Historical Progress in Regulation #crypto
Senate Committees will vote on January 15 on the Market Structure Bill, with the path open for signing #TRUMP !
At a pivotal moment for the crypto industry in the U.S., the Senate Banking and Agriculture Committees have scheduled markups and votes on January 15, 2026, on the bipartisan digital asset market structure legislation, which aims to clearly define the jurisdictions of the #SEC and #CFTC , strengthen investor protections, and combat illicit finance.
If the bills advance in committee (with the Banking Committee, led by Republican Tim Scott pushing a "hard deadline" despite ongoing divisions with Democrats), an internal Senate reconciliation process would follow to unify versions.
Subsequently, coordination would take place with the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act), passed by the House of Representatives in 2025 with broad bipartisan support, to send a final package to President Donald Trump, who has expressed a pro-innovation crypto stance.
