Overview

Washington’s crypto market-structure push is entering a compressed, high-stakes phase ahead of scheduled Jan. 15 Senate committee markups. As lawmakers and industry groups try to align on a workable framework, negotiators are still wrestling with unresolved fault lines—especially how (or whether) to protect DeFi developers—while parallel committee processes add procedural pressure to produce a unified bill text.
