According to reports, the legislative landscape of the US cryptocurrency industry has reached a crucial turning point, as the Senate Banking Committee has officially scheduled a hearing for the "Cryptocurrency Market Transparency Act" (also known as the CLARITY Act) on January 15, 2026 (Thursday). Committee Chairman, Republican Tim Scott from South Carolina, announced this decision after a series of tense closed-door meetings at the beginning of January. Senator Scott emphasized that the committee will push for a formal vote regardless of any difficulties. The Republican leadership sees this deadline as a strategic necessity, racing against time to complete the legislative work before the critical January 30 federal government spending deadline, to avoid a potential government shutdown. The committee aims to submit the bill for consideration by the full Senate next Thursday, capitalizing on the current government's positive support for cryptocurrencies.
