Senate CLARITY Act Vote Hits Crucial Deadline on September 15
The U.S. Senate is set to vote on advancing the Digital Asset Market CLARITY Act (H.R. 3633) on September 15, a procedural hurdle that requires 60 votes to open debate on the bill.
The legislation aims to clarify SEC and CFTC oversight of digital assets, with proponents arguing that clear rules will attract more capital and institutional investment in Bitcoin and Ethereum.
However, the vote is seen as challenging due to unresolved ethics language and the need for Democratic crossover votes.
