Senate Banking Committee advances the CLARITY Act on a 15-9 vote

The Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee approved the CLARITY Act 15-9 on May 14, 2026, moving the market-structure bill toward a full Senate vote. The bill still needs 60 votes for cloture on the Senate floor, so Democratic support is required. Open disputes included ethics language and stablecoin yield.
