【BlockBeats】According to industry insiders, the U.S. Congress is actively pushing forward with the review of the “Crypto Market Structure Act” (CLARITY Act). The Senate Banking Committee has officially set the review date for January 15, 2026 (Thursday), with less than a month remaining.
From the current situation, the Senate is making a final push for this review. This Tuesday, the office of the Banking Committee Chairman convened an internal coordination meeting, bringing together 13 senators supportive of the crypto industry. During this three-hour meeting, three issues became focal points: first, how to define ethical standards for crypto industry practitioners; second, the revenue distribution mechanism for stablecoins; third, the representation allocation between Democrats and Republicans in crypto regulatory agencies. Additionally, discussions were held on several DeFi-specific provisions.
While it remains unclear how many issues were resolved, judging from the attitudes of all parties after the meeting, both Republican and Democratic senators expressed optimism—they believe the bill is likely to gain bipartisan support.
While senators were conducting internal coordination, the crypto industry was also active. Lobbying activities have intensified this week. On Thursday, the Chamber for Digital Commerce will hold a large-scale lobbying event on Capitol Hill, with over 40 representatives going directly to the Senate to exert pressure. The event begins at 10:00 a.m., with Executive Director of the White House Crypto Committee Patrick Witt and Republican Senator from Wyoming Cynthia Lummis serving as keynote speakers. The lineup of companies participating in the lobbying effort is quite impressive, including several well-known trading platforms, asset management institutions, and blockchain infrastructure providers.
Beyond collective lobbying, numerous industry leaders are also having private meetings with senators this week, focusing on two outstanding issues: DeFi ecosystem regulations and stablecoin yields. From these actions, it’s clear the industry attaches great importance to the passage of this bill, as it will directly affect the regulatory framework and development space for the U.S. crypto industry in the future.
