The U.S. Senate Banking Committee has postponed the vote on the CLARITY Act, a significant crypto market structure bill, originally set for September 30. The delay is attributed to insufficient bipartisan feedback and the looming threat of a government shutdown. The CLARITY Act seeks to delineate regulatory duties between the SEC and CFTC and proposes exemptions for certain digital assets from the 1933 Securities Act registration requirements. A new voting date is tentatively planned for the week of October 20, though it remains unconfirmed. This postponement underscores the ongoing political challenges in establishing clear crypto regulations.
