However, the legislation faced a major setback in the U.S. Senate on September 15, 2026, when lawmakers didn\u2019t approve the procedural motion required to move the bill forward.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/zebpay.com\/in\/blog\/10-cryptos-to-buy-under-one-dollar-in-2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">10 Cryptos to Buy Under $1 in 2026<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Happened_With_the_CLARITY_Act\"><\/span><strong>What Happened With the CLARITY Act?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>On September 15, the U.S. Senate voted on a motion to move the CLARITY Act (H.R. 3633) forward for further consideration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The motion failed by 49 votes to 50, below the 60-vote threshold needed for the bill to proceed under the Senate\u2019s cloture process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The vote came shortly after Senate Republicans unveiled an updated version of the bill on September 14, featuring 126 substantive revisions covering different areas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The setback means the proposed federal framework for digital asset regulation remains unresolved, including the division of oversight responsibilities between the SEC and CFTC.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Although the revised bill didn\u2019t receive sufficient backing in the procedural vote, the outcome doesn\u2019t permanently end the legislation\u2019s legislative process, leaving room for lawmakers to receive it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/zebpay.com\/in\/blog\/lt-enters-indias-tokenized-bond-market\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">L&amp;T Enters India\u2019s Tokenized Bond Market<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts\"><\/span><strong>Final Thoughts<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The September 15 vote marks an important milestone in the CLARITY Act\u2019s legislative journey, but it doesn\u2019t formally end the bill\u2019s prospects. For now, the proposed framework remains unresolved as lawmakers continue to debate issues surrounding digital asset regulation. As things stand, the focus will likely remain on whether further negotiations can produce enough support for the legislation to return to the Senate floor. The ongoing discussions also keep regulatory clarity for digital assets firmly on the legislative agenda. Further engagement among lawmakers could help shape the next phase of the bill and its proposed framework for the digital asset industry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unravel everything that you need for your crypto journey via <a href=\"https:\/\/zebpay.com\/in\/blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>ZebPay blogs<\/strong><\/a>.
