Coinbase CEO Armstrong says US crypto clarity would proceed regardless of CLARITY Act Senate outcome

Sep 10, 2026By ClusterWire.news· AI-assisted news brief

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong told CNBC that the U.S. crypto industry would receive regulatory clarity whether or not the Senate passes the CLARITY Act on Sept. 15 [1] [2] [3].

Armstrong described the week as a two-track scenario: durable legislation if a Senate procedural (cloture) vote succeeds, and continued clarity efforts even if it fails [2] [3].

One report said the proposed CLARITY Act would split regulatory authority between the SEC and the CFTC, and that Democratic senators were pushing for enhanced ethics provisions and anti-money laundering protections [4].
