US Clarity Act: Will it pass?

[Abiky]

It's only right for alts, but not for bitcoin. The fact that bitcoin gets no benefit from this draft because it's a legitimate asset because it's considered as a commodity in US and ruled under CTFC. So this draft is only making the altcoin to be seen in the same state as bitcoin(commodity).

On other hand, seeing so many democrats who feel contradicted with this makes me skeptical this will be passed.

Right. Because altcoins are considered as securities by the US government. I remember when former SEC chairman Gary Gensler used to classify altcoins as securities. The Clarity Act might be the ideal solution for altcoin adoption. But I'm having my doubts whenever it will pass and become law.

Like I've stated before, there's too much resistance from Democrats. At least we know, Bitcoin will carry on as usual regardless of what regulatory approach the US government takes. Only if it remains decentralized and censorship-resistant, of course.

Not this year, but the chance will be higher next year, I don't think Clarity Act will go through on 14-15 september vote because it's near midterms and even if there is enough time, the Democratic side wants broader restriction to bar the President and families from issuing or sponsoring digital assets, even the already operating ones. FYI, the odd in prediction market for the Clarity Act to pass is low for 2026 but pretty high for Q3 of 2027 around 70% if I remember correctly.

Crazy how most people think it won’t be passed this year, I mean the majority must have a good sense of this as I feel like anything can happen but usually the majority rules. I think there is still hope to pass in the next few months but it would take a miracle and I would have to agree that most likely this will happen in 2027. Shoot if hope it did though, could you imagine the bull market that would ensure once it does pass?

It seems the senate focus into other factor so apparently this year there is no chance for the Clarity act to get passed but for sure there are more need for the supporting details, so if ever this will get passed is there is a potential for being cleared how does the actual process and gets regulate some of the establishment now will applied the use of the crypto because now this will considered as a legal so for me still hoping at 2026, but it seems if this happen after halving possible there is a huge market surge might happen.

According to my information the future of the American Clarity Act is still pending due to differences and I think the final vote on it in the Senate has been postponed until mid-September 2026 due to sharp disagreements over the ethics clauses and the stability of the banking system.

If the law is passed with the amendments that most crypto companies have agreed to, I think it will be in the best interest of the industry in general because it will create a more open environment. But if some clauses are amended to align with the interests of banks and bankers it will most likely not be positive.

OP; We need to be clear about how the voting is going, especially now that it has been moved to September. And what a coincidence; it happens to be Septemberbear month. Anyway, if they don't get enough votes, it won't happen; but the fight continues. I think it will return to the spotlight in 2027. In any case, even if it gets approved, I don't think its effect will be immediate, as some are predicting for a new ATH.

US Clarity Act: Will it pass?

Thune on Saturday filed for "cloture," setting up a September 15 vote on whether to limit debate ​on the bill and advance it to a full floor vote. That requires 60 votes, and will be a key test of whether the bill has a future. A failed cloture vote could effectively kill the bill, lobbyists said.

Banks working overtime to ensure stablecoin has no yield and there will be no capital flights and democrat still heavily opposes the bill because of Trump and family. If the bill is to pass in the future, it'd be the watered down version, I'm betting that parts of the bill will be changed or even removed altogether especially regarding AML.

US Clarity Act: Will it pass?

The Republicans are the main backers of the Clarity Act. There are also a handful of Democrats who support the passing of the Bill. Not getting a vote on the bill before the midterm election could reduce the chances of it becoming a law. The Republicans might lose some seats in the elections, which might reduce their dominance or majority in Congress. With Trump's approval rating is dropping, Democrats might take advantage of it. If this happens, it will be challenging to secure the necessary votes to pass the bill in 2027. This September is the best time to hold the vote on the Clarity Act.

I’m sure it will pass and it sounds like it’ll happen before the end of the year. Maybe this will be something that people will rally over or maybe it will mark the bottom. I don’t really see how it will benefit Bitcoin at all but a lot of people seem to think it will so maybe I’m wrong.

Plans to pass the bill is on track but i really don't understand why the senate is stalling to pass it, but since the majority senate leader has made motion for a vote to start maybe the senate would have a sitting on pass it by late September or mid October, passing the clarity act is very important for the crypto community at large so it's really needed, although the August deadline for it has passed and the odds to pass it reduce but I'm hopeful that they'll a sitting on it next month.

Basically, most of the provisions in the bill have strong support from both parties. Only a few provisions are still facing opposition from Democrats, with the strongest opposition being to the ethics provision related to Trump and his family's interest in the industry.

So if that provision is removed, I think the bill will eventually pass even if Democrats take control of the House.

The bill is necessary because it gives the government a way to regulate crypto more closely, and both parties understand that better than anyone. So, it will eventually pass despite the current delay.

[BlackHatCoiner]

Will it pass? Eventually, probably. Although expect Congress to keep kicking the can with delays and lobbyist concessions until it barely resembles the original document.

Whether that is good or bad depends on where you come from. If you're solely interested in pouring liquidity from Wall Street into Bitcoin, then you'll love it.

[Renampun]

do you think the Clarity Act will pass? Or will it become a failure?

I'm sure that this Clarity Act will pass the Legislature.. as we know that now more institutions are becoming more involved in the crypto industry, and they do not want to miss the opportunity to be able to pass laws that will regulate the crypto industry.. but it may take some time until the bill actually gets passed, since there are still issues that need to be resolved before the law is passed, and there may be changes to the content and points in the law, and it is unlikely that it can be completed within this year.. but it will surely pass in parliament.

Isn't it very obvious, the bill needs bipartisan support to pass, and so, the Republicans need to make concessions to get a number of Democrats on their side, in order for the bill to pass. Right now it is proving difficult, as the Dems are focused on their hatred for Trump and expressing it through their push for a strong ethics provision. If the bill does not pass this year, then it would become more difficult if the Republicans lose seats in the new congress that will begin on January 3, 2027.

The clarity act will pass certainly it's just taking as it's supposed to, considering the position where the US as at now based on world power, it's only normal that it's taking this long.

The clarity act will cause a little shift in the economy of the US, shifts that some businesses(banks) are not yet ready to accommodate, as for its effect to Bitcoin, I think Bitcoin is only going up from this point, and clarity act won't stop that from happening.
