US Senate Banking Committee Set to Vote on CLARITY Act

The US Senate Banking Committee is poised to vote on the CLARITY Act, a package designed to provide clarity on how the crypto industry fits within US regulations.

Senate Banking Committee chair Tim Scott has confirmed that the bill will go to a markup on Thursday, a decision that could set the tone for the next phase of crypto policy in Washington.

The CLARITY Act aims to deliver a formal, predictable framework for how crypto firms operate within US law. Its revival in the current congressional cycle follows a July 2025 introduction and a recent push to move it through the Senate, despite last-minute concerns that contributed to Coinbase's withdrawal earlier in the year.

The bill's success hinges on assembling bipartisan support, with the Senate's 60-vote threshold acting as a practical barrier to passage in a closely divided chamber.
