CLARITY Act Vote Looms as Senate Republicans Face Pressure

The CLARITY Act is set to face a crucial vote in the Senate today, September 15, 2026. The bill aims to clarify cryptocurrency regulations and provide clarity for industry participants.

Senator Curtis (R-Utah) has announced that he will vote for cloture on the CLARITY Act, allowing debate to proceed, but remains opposed to the underlying bill as written. He had previously expressed concerns over the potential impact of the bill on community bank deposits.

Pro-XRP attorney John Deaton predicts that the CLARITY Act will be blocked despite Trump's support, citing partisan motivations and a desire to deny Trump any legislative wins before the midterms.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong expressed optimism about the bill's chances of clearing 60 votes, framing it as a test of who supports American leadership in finance. The White House is also pushing for Senate Republicans to back the CLARITY Act, releasing an interactive tool to counter concerns over stablecoin growth and community-bank deposits.
