Senate CLARITY Act vote nears as Scott team and Democrats clash over safeguards

  • Republicans said they made 126 Democratic-requested changes to the CLARITY Act during more than a year of negotiations.
  • Democrats rejected the latest Republican offer and submitted a counterproposal seeking additional consumer, national-security, market-integrity, ethics and law-enforcement safeguards.
  • The Senate scheduled a 2:15 p.m. ET cloture vote requiring 60 votes to begin consideration of H.R. 3633.

Senate Republicans and Democrats remained at odds over the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, or CLARITY Act, hours before a scheduled September 15, 2026, cloture vote. Tim Scott's office said Republicans made 126 substantive changes requested by Democrats during more than a year of negotiations, while Democrats rejected the latest offer and submitted a counterproposal seeking additional consumer, national-security, market-integrity, ethics and law-enforcement safeguards. Scott's office accused Democrats of "moving the goalposts again." The 2:15 p.m. ET vote on H.R. 3633 is a procedural test requiring 60 votes to begin Senate consideration, not a final vote on enactment.
