US Senate Votes on CLARITY Act Amid Global Crypto Regulation Momentum
The US Senate is set to vote on September 15 on the CLARITY Act (H.R. 3633), which would establish a comprehensive regulatory framework for digital assets.
The bill, which was passed by the House in July 2025 and marked up by the Senate Banking Committee in May 2026, aims to split regulatory authority over digital assets between the SEC and the CFTC.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has been vocal about the stakes, arguing that the September 15 vote is critical for making US rules durable for the future.
The G20 countries have made significant progress in regulating crypto assets, with over 57% of global GDP represented by countries where digital assets are fully legal.
The CLARITY Act would establish a clear distinction between digital securities and commodities, with the latter falling primarily under the CFTC's purview.
