U.S. Crypto Market Structure Bill Aims for 2026 Passage, Says Senator Lummis
Senator Cynthia Lummis declared at the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium that bipartisan efforts will push a comprehensive crypto market structure bill into law by 2026. The legislation seeks to resolve the SEC-CFTC jurisdictional conflict that has stifled regulatory clarity for digital assets.
The Senate’s draft, dubbed the Responsible Financial Innovation Act, builds on the House-approved CLARITY Act, which garnered rare cross-aisle support. Lummis emphasized preserving the House framework while refining it through Senate adjustments.
Regulatory certainty could catalyze institutional participation across major cryptocurrencies like BTC and ETH, with exchanges like Coinbase and Binance positioned to benefit from standardized compliance pathways.
