JackTheRippler (@RippleXrpie), a well-known XRP-focused account on X, just shared a rumor with his followers that the U.S. Senate has passed the CLARITY Act behind the scenes. His post suggests that the bill has already secured the votes needed, and the public vote on September 15 is just a formality.
The Rumor Making the Rounds
JackTheRippler attached an AI-generated video showing a Senate chamber vote count, with a tally of YEA 68, NAY 30, captioned as the passage of H.R. 3191, the CLARITY Act.

The image is artificial. One commenter noted that the Digital Asset Market CLARITY Act carries the bill number H.R. 3633, not H.R. 3191. H.R. 3191 is a separate bill.
The CLARITY Act and Its Purpose
The CLARITY Act is designed to establish a clear regulatory framework for digital assets in the U.S. It will define which assets fall under SEC jurisdiction and which fall under the CFTC. The bill cleared the House in 2025 and advanced through Senate Banking in May 2026.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune filed cloture just before the Senate left for recess. The procedural vote is now scheduled for September 15 when the Senate returns.
The Road to Passage
The bill needs 60 votes to advance past that procedural hurdle. One commenter pointed out that if the Senate hits 60 votes on the 15th, it then has a 30-hour window before the final passage vote, and that final vote requires only 50 votes since the Vice President can break a tie.
Senator Tim Scott has stated publicly that the bill will become law, identifying September as the period with the strongest potential for progress. Democrat Senator Ruben Gallego, one of only two Democrats who voted the bill out of committee, remains a critical swing vote. CFTC Chair Michael Selig has stated that if the bill stalls, the agency will use its existing authorities to build a crypto regulatory framework without Congress.

How the Community Reacted
Reactions to the post were mixed. Some found the claim credible and suggested those with inside information may already be positioning themselves ahead of a public announcement. Others urged caution and said they would wait for official confirmation before treating the rumor as fact.
One commenter called the post outright false and said it could damage the community’s credibility. Another called it fake because of the AI video, and many community members remain skeptical. The September 15 cloture vote remains the most significant near-term event for the CLARITY Act. The vote will confirm if Republicans have secured enough support from across the aisle.
