Washington just crossed a line — and crypto felt it. The U.S. Senate is officially moving forward on crypto regulation, even without a full bipartisan handshake. Chairman Boozman has released a fresh draft and confirmed the bill is heading to markup on January 27, signaling urgency over endless debate.
This is a major shift. Lawmakers are no longer treating crypto as a gray-area experiment. The framework aims to recognize crypto markets as legitimate financial markets, pulling exchanges, brokers, and custodians under clear federal oversight. Expect tighter standards on custody, transparency, and market integrity — rules that mirror traditional finance, not loopholes.
Love it or hate it, this marks a turning point. U.S. crypto policy is leaving the talking stage and entering execution mode.
Is this the clarity institutions have been waiting for — or the start of a new battle?
