The U.S.

crypto regulatory framework known as the CLARITY Act still has a viable path through Congress in 2026, though the window is narrowing.

A Senate aide told CoinDesk that a delay of a couple of weeks appears likely as Republican Senator Thom Tillis continues negotiations with banking industry stakeholders over concerns related to stablecoin yield provisions.

One significant obstacle has been cleared, however. Earlier disputes over DeFi protections are now effectively resolved, removing what had been a persistent sticking point in the bill's progress.

The timeline remains tight. A Senate Banking Committee vote as early as May could keep a July floor vote realistic. But the Senate enters recess in August and pivots quickly into midterm election mode shortly after, leaving little room for error.

Every week of delay increases the risk that the legislation runs out of road before it can reach a final vote.
