McCormick urges Senate action on the CLARITY Act
McCormick pressed his Senate colleagues to bring the digital-asset market structure bill to the floor, a single crypto-news outlet reported. No original statement, transcript, or press release confirming the appeal was independently obtained. For related coverage, see Senate Republicans Unveil CLARITY Act Text Before Sept. 15 Vote.
The report attributes the push to social media but provides no link to an original post or the exact wording. Treat the senator’s rationale as unconfirmed. For related coverage, see Schumer Calls Sunday Crypto Bill Caucus Ahead of Senate Vote.
What is documented is the legislation itself. The House-engrossed text of H.R. 3633 carries the short title Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025, or CLARITY Act of 2025, per the official 119th Congress text.
That version proposes a digital-commodity framework splitting oversight between the SEC and the CFTC. It includes Title III on SEC registration of intermediaries and Title IV on CFTC registration of digital commodity intermediaries, along with sections 309 and 409 excluding certain decentralized finance activities.
Tuesday is the requested timing, not a confirmed schedule
The appeal names Tuesday as the day McCormick wants a vote. But urging a vote is not the same as scheduling one.
No official Senate calendar or Congressional Record entry was obtained to confirm a vote, its date, or whether any action is even planned for that day. The specific calendar date stays unspecified until a dated official source supports it.
Others have pointed to a mid-September window, as reflected in earlier coverage of Senate Republicans unveiling CLARITY Act text ahead of a September 15 vote and reporting that the SEC chair expects the Senate to pass the bill. None of that confirms the Tuesday timing in this appeal.
Where the industry stands, and what happens next
The bill has drawn advocacy support. In a May 13, 2026 letter, Coin Center executive director Peter Van Valkenburgh backed the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act.
“On behalf of Coin Center, I write to express our support for the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act.” — Peter Van Valkenburgh, Coin Center
That letter welcomed Section 604 of the then-current Senate draft for incorporating Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act protections for developers of non-custodial blockchain technology. Note the caveat: that section reference belongs to the Senate draft Coin Center discussed, not the House-engrossed version.
The version details matter because the pending Senate text has not been publicly verified here. Recent coverage of a revised CLARITY Act addressing DeFi and prediction markets underscores how much the draft has moved, and industry voices like Ripple’s Stuart Alderoty urging crypto holders to weigh in show the stakes.
The available material does not confirm whether the Senate has scheduled a vote, whether any vote would be procedural or final passage, or what the outcome might be. Each of those would require a sourced official record.
So the real question hanging over Tuesday: is this a bill about to move, or a senator shouting into a chamber that hasn’t yet agreed to listen?
