THE U.S. SENATE IS GETTING READY FOR A MAJOR STEP IN CRYPTO POLICY.
Lawmakers are planning key committee votes on a market structure bill aimed at clarifying how digital assets are regulated. Both the Banking Committee and Agriculture Committee are lining up hearings and markups for this week, signaling serious momentum toward real rules for the crypto ecosystem.
This matters because clearer market structure could finally settle questions around oversight, exchange classifications, and how regulators like the SEC and CFTC share authority, something the industry has been waiting on for years.
There’s still uncertainty, differences over DeFi protections and bipartisan support remain points of debate, but the fact that committees are moving forward shows Washington sees this as a priority.
For crypto markets, all eyes are now on January 15 and how these votes play out. If progress sticks, it could reduce regulatory ambiguity and give investors more confidence in the long term.
