CLARITY Act horseshoe maneuver in the U.S. Senate throws the crypto market into another frenzy.
The ambitious bill aims to establish a clear legal framework for digital assets, but it failed in a procedural vote on September 15, when it could not gather the required 60 supporting votes to move on to the debate round. Although it’s not the absolute end yet, this setback has nearly wiped out hopes of passing a unified crypto law in 2026.
Quick rundown of developments:
Core disagreements: Even though the Republican side tried to compromise and amend the draft, both sides still clashed fiercely over regulatory areas related to ethics rules, conflicts of interest, the management mechanism for stablecoins, and the level of protection for developers.
Incomplete power division: It failed to clarify the boundary between securities and commodities, and the relationship between the SEC and the CFTC remains stuck in a “everyone does their own thing” situation based on old authorities.
Market reaction: Bitcoin immediately reversed and cooled off, dragging down a series of related stocks as investors dumped shares without mercy, including Coinbase and Circle.
Overall, the digital asset market in the U.S. continues its uneasy co-existence with legal ambiguity—and it remains to be seen whether lawmakers will sit down again to negotiate in the future.
