The Senate has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.senate.gov\/history\/partydiv.htm\">53 Republicans, 45 Democrats and two independents<\/a>. If every Republican supports cloture and all seats are filled, backers would still need at least seven votes from Democrats or independents.<\/p>\n<p>The bill advanced from the Senate Banking Committee in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.banking.senate.gov\/newsroom\/majority\/chairman-scott-senate-banking-committee-advance-clarity-act-in-historic-bipartisan-vote\">bipartisan 15-9 vote<\/a> in May, but that tally does not establish its floor support. Seven Democratic senators, Angela Alsobrooks, Cory Booker, Catherine Cortez Masto, Ruben Gallego, John Hickenlooper, Mark Warner and Raphael Warnock, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallego.senate.gov\/news\/press-releases\/democrats-oppose-current-clarity-text-will-keep-working\/\">said in July<\/a> that the current text fell short on ethics, consumer protection, illicit finance, conflicts of interest and market integrity.<\/p>\n<p>Republican Sen. Jim Risch <a href=\"https:\/\/www.risch.senate.gov\/news\/press-releases\/risch-statement-on-the-clarity-act\/\">supports advancing it<\/a> and described Sept. 15 as the start of the Senate process.

CFTC Chair Michael Selig <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ChairmanSelig\/status\/2090529301854880238\">said Aug. 20<\/a> that the agency would begin taking crypto-market steps under existing authority if CLARITY continued to stall because of what he called Democratic obstruction.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/exec-2a9b554d-0923-4ef7-9ca8-14e035ebb047.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-557195\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/exec-2a9b554d-0923-4ef7-9ca8-14e035ebb047.png\" alt=\"Infographic comparing CLARITY's Sept. 15 Senate cloture test with the CFTC's narrower existing-authority fallback\" width=\"720\" height=\"1402\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Selig's <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cftc.gov\/PressRoom\/SpeechesTestimony\/opaselig1\">January agenda<\/a> included joint work with the Securities and Exchange Commission on how crypto assets fit each regulator's jurisdiction.<\/p>\n<p>It also covered rules for tokenized collateral and leveraged retail transactions, pathways for perpetual derivatives, and possible exemptions or safe harbors. Those actions could shape parts of the market without a new law.<\/p>\n<p>They would not reproduce the regime Congress is considering.<\/p>\n<p>The CFTC can police fraud and manipulation in spot digital commodity markets. It can also regulate derivatives within its jurisdiction, including certain leveraged, margined or financed retail commodity transactions. Selig <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/event\/119th-congress\/senate-event\/337642\/text\">told senators<\/a> that legislation would add a fuller framework for trading-platform registration,
