The U.S. Senate is set to vote at 2:15 p.m. Eastern on Sept. 15 on a cloture motion tied to the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, or CLARITY Act (H.R. 3633). The vote would not decide whether the bill becomes law. It would only determine whether senators can formally begin debate and offer amendments. Even so, the procedural vote may prove decisive because failing to clear 60 votes could effectively end the bill’s path in 2026. The legislation is designed to draw a legal line between the authority of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission in digital asset markets. Republicans hold 53 Senate seats, but media reports say the caucus is not fully united, with Rand Paul and Josh Hawley identified as opponents and Thom Tillis signaling he would not support the measure without tougher ethics language. That leaves the bill needing at least seven Democratic or independent votes, and possibly more. Prediction market pricing remains cautious. On Polymarket, the contract asking whether the CLARITY Act will be signed into law in 2026 was still pricing the chance at 17.5% on Sept. 10. The revised text released this month made targeted changes on nominally decentralized protocols, DeFi scope, and federal credit unions, but left the main political disputes over ethics, non-custodial developer protections, and stablecoin yield largely untouched.

In crypto, several protocol, exchange, and legal developments are lined up. Anthropic is said to be planning to publicly file its prospectus after Sept. 7. A hearing in the Noah Doe case over ownership claims tied to long-dormant Bitcoin, including holdings attributed to Satoshi Nakamoto, is scheduled for Sept. 8.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics revised nonfarm payroll figures higher for both June and July, leading markets to increase bets that the Federal Reserve could raise rates in September. June payroll growth was revised up from 20,000 to 31,000, while July was revised from a decline of 23,000 to an increase of 21,000. Taken together, the two months added 55,000 more jobs than previously reported. The update points to a stronger labor picture than earlier estimates suggested. According to the figures cited by Odaily and attributed to CLS, the revisions changed July from a negative reading to a positive one, while June also saw a moderate upward adjustment. After the revisions, market pricing moved toward a higher probability of a September rate increase by the Fed.
