Executive Summary
The advancement of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025 (H.R. 3633), known as the CLARITY Act, represents a pivotal shift in the United States’ regulatory approach to the digital asset economy. On May 14, 2026, the Senate Banking Committee approved the legislation in a 15-9 bipartisan vote, establishing a statutory framework to replace years of enforcement-centric oversight.
The act fundamentally delineates jurisdiction between the SEC and CFTC, integrates digital assets into the traditional banking system by effectively repealing the restrictive SAB 121, and provides statutory protections for self-custody and decentralized finance (DeFi). However, the bill’s progress is hindered by two primary friction points: a fierce macroeconomic dispute between the crypto industry and the traditional banking lobby over stablecoin yield, and a deep partisan divide regarding ethical guardrails for executive branch officials. While prediction markets price a 67% probability of passage in 2026, procedural bottlenecks and a compressed election-year calendar suggest that a final resolution is unlikely until the post-election “lame-duck” session.
