CLARITY Act Gets September 15 Senate Vote—But It Still Needs a 60-Vote Coalition

The U.S. Senate has finally put a date on the next major test for America’s crypto market-structure bill.

On September 15, senators are scheduled to vote on cloture for the motion to proceed to HR 3633, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act. Supporters need a 60-vote coalition just to move the bill into floor consideration.

The vote would not pass the CLARITY Act. It would open the door to debate on a bill designed to draw clearer lines between the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission while establishing a broader federal framework for digital-asset markets.

CryptoSlate confirms that cloture on the motion to proceed is scheduled to ripen at 2:15 p.m. Eastern
