- On Tuesday, the Senate will hold a cloture vote on H.R. 3633, the CLARITY Act, determining whether lawmakers begin formal debate on the digital-asset market-structure bill.
- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Patrick Witt have urged lawmakers to support the motion, as crypto groups committed more than $190 million to political efforts seeking federal rules.
- The latest negotiating draft incorporates 114 amendments requested by Democrats, though banks and crypto organizations remain divided over stablecoin rewards, anti-money-laundering controls and regulatory authority between the SEC and CFTC.

- Limited floor time before the 2026 midterm elections makes any secondary attempt to pass the CLARITY Act difficult, as a failed vote would leave the SEC and CFTC working under existing authority.
