CLARITY Act Markup: Senate Banking Sets May 14 Crypto Rules Session

"The Senate Banking Committee scheduled a May 14 markup for the CLARITY Act, setting up the Senate's first formal committee debate over digital asset market structure legislation. The executive session will allow lawmakers to debate amendments and determine whether the bill advances toward a full Senate vote."

"Senate Banking scheduled a May 14 executive session to consider H.R.3633, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025, after months of delays and negotiations over crypto market oversight. The markup, which marks the Senate's first formal committee debate over the legislation, is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. in Room 538 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building. Committee materials said live video will be available once proceedings begin."

"Industry voices quickly lined up behind the CLARITY Act after the Senate Banking Committee scheduled its May 14 markup, framing the session as a long-awaited opening for federal digital asset rules following months of Capitol Hill negotiations. That urgency has become a central theme for supporters as the Senate calendar tightens."

"Blockchain Association said the markup is a critical procedural step because the bill still requires a 60-vote threshold on the Senate floor, reconciliation with the Senate Agriculture Committee's version, alignment with the House-passed bill, and a presidential signature before becoming law."
