DescriptionThe U.S. Senate scheduled a cloture vote (motion to proceed) on the CLARITY Act — the crypto market-structure bill that passed the House 294-134 — for September 15, 2026. Cloture requires 60 votes to overcome a filibuster and formally begin debate. Sentiment has soured amid partisan disputes over SEC-evasion, DeFi, and consumer-protection concerns, making the outcome genuinely contested.
This event resolves YES if a recorded U.S. Senate roll-call vote on the cloture motion (motion to proceed) for the CLARITY Act reaches at least 60 "Yea" votes and the motion is agreed to, on or before September 30, 2026, 23:59 UTC.
This event resolves NO if such a cloture vote fails to reach 60 "Yea" votes, or no such recorded cloture vote occurs by the deadline.
1. Specificity: Only the official recorded Senate roll-call tally on the cloture/motion-to-proceed for the CLARITY Act counts. 60+ Yea = YES.
2. Exclusion: Voice votes, unanimous consent agreements, House votes, committee votes, later final-passage votes, or a different bill do not count. A vote postponed/rescheduled past the deadline resolves NO.
3. Source Hierarchy: Senate.gov official roll-call record priority. Congress.gov secondary. Major wire services (AP/Reuters) tertiary.
4. Timing: Must occur on or before September 30, 2026, 23:59 UTC. Post-deadline resolves NO.
5. Cancellation Rule: This is a legislative vote event, not a content/feature addition. Resolution is based solely on the official recorded roll-call result.
