CLARITY Act Heading To Senate Vote April 14–20 As Lawmakers Strike Stablecoin Deal

Lawmakers signaled a major advance Wednesday toward passing the long-awaited CLARITY Act, the bill intended to create a clearer market-structure framework for cryptocurrencies in the United States. Tentative Stablecoin Deal Politico reported that key senators have reached a tentative agreement with the White House on language meant to bridge a central dispute between banks and crypto firms over stablecoin yields — a development that could unblock the legislation in the coming weeks.

Alsobrooks told reporters on Friday that she and Tillis “do have an agreement in principle,” adding that the deal represents substantial progress. “We’ve come a long way. And I think what it will do is to allow us to protect innovation, but also gives us the opportunity to prevent widespread deposit flight,” she said. Tillis, while optimistic, emphasized that the tentative pact is not final. He told interviewers he feels “like we’re in a good place,” but stressed he still plans to review the details with industry stakeholders before moving forward. CLARITY Act Markup In Mid‑ To Late‑April The timing for a Senate procedural move is also taking shape. Market expert MartyParty noted on X that Senator Cynthia Lummis has indicated the Senate Banking Committee plans to hold a markup in the second half of April, likely during the weeks beginning April 13 or April 20 after the Easter recess.

As of right now, it’s unclear what more details will emerge from the current talks in Washington, D.C. for complete confirmation of possible dates.
