January 3, 2027 — Possibility that the current version of the Clarity Act could be scrapped… 60 Senate votes are key

The CLARITY Act, the U.S. crypto market-structure bill, will be automatically discarded on January 3, 2027, when the 119th Congress ends, unless it secures 60 bipartisan Senate votes before then. If the current draft dies, lawmakers would have to reintroduce the bill and negotiate a fresh compromise in the next Congress. The 60-vote threshold for Senate floor consideration has been the central obstacle throughout the debate. The report sharpens the timeline for the bill's possible demise, which had previously been framed only as a risk of being rewritten or dropped. The Digital Chamber is cited in the coverage, though the article excerpt cuts off its comments. What to watch next is whether Senate leaders can assemble a 60-vote coalition before the 2027 deadline.
