Senator Lummis Warns of Potential Delay for Crucial Crypto Market Structure Bill Hearing

U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis has indicated that the highly anticipated hearing for the landmark cryptocurrency market structure bill could face postponement. The legislation, co-sponsored by Senator Lummis and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, aims to establish a comprehensive regulatory framework for digital assets in the United States. While the exact reasons and a new timeline were not specified, the potential delay highlights the ongoing legislative challenges in Congress. Market participants and crypto advocates are closely monitoring the situation, as the bill's progress is seen as a critical step towards regulatory clarity for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and the broader digital asset ecosystem. The delay could impact the legislative calendar, pushing debates on key issues like CFTC oversight and consumer protection further into the future.
