Negotiations on the U.S. crypto market structure bill may be postponed until January next year

BlockBeats News, December 13 — According to sources, due to several key disagreements remaining unresolved, negotiations in the U.S. Senate regarding the cryptocurrency "Market Structure Bill" may be postponed until January next year. This bill is currently the core lobbying target of the crypto industry, but as the holidays approach, Democrats, Republicans, the White House, and the crypto industry have yet to reach a consensus amid ongoing multi-party negotiations.

The main unresolved issues include: ethical standards for government officials participating in digital assets (especially involving Trump himself), whether stablecoins can be linked to yields, the scope of authority of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in token regulation, and the regulatory boundaries for decentralized finance (DeFi). Despite these disagreements, the pace and intensity of Senate negotiations remain high, and industry lobbyists are still hopeful that the bill will enter the formal committee review stage in the coming weeks.
