The U.S. Senate is approaching a critical test for crypto regulation on September 15.
Here are 5 numbers to watch:
• 630 pages — revised bill length
• 114+ — Democratic provisions incorporated
• 60 votes — needed for the Senate to advance the bill
• 53 — Republican seats, leaving a 7-vote gap
• Sept. 15 — scheduled procedural vote
The revised bill adds rules for crypto protocols that claim to be decentralized but remain under identifiable control, potentially bringing them under CFTC registration and Bank Secrecy Act requirements.
But major disagreements remain around stablecoin rewards, ethics and anti-money-laundering safeguards.
The September 15 vote is not final passage.
It is the first major test of whether CLARITY can move forward.
