4-bullet brief | narrative

Ladder prices only 31% above 50 votes and 22% above 60 votes, implying the market-implied Yea count is well below the 60-vote cloture threshold.
The news headline itself cites 17% market odds of passage, which aligns with the ladder's distribution showing a sharp drop in probability above the 60-vote strike.
Revised DeFi oversight provisions added days before the vote introduce fresh uncertainty that could cost votes from both crypto-friendly and skeptical senators.
Resolution uses the Senate's official recorded vote count from the September 15 procedural roll call.

interp: The ladder's sub-30% probability above 60 votes is the operative data point; the news narrative of '60 votes away' is consistent with that pricing.llm_judge_cm_signal_v1
