CLARITY Act Vote Looms: What's at Stake for XRP, XLM, and HBAR
The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY) is expected to have significant implications for certain digital assets, particularly XRP, XLM, and HBAR. According to crypto commentator X Finance Bull, these assets could be affected due to their previous recognition from federal regulators.
The Senate's cloture motion on H.R. 3633, the CLARITY Act, is set to ripen on September 15, 2026. This would determine whether the Senate moves the bill forward, but it does not represent final passage of the legislation. The commentator emphasized that significant work has already been put into CLARITY and the gap between Democrats and Republicans has narrowed.
X Finance Bull highlighted XRP, XLM, and HBAR because they were identified as digital commodities by the SEC and CFTC in March 2026. This changes the regulatory question surrounding these assets, shifting focus towards establishing rules for the broader financial infrastructure surrounding digital commodities.
