Stephanie Starr: The Clarity Act Process is Officially Moving Deeper
5-29-2026
The CLARITY Act process is officially moving deeper into the Senate process and honestly… this is probably the furthest we’ve seen real crypto legislation progress in a long time.
Banking Committee markup completed
Banking Committee approval passed
Agriculture Committee + Banking Committee now working to merge the final text
Final Senate version expected next
Senate floor scheduling after that
Senate debate & vote
Presidential signature
Senator Lummis said after markup that it could take around 3 weeks to:
merge the language,
finalize the text,
and attempt to get it on the Senate floor.
Today marks the 2-week point since markup… meaning we may be entering the most important stretch of the process right now. This isn’t just XRP people watching anymore:
the White House is talking crypto,
the SEC is talking crypto,
the CFTC is talking crypto,
senators are publicly engaging,
and industry leaders are openly pushing for regulatory clarity.
“When does this become a live Senate floor event?” Because once that happens… the conversation changes completely.
Time is running short.
Congress is scheduled to return from the Memorial Day recess on Tuesday, June 3, 2026.
That’s one reason a lot of crypto watchers are circling the first half of June- possible merged CLARITY Act text, and potential Senate floor scheduling activity.
If leadership wants movement before the July 4th recess as President Trump wants, June becomes the key working window.
All eyes on Crypto from June 4th-June 26th.
US Senate Banking Committee: Chairman @SenatorTimScott agrees with @USTreasury@SecScottBessent: it is time to make America the crypto capital of the world. That is why he advanced the Clarity Act through a bipartisan markup to deliver clear rules of the road and bring crypto innovation onshore.
