The much-awaited Senate floor vote for the crypto bill, the CLARITY Act, has been pushed to September after missing the August window.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Senate Majority Leader John Thune expects Senators to stay in Washington over the weekend or early next week. A cloture filing on the legislation (a procedural move) that can allow the bill to advance to a Senate floor vote could be possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

But the final vote may happen next month, Thune told reporters on Thursday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Dems insisted on no Clarity vote. We\u2019re getting that queued up first thing when we come back in September.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Why was the CLARITY Act Senate vote delayed until September?<\/h2>\n

Earlier on Thursday, the 6th of August, Democratic member Sen. Elizabeth Warren maintained that they want legislation for the sector. However, she opposed the current draft CLARITY Act,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We need crypto legislation. I’ve been saying this for a long time. But crypto legislation that has been written by the crypto industry to protect and advance the crypto industry…that’s just not good crypto legislation.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Warren had also pressed the SEC to investigate Trump memecoin for being a potential rug pull and <\/span>illegal scam<\/span><\/a>. Many analysts viewed this as part of a broader agenda to push for strong <\/span>ethics provisions<\/span><\/a>, a key sticking issue in the CLARITY Act.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For his part, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson slammed the Warren-led Democratic faction, adding that,<\/span><\/p>\n

So she would rather have legislation to damage and destroy the industry? There is no compromise with people like Liz. She wants to ban all cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Will the CLARITY Act become law in 2026?<\/h2>\n

The CLARITY Act is the most comprehensive crypto market structure legislation in the U.S and was advanced out of the House last July. The Senate Banking Committee <\/span>cleared<\/span><\/a> its amended version of the bill in May 2026.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the final Senate floor vote has been elusive amid a fight over the bill\u2019s provisions on stablecoin yield, illicit finance, developer protections and ethics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some Republicans have also withheld support, meaning that without Democrats\u2019 backing, the bill could stall for a while.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Senate will resume session on 14th September and go for another month-long recess in October. This leaves only September and November as another shot for the bill\u2019s passage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But the chance of passage this year fell to a record low of 14%. On the bill\u2019s outlook, Vincent Chok, founder of First Digital (issuer of FDUSD stablecoin), told AMBCrypto,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The CLARITY Act’s delay creates extended uncertainty around market structure, custody, and oversight at a time when institutions are looking for clear frameworks.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The industry is hopeful it can survive with rulemakings and guidelines from pro-crypto SEC and CFTC.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But the risk is that a new Democratic administration could reverse the agency guidelines, warned Maylea Ma, Deputy General Counsel at 1inch, and Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Final Summary<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Senate Majority Leader Thune pushed the CLARITY Act vote to September amid Democrats\u2019 opposition.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n
  • The chance of the bill\u2019s passage in 2026 fell to a record low of 14%<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
