Republican senators expressed cautious optimism after intensive negotiations on the stalled crypto market-structure bill, particularly regarding stablecoin rewards. Pro-crypto Senator Cynthia Lummis noted a breakthrough during closed-door discussions, stating that "some major light bulbs were switched on" regarding a viable path forward.
Senate staff confirmed that negotiators are 99% aligned on stablecoin yield provisions, with digital asset language also nearing resolution.
