US Senate faces narrowing window to move CLARITY Act as Bitwise sees rally risk if deadline slips
AI Market Summary
The Senate appears unlikely to advance the CLARITY Act before recess, lowering near-term odds of a federal market-structure framework and keeping SEC/CFTC jurisdiction uncertainty in focus. Bitwise argues that a clear collapse in passage expectations could ultimately reduce the "waiting for Washington" overhang, while a prolonged, ambiguous process would be more disruptive. Near-term, the headline is primarily volatility-driving via shifting regulatory probabilities.

The US Senate has not scheduled a vote on the CLARITY Act in its final week before recess, leaving limited time to advance the bill that would set a federal framework for digital commodities and split oversight between the SEC and CFTC. Polymarket data show the implied probability of enactment in 2026 has fallen to 14%, down from more than 80% in February. The House passed the bill 294-134 in July 2025. Bitwise said missing the deadline could ultimately set up a crypto-market rebound.
