The CLARITY Act\u2019s chances of becoming law climbed above 32% as Senate Republicans unveiled their final compromise before Tuesday\u2019s cloture vote.<\/p>\n

Polymarket traders pushed the probability of the landmark crypto market-structure legislation being enacted in 2026 to its highest level since Aug. 2 after Republicans released a 635-page final draft designed to resolve several disputes that have held up the bill.<\/p>\n

The move marks a turnaround from weeks of skepticism surrounding the legislation, though prediction-market pricing remains well below levels seen earlier this year. The contract reached about 82% in February before political disputes over ethics, stablecoin rewards and decentralized-finance protections complicated its path through the Senate.<\/p>\n

Tuesday provides the next test. Senators are scheduled to vote on cloture on the motion to proceed with H.R. 3633, a procedural step that would require 60 votes and allow the chamber to begin considering the legislation. If cloture is invoked, the final text would then be offered as a substitute amendment.<\/p>\n

Republicans said the latest version incorporates 126 substantive changes Democrats requested after more than a year of negotiations. The revisions touch some of the bill’s most contentious parts, including financial ethics rules for elected officials, stablecoin rewards, protections for blockchain developers, and conflicts involving digital-asset trading platforms.<\/p>\n

White House digital-assets adviser Patrick Witt cast the revisions as evidence that Republicans had exhausted the room for compromise.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt every step of the way during the Clarity Act negotiations, the White House and Senate Republicans have been responsive to Democrats\u2019 stated policy objectives,\u201d Witt said. \u201cAfter more than a year\u2019s worth of negotiations, it\u2019s time to pass this bipartisan bill.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump ethics concession removes a major sticking point<\/h2>\n

The most politically significant change concerns President Donald Trump and other federal officials with substantial crypto-related financial interests.<\/p>\n

Trump agreed to substantially all of an ethics proposal developed by Republican Sen. Thom Tillis and Democratic Sen. Ruben Gallego. The framework would require covered officials with significant crypto interests to divest them or place them in a qualified blind trust, while giving state attorneys general a role in enforcing the restrictions.<\/p>\n
