CLARITY Act Urgent Update: Senate Committee Could Vote as Soon as Tomorrow

The push for US crypto regulation just got more urgent. As reported by Eleanor Terrett, the Senate Banking Committee is preparing to notice a markup for the CLARITY Act as soon as tomorrow, with draft legislative text already circulated to select industry members ahead of a potential Thursday vote, according to multiple sources who have seen the document.

The language is still being finalized, with additional edits expected to reflect priorities from Democratic offices. One source described the overall mood after reviewing the bill as positive, though some bracketed sections are raising concerns that provisions previously thought to be settled may still be in flux.

The July 4 Target Is Real

White House digital assets adviser Patrick Witt confirmed at Consensus Miami this week that the administration is targeting July 4 for House passage of the CLARITY Act. The timeline is tight.

Only four active Senate weeks are available in June, meaning the bill needs to clear the Senate Banking Committee quickly to have any realistic chance of reaching a floor vote before the summer deadline. “We are in the red zone,” Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott said this week.

The Public Wants It Done

New polling from HarrisX makes the political case even clearer. A survey of 2,008 registered voters found that 52% support the CLARITY Act after receiving a neutral explanation of the bill. Only 11% oppose it. Support crossed party lines, with Democrats, Republicans, and Independent voters all backing the legislation.

The numbers go further. 70% of voters believe the US should have already passed crypto legislation. 60% prefer clear federal rules over regulation through lawsuits and enforcement actions.

National Security Becoming a Key Argument

One of the biggest drivers behind the growing support appears to be national security concerns.

According to the survey, a majority of voters believe digital payment systems controlled outside the U.S. could weaken American financial influence and national security. Nearly half of the respondents also said offshore crypto activity outside U.S. oversight is becoming a growing problem.

The findings suggest voters increasingly want the U.S. to lead global digital finance rather than allowing foreign jurisdictions to shape the industry.

What Happens Next?

On top, prediction market Polymarket currently places the odds of the CLARITY Act passing in 2026 at around 67%. For now, the focus shifts to the upcoming Senate Banking Committee markup, which could become the next major step toward finally establishing clear crypto rules in the U.S.
