According to BlockBeats, legislation aimed at establishing clear regulatory guidelines for the cryptocurrency industry is facing obstacles in the U.S. Senate, casting doubt on its progress. Earlier this month, Senate Democrats introduced a draft known as the 'Decentralized Finance Regulatory Preliminary Plan,' which was leaked and met with strong opposition from the cryptocurrency sector. Negotiations have stalled, with talks between Republicans and pro-cryptocurrency Democrats derailing. As the U.S. Congress focuses on addressing government shutdown issues, the likelihood of the bill passing by the end of the year remains uncertain.
