The US Senate Banking Committee has again postponed the work on the long-awaited landmark crypto market structure bill that could create a regulatory framework for digital assets.<\/p>\n

Unnamed sources told Bloomberg<\/a> that the crypto market structure legislation may be delayed by several weeks. The panel is likely to consider it in late February or March, they added.<\/p>\n

Instead of focusing on the digital asset bill, the committee will pivot to housing legislation, following President Donald Trump\u2019s recent push for affordability<\/a>.<\/p>\n

President Trump wrote that he is taking \u201cimmediate steps\u201d on the housing bill, which remains a priority and \u201cAmerican Dream.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

The Committee\u2019s backburnering of the crypto bill has left the community in uncertainty, despite backers pushing for the urgent passage of the legislation.<\/p>\n

Patrick Witt, White House Executive Director of the President\u2019s Crypto Council, called for immediate implementation of the bill<\/a>. He said that it is unrealistic to expect a multi-trillion-dollar industry to operate without a comprehensive regulatory framework.<\/p>\n

The work on the crypto bill \u2013 called the CLARITY Act \u2013 stalled its planned markup after Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong publicly withdrew support<\/a> for the draft bill. Armstrong flagged several issues with the draft, including a de facto ban on tokenized equities.<\/p>\n

However, the Bloomberg report noted that the Banking panel\u2019s delay might not affect the Senate Agriculture Committee\u2019s efforts on crypto.<\/p>\n

The Agriculture Committee released its own version of that market structure bill, which the industry insiders fear might be a partisan bill lacking Democratic support.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile differences remain on fundamental policy issues, this bill builds on our bipartisan discussion draft while incorporating input from stakeholders and represents months of work,\u201d the Committee Chairman, John Boozman, clarified. Boozman postponed this legislation markup<\/a> to late January.<\/p>\n

The Agriculture Committee bill on crypto will need to get support from both Democrats and the Banking counterpart before it can continue further steps.<\/p>\n

\u201cI Hope to Sign Very Soon:\u201d Donald Trump<\/span><\/h2>\n

President Trump confirmed that the crypto market structure bill will be signed \u201cvery soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking at the World Economic Forum at Davos 2026, he said that his administration is working to ensure that America remains the crypto capital of the world.<\/p>\n
