Overview
US crypto market-structure efforts moved on two tracks this week: lawmakers advanced a CFTC-centered bill in the Senate Agriculture Committee, while the SEC and CFTC publicly emphasized a shift toward coordinated oversight via a revived “Project Crypto.” At the same time, industry and political fault lines—especially around DeFi treatment and stablecoin reward features—remain key friction points that could slow a broader framework’s path to final passage.
