Senate Agriculture Committee's Crypto Bill Faces Partisan Challenges

On January 22, journalist Eleanor Terrett reported that additional two-week negotiations aimed at securing formal Democratic support have failed to yield results. According to BlockBeats, the upcoming Senate Agriculture Committee's markup of the bill is expected to reflect partisan divisions, which is not a positive sign for the Senate Banking Committee that hoped to advance its review through bipartisan consensus. Terrett further noted that the Senate Agriculture Committee has released the latest version of the crypto market structure bill. Committee Chairman John Boozman stated that an agreement with the Democrats was not reached, but he remains hopeful for next week's review meeting. The meeting is scheduled for next Tuesday at 3 p.m. Eastern Time.
