Clarity Act Vote Slips to September — Senate Calendar Shows No August Floor Action

The Clarity Act will not get a Senate vote before the August recess. That is the only claim the available evidence supports. The Senate floor schedule and the Senate Democrats' 2026 calendar both show no bill markup or floor vote in the current window. CoinDesk reported Friday that the vote has slipped to September, with bitcoin trading near $64,000 at the time of the report.

The procedural calendar tells the story. The Senate floor schedule lists no crypto-related business through the pre-recess session. The Democrats' 2026 schedule, a separate document preserved alongside the floor calendar, also shows no Clarity Act entry for August. Together they place the next possible action in September, without specifying whether the chamber will take it up early or late in the month.

That is a scheduling update, not a verdict on the bill's prospects. Coincu reported earlier this month that the Senate would not vote on the Clarity Act before the summer break. The two calendar pages confirm that timeline. Nothing in the preserved evidence explains why leadership pushed the matter back – no whip count, no objection notice, no statement from Senate Majority Leader Schumer or Banking Committee Chairman Brown.

Polymarket odds for the bill passing in 2026 have ticked to 67%, up from 63% a week ago. Those odds reflect trader expectations for eventual passage, not for a near-term floor vote. Senator Lummis has said the Trump divestment clause remains the key sticking point in negotiations. Senator Haridopolos warned last week that delays risk ceding U.S. crypto leadership to other jurisdictions.
