Michael Saylor sets 50M-user goal after CLARITY vote

According to reporting by crypto.news via LBank News, 49 Senate votes supported cloture on the CLARITY Act, leaving the motion eleven votes short of advancement. Michael Saylor proposed targeting 50 million U.S. users before returning to Congress for focused legislation later. CLARITY would restrict stablecoin holding rewards while permitting qualifying activity-based incentives under defined regulatory conditions. The SEC granted temporary relief for tokenized stock venues two days after the Senate cloture vote, and the CFTC sent crypto market rulemaking to White House review on September 17. These developments have not officially confirmed any fundamental statutory overhaul.
