Prediction market pricing for the CLARITY Act has dropped sharply. On Polymarket, the implied probability that the bill will pass and become law by 2026 stands at 13%, with trading volume around $11.5 million, down from an 82% market estimate seen in February. The U.S. Senate is scheduled to hold a procedural vote on Sept. 15, after Majority Leader John Thune filed a cloture motion to begin the process, a step that typically requires 60 votes. On Kalshi, the probability of a Senate vote taking place before Oct. 1 is priced at 91%, with more than $1.25 million in trading volume. According to Bitcoin.com News, the CLARITY Act would create a federal regulatory framework for crypto markets, giving the Commodity Futures Trading Commission sole oversight of spot digital commodities markets, while the Securities and Exchange Commission would retain authority over certain securities issuance and exchange activities. The bill still faces disagreements over conflicts of interest involving officials and the crypto industry, stablecoin yield, and protections for decentralized finance and non-custodial software developers.
