The Senate Banking Committee has adjusted its agenda, potentially delaying the review of the crypto market structure bill by several weeks.

The U.S. Senate Banking Committee recently shifted its legislative focus to aligning with Donald Trump's housing affordability policies, slowing the progress of the planned cryptocurrency market structure bill. The bill is expected to be delayed by at least several weeks, with the window potentially shifting to late February or March. Against this backdrop, the Senate Agriculture Committee will proceed with its version of digital asset legislation as planned, with a vote expected on January 27. The relevant bill text will then need to be integrated with the Banking Committee's version and submitted to the full Senate for consideration. (Bloomberg)
