Senate Republicans Push Ahead With Crypto Market Structure Vote

Senate Republicans are still trying to get this crypto market bill passed, even though they and the Democrats haven’t sorted out all their differences. Tim Scott, who heads the Senate Banking Committee, said they’re planning a hearing for next week, which shows they’re serious about moving forward.

Meanwhile, the Senate Agriculture Committee is trying to work with both sides to get this thing finalized. Democrats are pushing for extra protections, like making sure top government folks can’t personally cash in on crypto.

Apparently, they’ll need at least seven Democratic votes to get this bill through, according to people in the industry. Even though they’re talking, some important politicians are still pushing back, which could slow things down.

It really shows how tricky it is to get everyone on the same page about crypto rules in the US – everyone agrees we need some kind of oversight, but they can’t agree on how strict it should be, who has conflicts of interest, or how to protect people.
