CLARITY Act Falters Under House Calendar Crunch

House Republican leaders have removed two weeks of legislative sessions from the voting calendar, significantly reducing the chances of passing the CLARITY Act before the November 3 midterm elections.

The House had previously passed its version of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act in 2025, which would split oversight of the U.S. digital asset market between the SEC and CFTC while setting registration rules for crypto trading platforms.

However, Senators have since built their own text with provisions absent from the House-passed version, and if they advance an amended bill, the House must either sign off on the changes or hash out a unified draft.

With representatives departing just two days after the Senate's expected vote, it seems unlikely that the House will be able to process anything without pushing the bill past the election.
