The odds of the CLARITY Act passing in 2026 have dropped as lawmakers focus more on artificial intelligence policy. Prediction markets now expect less chance of the bill passing, and it seems unlikely the Senate will vote on it before the July 4 recess. This change comes as the Senate Banking Committee plans a major hearing on AI, which could push digital asset regulation lower on the agenda.
Many see the CLARITY Act as one of the key bills shaping crypto market rules in the U.S. It aims to set clearer regulations for digital assets and clarify what federal agencies are responsible for in the industry.
Recent prediction market data shows more uncertainty. On Kalshi, the odds of passage in 2026 dropped from 50% to 48%. On Polymarket, expectations fell from 55% to 51%. Chances of approval before July are still very low.
This change partly followed comments from Senator Cynthia Lummis, who said lawmakers might need more time to finish the bill.
