According to unconfirmed reports, the Senate has slated a vote on the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act for Tuesday. No official floor calendar, unanimous-consent agreement or committee notice confirming that timing was obtained, and the exact calendar date, time and vote type remain unresolved.

That distinction matters. A scheduled vote is not a completed vote, and the research does not establish whether the planned action is a committee vote, a procedural floor motion or final passage. Readers should not read Tuesday as the day the bill becomes law. For related coverage, see US House Cancels Vote on Crypto Bills Amidst Procedural Failures.
What version of the CLARITY Act is under consideration?
The bill traces back to the House. The official House-engrossed document identifies it as H.R. 3633 in the 119th Congress, carrying the short title Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025.
Its stated purpose is to regulate offers and sales of digital commodities through the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Title III covers registration for intermediaries at the SEC; Title IV covers registration for digital commodity intermediaries at the CFTC.
The House text also carves out room for decentralized finance. Sections 309 and 409 are each titled “Exclusion for decentralized finance activities,” and the current draft has drawn scrutiny for how it treats DeFi and prediction markets.
Beyond market structure, Section 1 also names the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, and Title VI proposes restrictions involving Federal Reserve banks and central bank digital currency. These are proposed provisions of the House version, not enacted law, and the operative Senate text has not been independently verified.
Whether the measure heading to a vote matches that House text is an open question. Senate Republicans have circulated their own language, including a CLARITY Act text tied to a September 15 vote, underscoring that the Senate draft is a moving target.
What could happen after Tuesday’s vote?
The path forward depends entirely on which procedural step Tuesday represents, and that has not been confirmed. A committee or procedural vote advances the bill; only final passage in both chambers, followed by a presidential signature, enacts it.
Industry voices have been tracking the bill’s Senate journey closely. In a May 14, 2026 analysis, Coin Center’s Peter Van Valkenburgh, Jason Somensatto and Lizandro Pieper wrote that the CLARITY Act advanced through the Senate Banking Committee with the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act included, and argued against sacrificing its developer protections during floor negotiations.
“The legislative process is not over, and there will undoubtedly be more debate before the Senate votes on final passage.”
— Peter Van Valkenburgh, Jason Somensatto and Lizandro Pieper, Coin Center, May 14, 2026
That caution is a reminder that committee advancement and final Senate passage are distinct milestones. Coin Center’s concern centers on protections for developers who never control customer assets, which the group fears could be traded away in floor talks.
The bill also arrives against a backdrop of prior stumbles. The House itself once cancelled a vote on crypto bills amid procedural failures, a reminder that scheduled crypto votes do not always happen on time. Prediction markets have, meanwhile, put the odds of CLARITY passing in focus.
Until an official Senate notice surfaces confirming the date, stage and type of vote, the Tuesday timeline stays a tip, not a certainty. Will the Senate actually gavel in on Tuesday, or is this another crypto vote that slips?
