The U.S. Senate is moving closer to a major vote on crypto market-structure legislation.
Senate Republicans have released the latest draft of the CLARITY Act, featuring revised provisions on crypto regulation and new ethics language reportedly approved by the White House.
The legislation is designed to establish clearer rules for the U.S. digital-asset industry, including how cryptocurrencies, exchanges, DeFi platforms and other digital-asset businesses are regulated.
One of the key changes in the latest draft involves ethics requirements for government officials and crypto-related interests, an issue that has become an important part of negotiations with Democrats.
The bill also addresses DeFi and prediction markets, potentially creating new regulatory requirements for certain platforms.
Why Tuesday Matters
The Senate is expected to vote on the bill on Tuesday, September 15. However, the vote is a procedural step rather than final passage. The legislation needs enough bipartisan support to move forward.
If the CLARITY Act eventually becomes law, it could provide the crypto industry with greater regulatory certainty and help define the roles of the SEC and CFTC in overseeing digital assets.
For crypto investors, Tuesday's vote could therefore be an important moment to watch.
The question now is simple: can lawmakers reach the 60-vote threshold needed to move the bill forward?
