Overview

A major U.S. Senate push to set “rules of the road” for crypto market structure hit a sudden pause after late-stage backlash—then immediately shifted into damage-control mode. With the Senate Banking Committee’s markup postponed, Democrats and industry representatives moved to a planned Friday call to assess what broke down, what can be amended, and whether the bill can return soon despite renewed friction between crypto firms, banks, and lawmakers.
