Bessent takes action again, CLARITY Act enters a critical phase
As the key procedural vote in the U.S. Senate on September 15 approaches, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent publicly urged senators to advance the CLARITY Act.
Bessent stated that this bill aims to establish a more comprehensive regulatory framework for digital assets while enhancing the government's ability to prevent criminals from using digital asset technologies.
He also warned that if the U.S. fails to continue advancing relevant legislation, it may send an unfavorable signal to allies and competitors that the U.S. is giving up its leadership position in the digital asset field.
The major change this time is that
the CLARITY Act is no longer just a simple 'crypto industry regulatory bill.'
The U.S. Treasury is linking it with national security, the financial system, and the competitiveness of the U.S. digital asset industry. Follow the official account 'Bitcoin Lemon' for daily market analysis, news updates, and practical insights.
September 15 is not the final approval but the first key threshold
Many investors, upon seeing the 'September 15 vote,' easily understand it as a day when the CLARITY Act will be decided on whether it will officially become law.
In fact, it is not.
The vote on September 15 is mainly about whether to advance the bill into the formal review process.
If passed, the Senate can further debate, amend, and subsequently vote, so this day is more like a crucial gate for whether the CLARITY Act can continue to move forward, rather than an ultimate endpoint.
The issue is that, currently, the Republican Party holds 53 seats in the Senate, while advancing the procedure requires 60 votes.
This means that even if there is considerable support within the Republican Party, at least some Democratic members or other senators' support is still needed to cross the procedural threshold.
This is also why the market currently does not consider the CLARITY Act a 'done deal.' Follow the official account 'Bitcoin Lemon' for daily market analysis, news updates, and practical insights.
The real obstacle remains political gamesmanship
One of the biggest resistances the bill faces comes from ethical-related clauses.
There are still disagreements among senators regarding conflicts of interest between government officials and digital assets, token issuance, and related restrictions.
The Republican side is also continuing to adjust the text.
On September 10, Senate Republicans released a new revised version of the CLARITY Act, which reportedly added more content regarding DeFi regulation and included over 100 amendments proposed by the Democratic side, but ethical issues remain unresolved.
This means that although both sides are working to find common ground, they are still far from truly reaching a final agreement.
So the biggest variable now is not 'whether anyone supports crypto regulation,'
but whether both sides can resolve these political differences in the final stages. Follow the official account 'Bitcoin Lemon' for daily market analysis, news updates, and practical insights.
Why Bessent’s statement deserves market attention?
From the perspective of the crypto market, regulatory certainty has always been one of the essential factors for institutional funds to enter the digital asset space.
In recent years, the U.S. crypto industry has faced long-standing issues regarding jurisdiction and asset classification among the SEC, CFTC, and different regulatory agencies.
The core significance of the CLARITY Act is to attempt to establish a more explicit federal regulatory framework for digital assets and further clarify the responsibilities among various regulatory agencies.
If it can ultimately come to fruition, the biggest change may not be how much BTC rises tomorrow,
but rather that institutions and companies can obtain clearer rule expectations when conducting digital asset-related businesses in the U.S.
This could have long-term impacts on trading platforms, asset management companies, stablecoin issuers, DeFi projects, and tokenized financial products. Follow the official account 'Bitcoin Lemon' for daily market analysis, news updates, and practical insights.
What BTC really needs to focus on is 'regulatory expectations' rather than just a bill
For BTC, the CLARITY Act itself will not directly change Bitcoin's supply or its on-chain fundamentals.
What it truly affects is the market’s expectations for the future policy environment of the U.S. crypto industry.
If the procedural vote on September 15 can progress smoothly, the market may begin to trade in anticipation of 'the further clarification of the U.S. crypto regulatory framework.'
This expectation is generally viewed as a favorable factor for risk assets.
Especially after institutional funds have already entered the crypto market on a large scale through channels like ETFs, further clarity in the regulatory environment may reduce some of the policy uncertainties for institutions participating in the digital asset market.
Therefore,
the greatest potential benefit of the CLARITY Act does not necessarily mean that short-term funds will suddenly buy large amounts of BTC,
but rather that the institutional foundation of the U.S. digital asset market will be further improved. Follow the official account 'Bitcoin Lemon' for daily market analysis, news updates, and practical insights.
But the market also cannot ignore the 'risk of failure'
Currently, the market's expectations for the CLARITY Act becoming law by 2026 are not very high.
Recent predictive market data shows that the probability of the related bill being officially signed into law by 2026 was as low as about 18%, and the procedural vote in the Senate still faces a 60-vote threshold.
As a result, if the vote on September 15 fails to meet the required number of votes for advancement, the market may show a significant 'disappointment reaction.'
Especially in the recent context where BTC itself has been influenced by macro factors, interest rates, and risk preferences,
if the regulatory positives fail to materialize, short-term sentiment may weaken rapidly.
So for traders,
September 15 feels more like an important volatility window, rather than a definite signal for a price increase. Follow the official account 'Bitcoin Lemon' for daily market analysis, news updates, and practical insights.
Bitcoin Lemon's perspective
Bessent's renewed public support for the CLARITY Act sends a somewhat positive policy signal.
More importantly, the U.S. Treasury Secretary has begun to link digital asset regulation with national security and America's competitiveness in the global digital finance field.
This means that the U.S. government's attitude towards digital assets is shifting from 'whether to allow the crypto industry to develop' to 'how to establish rules and compete for industry dominance.'
If the procedural vote on September 15 proceeds smoothly, the market's confidence in the U.S. crypto regulatory environment may be further enhanced.
BTC and major crypto assets may receive some emotional support.
But if the vote fails, one must be wary of the potential for significant short-term selling pressure following unmet expectations in the market.
Therefore, what is most worth watching next is not whether Bessent can continue to make public statements,
but whether the Senate can truly cross the 60-vote threshold on September 15.
Every day, stay tuned to the hot topics in the crypto market, not just to see what news is happening, but also to understand the logic and opportunities behind the market movements 👀🚀

Conclusion
Bessent once again urged the Senate to advance the CLARITY Act, bringing this structure bill for the U.S. crypto market back into focus.
The procedural vote on September 15 will serve as the first significant test, but it does not mean the bill will officially pass that day.
The biggest challenge currently remains the 60-vote threshold and political disagreements over ethical issues and DeFi regulation.
For the crypto market, if the bill advances smoothly, the biggest benefit lies in further improving the regulatory certainty of U.S. digital assets, which may provide a clearer policy environment for institutional funds and long-term industrial development.
But if the vote fails, the short-term market may see a significant emotional reversal.
Thus, September 15 is not just a regulatory vote but may become an important emotional catalyst for the recent crypto market. Follow the official account 'Bitcoin Lemon' for daily market analysis, news updates, and practical insights.
