Kalshi ladder

4-bullet brief | narrative

Kalshi ladder prices Senate Yea votes on a crypto market structure bill below 50: only 40% chance of reaching 50 votes, 32% at 55, dropping to 7% at 66.
The CLARITY Act delay until September is consistent with the sub-50 vote implied range, suggesting the market already doubted passage before the delay was confirmed.
Trump's public praise for Bitcoin alongside the delay adds political complexity; Senate Majority Leader John Thune faces a separate Kalshi contract at 45% on Trump calling for his removal.
Resolution via vote tally from the Senate Parliamentarian as named source; the threshold for passage (50 vs. 60 for cloture) is itself a settlement ambiguity.
