Clarity Act Wins Committee Approval – Here’s the Realistic Timeline for Full Senate Vote

Summary:

• Committee vote: 15-9 bipartisan passage on May 14, 2026
• Democratic supporters: Sen. Ruben Gallego, Sen. Angela Alsobrooks
• Next step: Merge with Agriculture Committee version → full Senate floor vote (needs 60 votes)
• Timeline: Full Senate vote in June/July 2026, then House reconciliation if needed, before August recess
• Polymarket odds: 60‑65% for becoming law in 2026 – up sharply after today’s committee win
• White House push: Helps, but timeline could slip to June–August

The Clarity Act just cleared a major hurdle. On May 14, 2026, the Senate Banking Committee advanced the bill in a 15-9 bipartisan vote. Two Democrats – Senators Ruben Gallego and Angela Alsobrooks – voted in favor. The next stop is the full Senate.

The Agriculture Committee has already marked up its CFTC‑related portion of the bill. Now those two versions will merge into one bill ahead of a full Senate floor vote. According to recent reports, the full Senate vote is expected in June or July 2026. If the bill passes the Senate, it will go to House reconciliation if needed. The target is to finish before the August recess.

The bill still needs 60 votes on the Senate floor. Bipartisan support is key. The White House is pushing for passage, but the timeline could slip to June–August. Solid momentum exists, but it is not a lock.

Current odds on Polymarket sit around 60% to 65% for the Clarity Act becoming law in 2026. That is up sharply after today’s 15-9 committee win. The market sees real progress, but passage is not guaranteed.

The crypto market will now watch the Senate floor schedule closely. Any delay beyond July 4 could push the final vote into September, but the bipartisan committee vote gives supporters a strong base to lobby undecided senators. For now, the bill is alive and moving.

The Clarity Act advanced out of the Senate Banking Committee on a bipartisan 15-9 vote. Two Democrats supported it. The bill now heads to the full Senate, with a vote expected in June or July. Polymarket odds rose to 60‑65%. Momentum is there, but 60 Senate votes are still needed.
