The CLARITY Act failed its procedural vote in the Senate last night. 50 votes in favor, 49 against. It needed 60 to advance.
This is a bigger deal than the price reaction suggests.
The bill was meant to clarify how crypto is regulated in the US — specifically, which tokens are securities and which are commodities. It would have defined the SEC's and CFTC's roles more clearly.
Without it, the regulatory landscape stays murky. Projects don't know which rules apply. Institutions have less clarity on what they can legally touch.
XRP fell nearly 12% on the news. Coinbase dropped around 10%. These are the assets most exposed to US regulatory uncertainty.
The Senate isn't done with crypto legislation entirely. But this specific bill is stalled. Polymarket odds of it passing this year dropped from around 30% to single digits.
What I'm watching: does another legislative push emerge? Or does the market settle into "regulation uncertainty continues" mode for the rest of the year?
