Important update: The U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee has postponed the markup of the crypto bill to Thursday, 29/1
The session was scheduled to vote (markup) on the crypto market structure bill of the U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee, which has been postponed from Tuesday to Thursday, 29/1/2026 at 10:30 AM (U.S. time).
Official reason: Severe winter weather on the East Coast (Washington D.C.) causing disruptions in travel and work activities – heavy snow, closed runways, many canceled flights.
What is this bill?
To establish a clear regulatory framework for crypto: classifying tokens (digital commodities under CFTC or securities under SEC), reducing "regulation by enforcement", protecting users, promoting innovation.
If passed, this will be a significant step under Trump’s pro-crypto era, helping the U.S. lead globally in crypto-friendly regulations.
Short-term impact on the market:
Postponed meeting → further delay of legal catalysts → market sentiment may be more cautious, BTC/ETH sideways or slightly volatile around current levels (BTC ~90k USD).
However, this is only a postponement due to weather, not a rejection – the bill is still progressing, and the session on 29/1 will be decisive.
Just stay calm and keep an eye on it – if the markup passes on Thursday, this will be extremely bullish news for U.S. crypto. What do you think the session on 29/1 will be like? Pass or continue to postpone? Comment below! 🇺🇸📈
