The US CLARITY Act is scheduled for review on January 15, with the Senate and industry stakeholders engaging in discussions on stablecoins and DeFi.

【BlockBeats】According to industry insiders, the U.S. Congress is actively pushing forward the review of the "Crypto Market Structure Act" (CLARITY Act). The Senate Banking Committee has officially scheduled the review date—January 15, 2026 (Thursday), less than a month away.

Currently, all parties in the Senate are making their final push for this review. On Tuesday, the chairman's office of the Banking Committee convened an internal consultation meeting, gathering 13 senators who support the crypto industry. During this three-hour meeting, three issues became the focus: first, how to define the ethical standards for crypto industry practitioners; second, the profit distribution mechanism of stablecoins; third, the allocation of Democratic and Republican representatives within the crypto regulatory agencies. Additionally, discussions were held on several DeFi-specific provisions.

Although it is still unclear how many issues have been resolved, the attitudes of all parties after the meeting are optimistic—both Republican and Democratic senators believe that the bill is likely to gain bipartisan support.

While the senators are conducting internal consultations, the crypto industry is also busy. This week’s lobbying activities have already been intensively launched. On Thursday, the Digital Chamber of Commerce will hold a large-scale lobbying event on Capitol Hill, with over 40 representatives directly visiting the Senate to apply pressure. The event begins at 10 a.m., with Patrick Witte, Executive Director of the White House Cryptocurrency Committee, and Wyoming Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis scheduled to speak. The participating companies include several well-known trading platforms, asset management firms, and blockchain infrastructure providers.

In addition to collective lobbying, many industry leaders have also met privately with senators this week to discuss unresolved issues regarding DeFi ecosystem standards and stablecoin yield rates. From this activity, it is evident that the industry attaches great importance to the passage of this bill, as it will directly impact the future regulatory framework and development space of the U.S. crypto industry.
