SEPTEMBER 15: THE BIGGEST CRYPTO REGULATORY VOTE OF 2026 IS LOCKED IN The U.S. Senate has scheduled a key procedural vote on the CLARITY Act for Tuesday, September 15 at 2:15 p.m. ET. This is not final passage. It is cloture on the motion to proceed, the first real floor test that needs 60 votes just to open formal debate. Quick facts: House already passed it in July 2025, 294 to 134. Senate Banking advanced it in May 2026, 15 to 9. Thune filed the cloture motion in early August. Key fights left: ethics rules, money laundering provisions, and stablecoin rewards. Prediction markets price the chance of the full bill becoming law in 2026 at around 20%. This is the clearest timeline crypto has had all year. Mark the date.
