The CLARITY Act failed to advance in the Senate on September 15, 2026, with a cloture vote of 46 to 43 falling well short of the 60 needed. The bill would have split crypto oversight between the SEC and the CFTC, creating the first comprehensive market structure framework for digital assets in the United States. Seven Democrats who had been in negotiations voted against it. Senator Cynthia Lummis said the effort is over after more than a year of work.
