3633, the CLARITY Act, determining whether lawmakers begin formal debate on the digital-asset market-structure legislation.
- Crypto groups committed more than $190 million to political efforts, while Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Patrick Witt urged lawmakers to support the motion to proceed.
- The latest negotiating draft incorporates 114 amendments requested by Democrats, yet banks and crypto organizations remain divided over stablecoin rewards, anti-money-laundering controls and regulatory authority between the SEC and CFTC.
- Senate cloture requires 60 votes, yet Ruben Gallego and Angela Alsobrooks joined Republicans advancing the measure from the Senate Banking Committee by a 15-9 vote in May 2026.
- A failed vote would leave the SEC and CFTC working under existing legal authority, as limited floor time before midterm elections makes any secondary attempt to pass the CLARITY Act difficult.
