Overview
US lawmakers moved a major crypto market structure proposal forward in the Senate Agriculture Committee, but the vote exposed a sharp partisan split that could complicate the bill’s path through Congress. The committee advanced a CFTC-focused framework for regulating digital commodity intermediaries, while Democrats withheld support and signaled unresolved disputes that may need to be addressed before the legislation can progress further.
