CLARITY Act Delayed Again as Senate Lacks Votes for Crypto Reform

The US Senate has delayed a critical step on the Digital Asset Market Structure CLARITY Act, raising fresh doubts about whether Congress can pass long-awaited crypto rules in 2026.

Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman John Boozman said his committee will postpone its planned markup of the bill until the last week of January. 

The session had been scheduled to take place alongside the Senate Banking Committee’s markup this Thursday. Boozman said the delay aims to preserve bipartisan support.
