Clarity Act Fails to Advance in Senate
For context, the U.S. Senate held its cloture vote on the Clarity Act on Sept. 15. The bill required about 60 votes to move forward to formal debate, but only 50 senators voted in favor, and 49 voted against it.

The result stopped the legislation from moving ahead and dealt a major setback to efforts to establish a broader federal framework for digital assets in 2026.

Senator Thom Tillis changed his vote from yes to no at the last moment. Other Republicans, including Senators Josh Hawley, Susan Collins, and Jerry Moran, also did not support the bill.

Republican leaders had continued changing the bill in the final days to gain more Democratic support. The latest changes included new ethics rules aimed at stopping senior government officials from profiting from crypto ventures.

However, those changes did not produce enough votes. The legislation had already gone through more than 120 changes to address Democratic concerns, while the crypto industry had spent large funds supporting the effort.
