Bitcoin retreats from $79,000 to $77,800 as the U.S. Senate prepares to vote on the Clarity Act while rising oil prices add pressure.
CCoinDeskOriginal★★☆☆☆2026-09-15 03:23
The Clarity Act could provide banks, brokers and asset managers with clearer rules, but financial firms are already deeply involved in digital assets. If the legislation fails, adoption may slow, yet Wall Street’s crypto expansion is unlikely to end.
CCoinDeskOriginal★★☆☆☆2026-09-14 23:43
SEC Chair Paul Atkins supports the Clarity Act but says the agency will continue advancing crypto regulation even without the legislation. He identified crypto issuance, transfer-agent modernization and custody as the foundation of that regulatory effort.
Sen. Cynthia Lummis, one of Washington’s leading negotiators on crypto market structure, says Democrats will keep pressing for additional revisions to the Clarity Act. She says she has run out of energy for new changes to the bill, which she has worked on for more than five years.

The Senate is set for a consequential Tuesday vote on sweeping cryptocurrency legislation, with the bill’s chances of securing enough support to pass still uncertain.
Firelight plans to use FXRP deposited in its Flare vault as collateral for protection sold to DeFi protocols, with premiums generating yield for depositors. The trade-off is reduced liquidity: withdrawals could take just over 30 days or nearly 60 days once 30-day coverage periods begin. Rewards stop when unstaking starts, and eligible claims may reduce the final payout.

President Donald Trump's digital assets adviser spoke at a Washington event one day after new compromise language was released for the Clarity Act, saying Trump had surrendered what were described as historic ethics powers in the deal.
Donald Trump is pressing a crypto bill as the industry’s conflict with banks intensifies. At a White House gathering last month, he praised Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong as “one of the greats” and called Gemini Space Station co-founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss “tremendous investors, brilliant people.”
Opposition to the CLARITY Act continued to grow ahead of Tuesday’s Senate cloture vote, despite Republicans releasing a version they called final that incorporated 126 Democratic requests. Banking groups, Democrats, state attorneys general and developer advocates still objected to provisions on ethics, stablecoin rewards, state enforcement and deposit flight, putting the 60-vote threshold at risk.
Eight banking groups said Monday that they want stricter limits on stablecoin rewards, keeping the dispute between banks and the crypto industry alive in Congress as the Senate prepares to vote on the Clarity Act.
Onchain records show that an $800 million cryptocurrency stake matching Donald Trump’s holding was placed in a vesting contract. Sales are locked until 2028 after a mandatory 10% token burn.

Senate Republicans revised key sections of the CLARITY Act in a bid to win Democratic votes. The final draft focuses on four unresolved disputes: crypto ethics rules for federal officials, a stablecoin deposit-flight safeguard for community banks, the scope of developer protections and tighter oversight of digital-commodity intermediaries. It faces a 60-vote procedural test Tuesday.
Bettors on Kalshi and Polymarket sharply increased the odds that U.S. legislation establishing a crypto market structure will advance. Tuesday’s Senate vote is the next test, though the bill still has a lengthy path ahead.
New York Attorney General Letitia James led 17 bipartisan attorneys general in urging lawmakers to reject the Clarity Act, a piece of cryptocurrency legislation, ahead of the Senate’s initial vote.
Blockchain Association executive Summer Mersinger writes that the Senate can show on September 15 that it is capable of addressing issues within a reasonable timeframe, rather than waiting for the next market failure before acting.
The revised Clarity Act draft would require divestiture and allow state attorneys general to sue to enforce its ethics provision, which Donald Trump has agreed to.
President Donald Trump agreed to broader conflict-of-interest rules and state-level enforcement powers to secure the key Senate votes needed for the Clarity Act.
By agreeing to ethics limits he had opposed for a long time, U.S. President Donald Trump has enabled the CLARITY Act to move past its final barrier. The Senate is due to hold a pivotal vote Tuesday on the proposal, described as the most consequential cryptocurrency lawmaking effort ever attempted in the country.

New Federal Reserve data show U.S. domestic hedge funds expanded their gross balance sheets from $2.7857 trillion to $3.1859 trillion in the second quarter.

The bill includes ethics restrictions for officials with major crypto interests, a stablecoin circuit breaker and narrowed developer protections. Senators are due to hold a 60-vote cloture test on Tuesday.
