Senate Sets Jan. 15 Markup for CLARITY Act Market Structure Bill
Senate leaders have penciled in Jan. 15, 2026 for a committee markup of the CLARITY Act, the long‑awaited market‑structure bill for digital assets, people familiar with the process told reporters. The move brings the measure back into focus after months of drafting and lobbying, opening the door to amendments and a formal committee vote. If enacted, the CLARITY Act is intended to provide clearer regulatory guardrails for exchanges, custodians and stablecoins, which industry participants say could reduce uncertainty and accelerate institutional participation. The markup will be watched closely by market participants, crypto firms and regulators alike, since outcomes there will shape how the bill moves through the Senate and what standards ultimately reach law.
