Bitcoin Price Prediction as September 15 Could Decide CLARITY Act’s Next Move

Bitcoin traded near $77,351 as investors balanced regulatory uncertainty before the Federal Reserve meeting.

Ethereum price traded around $2,531, while XRP held near $1.37 during a cautious session.

The FOMC meets September 15–16, placing monetary policy alongside the Senate vote as another major catalyst.

Higher rates could strengthen the dollar and pressure risk assets, while a softer decision could support crypto demand.

September 15 Vote Could Decide the Next Step for the CLARITY Act

The Senate’s September 15 motion to proceed would open debate on the CLARITY Act, rather than approve final passage.

Supporters need 60 votes under Senate rules, leaving Republicans seeking roughly six Democratic votes to advance the motion.

The latest draft includes 114 Democratic amendments, yet no Democratic senator has publicly committed support, according to Politico.

Patrick Witt said negotiators addressed Democratic concerns and could resolve remaining disputes through amendments after debate begins.

Witt, executive director of the White House Digital Asset Advisory Council, described the remaining legislative window as increasingly narrow.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent urged senators from both parties to support the procedural step.
