The upcoming critical moment for the US Congress's cryptocurrency regulatory framework is approaching. The Senate Banking Committee has confirmed that it will formally review the "Crypto Market Structure Act" on January 15, 2026 (Thursday), commonly known as the CLARITY Act in the industry.

Time is tight. Committee Chairman Tim Scott is resolute, stating that the committee will "do its utmost" to complete the vote and clear all legislative hurdles before the federal spending deadline on January 30 — this timing is crucial because missing it could mean the government faces another shutdown risk.

This is not just a procedural vote. The outcome of the review will directly impact whether the bill can proceed to a full Senate discussion, which in turn will determine whether the US will implement a comprehensive, systematic national digital asset policy framework in 2026. What does this mean for the crypto market? It means that the long-standing regulatory status issue may finally have an answer.

The global financial community is holding its breath in anticipation of this moment. On the eve of the vote, market attention is unprecedented, as this concerns the US policy direction in the Web3 era and the future institutional development of the global crypto ecosystem.

Finally, the day has come. The CLARITY bill is up for a vote... January 15th. Hold your breath and watch how the US plays it. This is no joke this time. Tim Scott is firm in his stance and must get it done before January 30th. Decades of suspense, the regulatory boots are about to land. If it falls through before January 30th, there will be another shutdown? The US government’s move is incredible. With this pace, will we see a national-level crypto policy framework by the end of this year? I find it hard to believe. So, the spring of Web3 depends on this vote, and the whole world is watching.

Wait, can the CLARITY Act really pass? Feels like more bickering --- Voting on January 15th... Can we not drag it out this time, I'm really exhausted --- Scott seems to be serious about this, should we place a bet? --- This is a critical moment. If it really passes this time, the entire market could explode --- Hold your breath? We're almost suffocating, how long have we been waiting? --- US policy framework? It'll probably be a bunch of rules restricting innovation again --- Deadline is January 30th... Betting that this time it will really be settled --- Haha, "doing our best again," I'm tired of hearing that phrase --- Years of uncertainty finally coming to an end? Take it with a grain of salt first --- Looking at the US from a global perspective, this time we really can't hold on anymore

ngl, jan 15th vote sounds cleaner on paper than it'll actually play out... government deadlines? never seen those hold up under pressure tbh. the real question is whether clarity act even survives contact with reality or just gets watered down like everything else does

Coming back with this again? CLARITY to CLARITY, and in the end, it's just delayed. I bet five bucks this will be dragged out until the end of the year.
