U.S. Senate Democrats are set to hold a Friday call with crypto industry leaders after a last-minute delay of the Senate Banking Committee’s hearing on the crypto market structure bill, according to sources.


The hearing was postponed after internal resistance from lawmakers and a surprise move by Coinbase, which withdrew its support from the current draft — significantly slowing momentum.


🔍 Why This Matters

  • Crypto regulation isn’t dead — lawmakers are regrouping, not retreating


  • Senators from both the Banking and Agriculture Committees will join the talks

  • The Senate Agriculture Committee is still planning a crypto hearing on January 27



💥 Key Issue Blocking Progress


The biggest unresolved issue is stablecoin rewards programs — a hotly debated topic involving banks, regulators, and crypto firms. Disagreements here were a major reason the bill stalled.


📌 What Happens Next?


Friday’s call could determine whether lawmakers can revive the bill or if U.S. crypto regulation faces further delays. Any outcome could impact exchanges, stablecoin issuers, and DeFi projects operating in the U.S.
