House Republicans shortened the September calendar by eight Senate voting days, reducing the time available for a planned September 15 cloture vote on the CLARITY Act. The motion requires 60 senators to end a filibuster and begin formal debate, but would not complete Senate consideration. The bill would divide digital-asset oversight between the SEC (U.S. securities regulator) and CFTC (U.S. derivatives regulator), while barring U.S. government officials and their spouses, including the president, from holding or promoting crypto. Momentum in August helped Bitcoin ETFs attract $3.3 billion after $4.5 billion of outflows in June, while Bitcoin rose 25.7% as treasury firms resumed purchases. The House passed its version 294 to 134 in July 2025, but Senate committees produced separate text that must be reconciled with the House bill. A 12-to-11 party-line vote in Senate Agriculture underscored the measure’s narrow path. If Senate changes arrive after the late-September cancellations, a second House vote would be pushed to a post-election session scheduled to begin with the next voting day on November 9.
