🚨 US Senate crypto bill update – hot off the press!
Senate Ag Committee Chair John Boozman just released the updated crypto market structure bill text yesterday (Jan 21). It's GOP-led for now (differences remain with Dems like Cory Booker, no full bipartisan sign-on yet), focusing on giving the CFTC primary oversight of digital commodities, spot markets, exchange/intermediary registration, and cutting down on SEC enforcement overlap.
🎯Next big step: Committee markup on Tuesday, January 27 at 3:00 PM ET in Russell Building. This is where amendments get debated and it could advance (or hit roadblocks).
Why traders care:
- If it moves forward → clearer rules, less "regulation by surprise," more institutional money flowing in. Long-term bullish for BTC, ETH, major alts, and spot liquidity.
- Reality check: Committee stage only. Partisan vibes could stall it, and Banking Committee (Tim Scott side) is delayed (shifted to housing priorities), so reconciliation later will be messy.

This the regulatory clarity we've waited for since post-FTX days, or just more Capitol Hill delays? You dipping in anticipation, or holding cash for confirmation? Let's hear it 👇
