The U.S. Senate has postponed the vote on the Clarity Act, formally known as the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (H.R. 3633), until after its August recess. This delay has led to a notable decrease in market confidence regarding the bill’s chances of becoming law in 2026. The Clarity Act, which aims to establish clear regulatory frameworks for digital assets, had previously been approved by the House in July 2025 and advanced by the Senate Banking Committee in May 2026. The Senate Majority Leader, John Thune, indicated that a floor vote is unlikely to occur before the Senate reconvenes, pushing the earliest possibility for consideration to September. This postponement has significantly impacted prediction markets, with the odds of the Act being signed into law by the end of 2026 falling sharply.
