Crypto Market Structure Bill Delayed Amid Legislative Shifts
The U.S. Senate Banking Committee has postponed deliberations on its cryptocurrency market structure bill, redirecting attention to housing affordability policies championed by President Donald Trump. This strategic pivot may defer the bill's markup until late February or March, injecting uncertainty into the regulatory timeline for digital assets.
Parallel developments reveal progress elsewhere in Congress. The Senate Agriculture Committee unveiled its Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, scheduling a committee vote for January 27. Both legislative proposals will require reconciliation before advancing to a full Senate vote, further prolonging the establishment of definitive crypto regulations.
