What is really behind the failure of the CLARITY Act, and why Solana is taking the hit?
The market has grown used to reacting to headlines reflexively, but let’s set aside retail panic and look at the facts. On September 15, 2026, the U.S. Senate blocked a procedural vote on the CLARITY Act (H.R. 3633): the bill received 49 votes “for” when 60 were required.
Many blamed it on the collapse of crypto regulation, but the real reasons run deeper:
