The CLARITY Act faces legislative stagnation as the US Senate returns.

TechFlow reported on September 13 that, according to CoinDesk, as the U.S. Senate officially returns to Washington following its September recess, the prospects for advancing the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act) have once again become highly uncertain. The bill currently occupies a legislative gray area, with the Senate having not yet announced a definitive schedule for voting or hearings upon its return.

H.R. 3633 aims to clearly delineate the regulatory jurisdiction of the SEC and CFTC over digital assets. The bill was passed by the House of Representatives in a bipartisan vote of 294 to 134 in July 2025 and received preliminary support from the Senate Banking Committee in May 2026 with a 15 to 9 vote. However, due to the Senate's recess schedule and election calendar considerations, key votes on the bill have been postponed until after mid-August. Lawmakers have not yet issued public statements regarding its next steps.
