The Senate will vote on the highly anticipated CLARITY Act later today, Tuesday, September 15, 2026. The act seems to be a culmination of the Trump’s administration’s pro-cryptocurrency stance. President Trump has been very vocal about his support for the crypto industry, a sector he has promised to aid even during his Presidential campaigns. Let’s discuss everything we know about the act and if the Senate will pass the act into law or not.
Will The Senate Vote In Favor Of the CLARITY Act?
The CLARITY Act faced substantial barriers over the last few months. The fulcrum of discussion among policymakers was additional ethics language to prevent people in power from benefiting from the cryptocurrency market. The discussion especially eyed President Donald Trump’s own crypto empire. The Trump family has reportedly made more than $1 billion in profits from the cryptocurrency market since President Trump took office in January 2025. However, President Trump has agreed to the ethics language. We may see his name being removed from his family’s cryptocurrency ventures. This point was a major objection to several lawmakers and it may make things easier for the Senate.
Secondly, explicit protections against criminal prosecution were dropped. This was done to address certain prosecutors’ concerns. While it may appear as a defeat for developers, it could give better Senate support. Moreover, the updated bill has given more protections for developers, miners, and validators who don’t control customer funds.
The revised bill also includes a stablecoin circuit breaker. This would allow the US Treasury to intervene if community banks face widespread deposit outflows.

Given that many of the points of contestation have been addressed, there is a high chance that the Senate will vote in favor of the CLARITY Act. There is also a chance that the cryptocurrency market will see a sudden spike in investments after the bill is passed.
