The US CLARITY Act is set to advance to a Senate Banking Committee vote on May 14, marking a major development for the cryptocurrency industry in the United States.

Senate Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott confirmed the markup date, prompting strong reactions from crypto companies and policy advocates seeking clearer digital asset regulations.

Coinbase Chief Policy Officer Faryar Shirzad described the scheduled vote as a significant step forward for innovation and regulatory certainty.

The legislation was first introduced in July 2025 and aims to establish a comprehensive framework for digital assets, stablecoins, and decentralized finance.

However, the bill faced delays earlier this year after Coinbase withdrew support over concerns surrounding legal protections for open-source developers, restrictions on stablecoin yield products, and proposed DeFi regulations.

The upcoming markup is now viewed as a critical moment that could shape the future of crypto regulation, innovation, and investment activity across the United States.
