The U.S. Senate failed to advance the CLARITY Act with a 49-50 vote, falling short of the 60 votes needed to proceed. This procedural defeat significantly lowers the likelihood of the bill becoming law in 2026, with prediction markets dropping its chances from about 30% to 5%.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 36 sources have reported it between 23 Jul 2026 and 16 Sep 2026.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Crypto founders in the US face a sharper regulatory pause as bipartisan support for key legislation collapses. Move quickly to adjust strategies that rely on clear federal crypto rules or tilt towards states with friendlier policies.
