Senate targets September 15 for CLARITY Act vote on XRP, XLM, HBAR regulation

The Senate plans a September 15 procedural vote on the CLARITY Act, potentially reshaping how Hedera (HBAR), XRP, and XLM are regulated. The bill follows the House approval and a Senate Banking Committee push, with regulators like the SEC and CFTC already classifying these assets as digital commodities in 2026. A favorable vote could boost institutional adoption, custody, and lending clarity, while market sentiment for Hedera and peers may rise ahead of Ripple’s Swell event in October.
