What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The crypto industry was pursuing a major legislative win through the Clarity Act, which aimed to establish light-touch regulation over crypto assets. This effort ultimately failed on a procedural vote in the Senate on September 15, 2026, falling short of the required 60-vote majority. The setbacks stemmed from revelations about the lucrative crypto businesses of Donald Trump and his family, which led to growing scrutiny of his conflicts of interest.
