Hedera Joins 200-Member Coalition To Push Clarity ACT

Coordinated Industry Push for a Senate Floor Vote

@Hedera has joined a coalition of more than 200 organizations urging Senate leadership to bring the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act to a full floor vote without further delay. The push, coordinated alongside @StandwithCrypto, represents one of the broadest industry mobilizations yet around U.S. digital asset legislation. The message from the coalition is direct: it is time for Clarity.

Stand With Crypto issued a public call to action on May 26, 2026, urging constituents to contact their senators and demand a floor vote on the bill, formally numbered H.R. 3633. The legislation covers a wide scope, including illicit finance rules, decentralized finance developer protections, tokenization standards, customer property rights, and limits on stablecoin yield.

Where the Clarity Act Stands

The coalition's push follows a significant procedural win. The Senate Banking Committee advanced the Clarity Act with a bipartisan 15-9 vote on May 14, 2026, with two Democrats crossing party lines to support the bill alongside Republicans. The vote moved the legislation to the full Senate floor, where it will need 60 votes to advance past a procedural hurdle.

Despite the committee success, the path forward is not without obstacles. Analysts have noted that the Senate has a tight legislative calendar, with roughly eight weeks remaining before the summer recess and a crowded floor schedule competing for time. An unresolved ethics provision, which would restrict senior government officials from holding financial interests in digital assets, also remains a sticking point between Democrats and the White House.

For Hedera and its native token $HBAR, the bill carries particular significance. The Clarity Act is expected to formally classify certain digital assets as commodities and shift regulatory oversight from the SEC to the CFTC, which analysts have described as a structural tailwind for networks like Hedera that have attracted major enterprise partners including Google, IBM, and FedEx to its Governing Council.

The coalition's call reflects a broader sense of urgency across the crypto industry: with the legislative window narrowing, supporters are pressing Senate leadership to act before the August recess.
