Thune Schedules Tuesday CLARITY Act Vote as Senate Faces 36-Day Window to Pass Crypto Bill

Summary
A Senate cloture vote on the CLARITY Act is set for Tuesday, with Republicans needing at least a handful of Democrats to reach the 60 votes required to break a filibuster.
Less than 36 business days remain before the new Congress is sworn in for 2027, raising the risk that failure this week could push the crypto-market-structure bill into a chamber with different political control.
Cynthia Lummis warned on Sept. 6 that, without a deal this year, the next realistic chance to pass CLARITY might not come until 2030; Democrats are favored to retake the House, while the Senate outlook is near even.
Crypto PACs including Fairshake are already spending to shape the 2026 midterms, backing lawmakers who support bills such as CLARITY and GENIUS while targeting critics.
Even if Congress shifts, the White House stays Republican until January 2029, and Trump-appointed SEC and CFTC leaders have signaled they would keep advancing digital-asset regulation if CLARITY stalls.
