The CLARITY Act: Legislative Status and the Path to Passage

This paper tracks the CLARITY Act's Senate status as of its stated cutoff: passed by the House in July 2025, advanced by the Senate Banking Committee in May 2026, but without a floor vote and unreconciled with its Senate Agriculture companion measure. It identifies the disputes blocking cloture, stablecoin yield, Section 604 law-enforcement access, and officials' conflicts-of-interest ethics provisions, and sets out the 60-vote arithmetic Senate leadership must solve before the bill's 2026 prospects close.
