The U.S. Senate Banking Committee will vote on the Digital Asset Market Transparency Act on January 15, 2026. This decision aims to advance legislation before the federal government spending deadline on January 30, leveraging the current administration's friendly stance on cryptocurrencies to accelerate the establishment of a regulatory framework for the industry.

[BiTu] Progress in US Cryptocurrency Regulation. The Senate Banking Committee announced its plan to review the “Digital Asset Market Transparency Act” (CLARITY Act), with a vote scheduled for January 15, 2026 (Thursday).

This decision comes from Committee Chairman, South Carolina Republican Tim Scott. After a series of key closed-door meetings in early January, Senator Scott made it clear that, regardless of how the process unfolds, the committee will push forward with the vote on time.

Why is this date so urgent? The key point is the deadline of January 30—this is the federal government spending deadline. Missing this date could likely trigger another government shutdown. Republican leadership views this deadline as a strategic necessity, aiming to leverage the current administration’s friendly stance toward cryptocurrencies to push the bill from the committee to the full Senate for review.

For the industry, this is indeed an important signal—legislative progress is accelerating, and the implementation of regulatory frameworks may happen sooner than expected.

Another political game. Is this time really serious? The 15-day window is a bit tight; it feels like a gamble to push it through before the government shutdown.

There's finally some movement, but the two-week squeeze from January 15 to January 30 really is a gamble on whether the current government can hold its stance.

Finally, the wait is over. This time, we're really going all out. Take advantage of the policy window while it's still open and push quickly. Smart move.

lol tim scott racing against the gov shutdown deadline... classic opportunity cost play. if they miss jan 30, this whole thing gets yeeted into the next cycle. basically they're extracting maximum value from the friendly admin window before it closes. smart capital utilization tbh

Pushing CLARITY before the government shutdown is indeed a bold move. The window of opportunity waits for no one.

Manipulating the political agenda to push bills? I've seen this tactic before.

Wow, this timing is really perfect. Voting on the 15th, deadline on the 30th, with only a 15-day window in between. It feels like we're pouring the final wave of fertilizer onto the CLARITY bill, trying to push it through the committee before the dark cloud of a government shutdown drifts in. Honestly, it's quite nerve-wracking, just worried that something might go wrong at any stage.
