According to Odaily, the U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee has postponed its hearing on the crypto market structure bill, initially set for January 15. The bill's text will now be released on January 21, with a markup hearing scheduled for January 27. The committee stated that this adjustment aims to ensure transparency in the legislative process and provide members with ample time for review.
Committee Chairman John Boozman emphasized that the bill seeks to offer clarity and certainty to the crypto market, supporting U.S. innovation while safeguarding consumers. Meanwhile, the Senate Banking Committee is set to hold a separate markup hearing on its version of the crypto market structure bill this week. The Agriculture Committee's version has yet to release its official text, with ongoing debates surrounding ethical provisions and the composition of regulatory agency members.
