January 7, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee officially scheduled a review of the "Crypto Market Structure Act" (CLARITY Act) on Thursday, January 15, 2026. Committee Chairman Tim Scott emphasized that the committee will "spare no effort" to hold a formal vote, racing against the clock to clear legislative hurdles before the federal spending deadline on January 30, to avoid the potential impact of another government shutdown. After the vote, the bill will be submitted to the full Senate for consideration. As the January 15 vote approaches, the global financial community is closely watching, as the outcome will determine whether 2026 will become the year the United States finally establishes comprehensive national digital era policies.
