CLARITY Act 2.0: What Happens to US Crypto Regulation After the Senate Defeat

  • —Senate rejected cloture on H.R. 3633 by 49-50, short of the 60-vote threshold
  • —Bitcoin briefly fell below $75,000 on the vote; Coinbase shares dropped about 8%, Circle about 10%
  • —Lummis published new substitute text drawn from the Banking and Agriculture committees
  • —Fewer than 36 legislative days remain before the new Congress is sworn in in January 2027
Why it matters: Regulatory clarity is no longer a near-term catalyst: SEC and CFTC guidance, not statute, will shape US crypto rules.
