According to a post by Eleanor Terrett of Crypto in America from her X account, the US Senate Agriculture Committee has postponed its planned discussions on the cryptocurrency market restructuring bill known as the CLARITY Act from January 15th to the last week of January.
In fact, the Agriculture Committee hearing was scheduled to take place concurrently with the Senate Banking Committee’s meeting this Thursday.
However, John Boozman, chairman of the U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee, said the delay was necessary to allow more time to build bipartisan support for the bill.
According to Chairman John Boozman, the Agriculture Committee postponed its draft on the structure of the cryptocurrency market to the last week of January, instead of presenting it simultaneously with the Senate Banking Committee on Thursday as originally planned.
Boozman stated that more time was needed to maintain the support of both parties.
This move is being interpreted as a sign that Senate leaders do not yet have the necessary votes to move the bill forward.
While discussions on the CLARITY Act have been postponed until the end of January, the Senate Banking Committee aims to present the final version of the CLARITY Act, a bill structuring the cryptocurrency market, by midnight on January 13th.
Eleanor Terrett, citing a Senate source, reported that a clause regarding stablecoin revenues was identified as the biggest point of contention, but despite difficult negotiations, the draft was still scheduled to be presented on the night of the 13th.
The Clarity Act is known as the most comprehensive bill to regulate the US cryptocurrency market structure to date. The House of Representatives approved its version of the bill in mid-2025, but the Senate must also approve its version for the law to proceed.
