Senator Boozman Announces Delay of Key Crypto Market Structure Bill to Late January

The markup for the pivotal cryptocurrency market structure legislation has been postponed to the final week of January, according to U.S. Senator John Boozman. The delay impacts the timeline for the "Digital Asset Market Structure" bill, a key piece of legislation aimed at providing regulatory clarity for digital assets like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). Senator Boozman, a ranking member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, indicated that the committee needs additional time to refine the comprehensive draft. This legislative framework seeks to define the roles of the CFTC and SEC in crypto oversight, a critical step for the future of the U.S. crypto industry. Market participants are closely monitoring the progress, as the bill's outcome could significantly influence crypto regulation and institutional adoption.
