Overview
Momentum behind a U.S. Senate crypto market-structure bill appears to have stalled, with reporting pointing to an indefinite pause in committee work and a shift in near-term legislative attention toward housing affordability. At the center of the slowdown is a late-stage break in industry support, highlighted by Coinbase’s sudden withdrawal and its stated concerns about the bill’s contents.
