Odaily Star Daily reports that the legislative landscape for the U.S. cryptocurrency industry has reached a critical turning point, as the Senate Banking Committee has officially scheduled the review date for the "Digital Asset Market Transparency Act" (referred to as the CLARITY Act, also known as the cryptocurrency market structure bill) for January 15, 2026 (Thursday). Committee Chairman and Republican Tim Scott from South Carolina announced this decision after a series of tense closed-door meetings in early January. Senator Scott emphasized that the committee will push for a formal vote regardless of the difficulties encountered. The Republican leadership views this deadline as a strategic necessity, as they are racing against time to complete the legislative work before the critical federal government spending deadline on January 30, or risk triggering a new government shutdown. The committee hopes to submit the bill for consideration by the full Senate with a vote next Thursday, maintaining the current government's positive support for cryptocurrency. (financefeeds)
