Senate Set to Vote on CLARITY Act Amid Regulatory Uncertainty
The U.S. Senate is set to hold a crucial vote on September 15, 2026, regarding the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act), a bill aimed at providing regulatory clarity for the crypto market.
The CLARITY Act seeks to settle long-standing questions surrounding digital asset classification, SEC and CFTC authority, and rules governing crypto exchanges, stablecoins, and decentralized platforms.
If passed, the bill would define when digital assets fall under SEC oversight and when they fall under the CFTC, reducing uncertainty for crypto companies and investors.
The Senate's scheduled vote is a cloture vote on the motion to proceed with H.R. 3633, which requires 60 votes to succeed. If the bill reaches 60 votes, it can move forward in the formal debate process.
