Summary

The CLARITY Act passed the Senate Banking Committee 15 to 9 on May 14, 2026, sending the bill to the Senate floor where it needs 60 votes. Senators Elizabeth Warren and Angela Alsobrooks, both Democrats, took opposite approaches: block versus engage. Dr. Tonya M. Evans, digital asset regulatory strategist and Forbes contributor, breaks down the markup, the failed Van Hollen ethics amendment, and what four days at the Bermuda Digital Finance Forum reveal about the future of U.S. crypto regulation.
