🚹 CLARITY Act — Latest Crypto News

The U.S. Senate failed to advance the CLARITY Act on September 15, 2026. The procedural vote was 49–50, falling short of the 60 votes required to move forward.

Why it matters for crypto:

📉 BTC fell below $76,000 after the vote.
The bill was designed to establish clearer U.S. rules for digital assets and define the roles of the SEC and CFTC.
The failure leaves the crypto industry without the proposed federal market-structure framework for now.
U.S. regulators may continue developing rules through existing SEC/CFTC authority.
The bill could potentially be reconsidered later, but its near-term legislative path is now uncertain.
