Sen. John Thune to bring Bitcoin Clarity Act to a full Senate vote before the August 2026 recess
CNBC reports Senator John Thune plans a Senate floor vote on the "Bitcoin Clarity Act" before the August recess. The bill would clarify Bitcoin's federal status by stating it is not a security and by defining regulatory jurisdiction (potentially CFTC-led), reducing long-standing legal uncertainty. A credible path to statutory clarity could improve compliance expectations and institutional engagement conditions for BTC in the near term.
