CLARITY法案若2026年未通过，或于2027年重写或被搁置

The U.S. Senate plans to hold a cloture vote on the CLARITY Act (Clear Lending and Intermediation for Yield Act) on Tuesday. The bill needs 60 votes to end debate. If it fails to advance with a three-fifths majority, fewer than 36 legislative days remain before 2027.

Senator Cynthia Lummis, a supporter of the CLARITY Act, said on September 6 that if lawmakers cannot reach an agreement and send the bill to the President for signature, the next real opportunity for passage may not come until 2030. The 2026 midterm elections will see all 435 House seats and 33 Senate seats up for election.

Regardless of whether Democrats regain control of one or both chambers of Congress in the midterms, the White House will remain under Republican control until January 2029, and the President could veto the bill. Paul Atkins, nominated to chair the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and Michael Selig, nominated to chair the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), have both stated that if the CLARITY Act does not advance this year, they will continue to move forward with digital asset regulation.
