On May 15, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee approved the Cryptocurrency Market Structure Act (the CLARITY Act) with a vote of 15 in favor and 9 against, officially submitting the bill for a vote in the full Senate. All 13 Republican members voted in favor, while two Democratic members crossed party lines to support it. Democratic chief member Elizabeth Warren and 8 others voted against it. The CLARITY Act will establish a regulatory framework for the digital asset market, clarifying the regulatory responsibilities of the SEC and CFTC. The bill had previously passed the House with a vote of 294 to 134 in July 2025, and after the Senate's full vote, it will need to be reconciled with the version from the Senate Agriculture Committee before being sent to the President for signing. The Trump administration had previously set a goal to complete the legislation by July 4. The latest version of the CLARITY Act is crucial for DeFi, as it will provide clearer legal protections and developer safeguards for DeFi developers in the U.S. Regarding yield issues, the CLARITY Act could bring new growth to DeFi, similar to how the GENIUS Act promoted the development of stablecoins. According to PolyBeats monitoring, the probability of the CLARITY Act being signed into law in 2026 has risen to 74% on the prediction market Polymarket.

CLARITY Act Approved by Senate Banking Committee, Moves to Full Senate Vote

On May 15, Senator Cynthia Lummis proposed an amendment during the Senate Banking Committee's review of the CLARITY Act, which pertains to the permissible scope of digital asset activities for banks and credit unions. The amendment clarifies the transaction activities banks are allowed to engage in and expands the scope to include insured deposit institutions. Senator Warren opposed the amendment, stating, "I acknowledge that this amendment makes some limited improvements to a portion of the bill (significantly expanding the crypto-related activities that taxpayer-insured banks can participate in), but it is still far from sufficient. Under this amendment, banks will be able to engage in decentralized finance transactions, lend using crypto assets as collateral, trade crypto assets directly, trade crypto derivatives, and more—many of which could go awry. Why are Republicans trying to divert Americans' deposits away from small business loans and home mortgages? It makes no sense at all. Even if this amendment passes, the next crypto crash could still drag down banks and, in turn, the entire economy. We should directly remove this part instead of making superficial fixes and pretending the problem is solved." The amendment was passed with 19 votes in favor and 5 against. The Cryptocurrency Market Structure Act (i.e., the CLARITY Act) is currently undergoing line-by-line voting and debate on the amendment.

On May 15, Senator Cynthia Lummis introduced an amendment during the Banking Committee review of the CLARITY Act, which requires the existing securities laws prohibiting insider trading to be applied to crypto assets, particularly 'ancillary assets.' Note: 'Ancillary assets' refer to a category of crypto assets defined in the bill that are related to securities but are not fully considered securities. Senator Warren opposed the amendment, stating that it only addresses surface issues, while the bill itself creates a larger loophole—many assets with characteristics of securities will not be classified as 'ancillary assets' and therefore will not be subject to insider trading rules at all. While I support combating all forms of insider trading, this fix is far from sufficient to address the problem, and it gives the public a false sense of security, leading them to believe they are safe from insider trading in the crypto space—when in fact, they are not. Insiders will still exploit loopholes. Therefore, I urge my colleagues to vote against it. The amendment was passed with 18 votes in favor and 6 against. The Cryptocurrency Market Structure Act (the CLARITY Act) is currently undergoing line-by-line voting and debate on the amendment.

On May 14, CoinList announced the launch of Passage, positioned as the 'access layer' for on-chain capital markets, aimed at providing compliant distribution, capital access, allocation, and infrastructure support for tokenized assets. CoinList stated that as tokenized stocks, funds, yield products, and pre-IPO assets gradually migrate on-chain, the current market still faces fragmentation issues among issuers, chains, and compliance rules, and that 'asset tokenization does not equal effective distribution.' Passage will connect issuers, platforms, and investors to facilitate large-scale on-chain circulation of tokenized assets. According to the introduction, Passage is built on CoinList's existing infrastructure. CoinList claims that since 2017, its platform has covered over 160 countries and has completed more than $1.2 billion in asset distribution.

On May 15, U.S. Senator Van Hollen proposed an amendment during the Banking Committee review of the CLARITY Act, which sought to prohibit the President and members of Congress from acting as issuers of crypto assets and required related individuals to enhance transparency in disclosures. Van Hollen stated that the Trump family has profited billions of dollars through crypto projects, including deals with the UAE royal family, after which Trump eased restrictions on chip and AI exports to the UAE. He also pointed out that the Trump family's meme coin sales have resulted in retail investors losing a cumulative $4.3 billion, while Trump himself profits regardless of market fluctuations. Republican Senator Bernie Moreno countered that the amendment falls under the jurisdiction of the Judiciary Committee, not the Banking Committee. The amendment was defeated with 11 votes in favor and 13 votes against. The Cryptocurrency Market Structure Act (the CLARITY Act) is currently undergoing line-by-line voting and debate on amendments.

According to Bloomberg, the digital gold rush in Texas is losing its luster as Bitcoin miners grapple with financial woes, leaving behind what some fear will be a wasteland of unfinished sites and abandoned equipment. In an effort to become a haven for crypto mining, Texas has aggressively lured miners with cheap power and favorable regulations, prompting many to take out billions in loans to buy pricey machines and build out infrastructure. However, soaring energy costs, a sharp decline in Bitcoin prices and more competition have compressed profit margins and made it difficult for miners to repay debt. Some are on the verge of bankruptcy. Texas has about 1.5 gigawatts of crypto mining capacity, mainly Bitcoin, operating with about 37 gigawatts vying to connect to the state grid as of Oct. 20, according to the most recent data available from the Electric Reliability Council of Texas. That queue has more than doubled in six months. While the queue indicates growing power demand from miners earlier this year, the amount may be inflated. Power brokers and mining companies could have filed multiple applications for the same mining site as those applications do not require deposits.
