The U.S. Senate Banking Committee passed the CLARITY Act to the Senate floor on May 14th with a 15-9 bipartisan vote, including two Democratic yes votes, marking the first comprehensive federal crypto regulatory framework to clear a major legislative hurdle.

Led by SBC Chairman Tim Scott, the bill draws a clear line between digital asset securities and commodities, establishes clear transaction rules, and ends the regulation-by-enforcement approach that has stifled crypto innovation in recent years. The bill now heads to a full Senate floor vote. Then to President Donald Trump's desk.
