The U.S. Senate is scheduled to hold its first major floor test of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act on Sept. 15, 2026, with a 2:15 p.m. ET vote on cloture for the motion to proceed to H.R. 3633. The vote is not final passage; it would determine whether the Senate can begin debating the legislation, generally requiring 60 votes. The CLARITY Act would seek to define responsibilities for the SEC and CFTC (U.S. derivatives regulator) in digital-asset markets and create broader rules for crypto trading and issuance. The House approved H.R. 3633 by 294–134 in July 2025, with support from 78 Democrats. The Senate action comes as XRP trades near $1.38 after an August rally was followed by renewed selling. U.S. spot XRP ETFs attracted $110.49 million in the week ending Aug. 28, their strongest weekly inflow of 2026, lifting cumulative inflows to roughly $1.66 billion despite the weaker spot price. XRP is the native token of the XRP Ledger, a network designed for fast settlement and low-cost value transfers. A successful cloture vote would allow the Senate process to continue but would not classify XRP or immediately alter its legal status. The bill would still face debate, amendments and additional votes, followed by negotiations between the House and Senate over differences in their versions. Reuters has identified disputes over ethics provisions, anti-money-laundering safeguards and protections for traditional banks as major obstacles. The vote therefore matters as a measure of progress toward a durable digital-asset framework, rather than as a guaranteed trigger for XRP's price.
