The U.S. Senate failed to advance the more than 600-page Digital Asset Markets CLARITY Act, H.R. 3633, in a 49-50 cloture vote conducted on September 15, 2026, and reported in Beijing time as early September 16. The motion fell 11 votes short of the 60 needed to open debate, but the procedural defeat was not a final rejection. Every voting Democrat and independent opposed it, joined by Republicans Susan Collins, Josh Hawley, Jerry Moran and Thom Tillis. The result leaves disputes over presidential crypto interests, stablecoin rewards, community-bank safeguards, CFTC staffing, decentralized finance and anti-money-laundering rules unresolved, delaying comprehensive market-structure legislation while the SEC and CFTC retain greater discretion.
