Market read: coalition size and thresholds

  • The key spread: 53% odds for ≥51 votes versus 32% for ≥61 votes. This indicates expectations for a workable majority but skepticism about a filibuster-proof coalition.
  • Ladder pricing compresses above the majority line: “Above 55” is 39% and “Above 58” is 37%, both down over 10 points, signaling trimmed expectations for broad bipartisan support.
  • Recent signals: reports indicate Democrats rejected the final version and offered a counter, the New York Attorney General urged Congress to block the bill, and odds of the bill becoming law this year fell to 20% in related prediction tracking.

What the contract measures

  • Resolution basis: the first Senate final-passage vote on qualifying crypto market-structure legislation before January 1, 2027.
  • Excludes: committee votes, motions to proceed, cloture votes, and amendments.
  • Procedural note: the 60-vote cloture threshold is a separate gate and not directly priced by this market.
  • Voice vote or unanimous consent outcome: resolves “Yes” automatically regardless of the numerical threshold in the contract title.
  • No qualifying vote by deadline: resolves “No.”

Legislative status

  • House: H.R. 3633 passed 294–134 on July 17, 2025.
  • Senate: Banking Committee reported an amended substitute on June 1, 2026.
  • Timing: no confirmed date for a final-passage vote.

Interpretation: majority plausible, supermajority uncertain

  • Pricing signals a plausible path to a simple majority on a first final-passage vote.
  • Expectations for a 60+ vote coalition are weaker, reflecting the distinct challenge of overcoming a filibuster.
  • The contract measures vote count, not enactment; resolution does not require passage, presidential signature, or final settlement of SEC and CFTC jurisdiction over digital assets.
