Senate Republicans have reportedly released a revised, 630-page version of the CLARITY Act ahead of a September 15 vote, according to unconfirmed reports, a legislative development that would reshape how U.S. regulators treat digital assets even as Bitcoin trades near $77,000. The full revised text, its precise page count, and the vote’s procedural stage remain unverified against official documents at press time.
Bitcoin, the asset whose regulatory status has anchored years of Washington debate over how to classify digital commodities, changed hands at roughly $77,070, down about 1.8% over 24 hours. No causal connection between the reported bill revision and that price move has been established. For related coverage, see Senate Republicans Propose Key Crypto Regulatory Updates in Megabill.
Senate Republicans Release Revised 630-Page CLARITY Act Text
Senate Republicans released a revised CLARITY Act text running 630 pages on September 10, 2026, according to unconfirmed reports from crypto media outlet Blockhead, which cited a release attributed to Senator Cynthia Lummis and reporting by The Block and Politico that were not independently verified. For related coverage, see SEC Crypto Framework Proposal as CLARITY Act Advances.
The release concerns proposed legislative text, not enacted law. The bill has not become law, and a page count alone does not establish the scope or significance of the revisions.
The reported redraft incorporates more than 114 Democratic-requested provisions and includes $150 million for the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, according to unconfirmed figures Blockhead attributed to Lummis via The Block. Neither the original statement nor the revised text was independently accessible for verification.
WHAT TO KNOW
- Reported release: Senate Republicans are said to have released a revised, 630-page CLARITY Act text, according to unconfirmed reports.
- Vote timing: The headline places the release ahead of a September 15 vote; the year, voting body, and vote type require official confirmation.
The most recent official document available is the House-engrossed version of H.R. 3633, passed by the House of Representatives on July 17, 2025. Its Section 1 lists the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025, the CLARITY Act of 2025, and the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act as short titles.
That House text established separate registration frameworks, placing intermediaries under the Securities and Exchange Commission in Title III and digital commodity intermediaries under the CFTC in Title IV. Sections 309 and 409 proposed exclusions for specified decentralized-finance activities while preserving each agency’s anti-fraud and anti-manipulation enforcement authority. These provisions describe the 2025 House version and do not establish the contents of the September 2026 Senate redraft.
Prior coverage has tracked how Senate Republicans revised the CLARITY Act before a key vote, and how the bill faces a decisive Senate debate and vote.
CLARITY Act Vote Timing: What Sept. 15 Means
The supplied headline places the reported release ahead of a September 15 vote. Blockhead described that vote as a cloture motion rather than final passage, according to unconfirmed reports, meaning it would concern advancing the measure rather than enacting it.
No official floor schedule was independently read to confirm the date, the voting body, or the precise pending motion. Readers should treat the September 15 timing as reported rather than verified until an official scheduling source is available.
No Democratic senators currently support the revised text, according to unconfirmed reports Blockhead attributed to Politico, which was not independently fetched. That whip count is time-sensitive and does not negate earlier committee-stage support the bill received. The Senate vote prospects for the CLARITY Act have drawn close attention across the digital-asset industry.
What Remains to Be Confirmed About the Revised CLARITY Act
Substantive differences between the reported Senate redraft and the earlier House text remain an open question until a documented comparison of the actual revised text is available. Reports that the redraft requires centrally controlled DeFi protocols to register with the CFTC and narrows DeFi carve-outs to spot and cash transactions could not be checked against the revised language.
Industry policy analysts have weighed in on earlier stages of the process. In a May 14, 2026 analysis, Coin Center’s Peter Van Valkenburgh, Jason Somensatto and Lizandro Pieper argued that protections for developers who do not control customer assets must survive Senate negotiations, writing that “with limited bipartisan support, there may be a push to make further concessions; the BRCA cannot be one of them,” in their published position. That statement responded to the May markup, not the September redraft.
For Bitcoin holders, the direct implications of the redraft are limited, since Bitcoin’s classification as a commodity has been less contested than that of tokens tied to DeFi protocols. Details on how the revised text treats specific digital assets should be assessed only once the verified provisions are available. The broader market backdrop shows the Crypto Fear & Greed Index at 56, in “Greed” territory, a general sentiment reading that does not measure support for the legislation.
