The Digital Asset Market CLARITY Act is currently the center of a high-stakes legislative push in Washington. As of late February 2026, the bill is "on the cusp" of becoming law, though it is currently navigating a tense final negotiation phase between the White House, the Senate, and industry leaders.

Here is the current status and the key hurdles the bill is facing:

Current Legislative Status

House of Representatives: Passed in July 2025 with a strong bipartisan vote of 294–134.

Senate: The bill has cleared the Senate Agriculture Committee. However, progress in the Senate Banking Committee is currently stalled due to disagreements over "stablecoin yield" rules.

White House Deadline: The administration has set a March 1, 2026 deadline for a deal to be reached. Industry analysts suggest there is a 90% chance the bill will be signed into law by April 2026 if these final compromises hold.
Major Sticking Points

The "advancement" of the bill is currently held up by three primary debates:

Stablecoin Yields: A battle between "Wall Street" and "Crypto." Traditional banks want to ban stablecoins from offering rewards/interest to prevent them from becoming unregulated competitors to savings accounts.

DeFi Protections: Lawmakers are debating how much liability software developers should face versus centralized intermediaries.

The "Nihilist" Debate: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently used strong rhetoric, calling industry holdouts "nihilists" and urging them to accept the current compromise to ensure the bill passes before the 2026 midterms.

What’s Next?

Keep an eye on the March 1 deadline. If the White House successfully brokers a deal on stablecoin yields this week, the bill will likely move to a full Senate floor vote.
