Crypto Market Structure Bill Delayed Until 2026 Amid Bipartisan Negotiations
The US Senate Banking Committee has postponed its markup of the crypto market structure bill, pushing substantive discussions to early 2026. Chair Tim Scott (R-SC) confirmed ongoing bipartisan negotiations to establish regulatory clarity for digital assets.
The delay coincides with congressional focus on federal funding deadlines. Multiple draft versions of the legislation exist, but progress remains stalled until next year. The proposed framework aims to position the US as a leader in cryptocurrency regulation.
