U.S. Senate Advances Crypto Market Structure Bill – What’s Next? 🏛️🚀
The Senate Agriculture Committee narrowly voted 12–11 to advance its version of the crypto market structure bill, moving the broader CLARITY Act closer to a full Senate vote 📜. The bill aims to create clearer rules by giving the CFTC oversight of digital commodities like Bitcoin and Ethereum 🪙, while the SEC would regulate crypto assets sold as investment contracts 📊.
Supporters say this would reduce confusion, set registration rules for crypto platforms, and add consumer protections 🔐. Democrats pushed for stronger ethics rules and protections for developers and self-custody users, but proposed amendments were voted down ❌.
The House already passed its version in 2025, but the Senate remains divided 🤝. This vote is progress, but a final deal is still uncertain as negotiations continue ⚖️📈.
