Senate Republicans are intensifying efforts to advance comprehensive crypto market structure legislation before November's midterm elections, with White House crypto adviser David Sacks expressing confidence that lawmakers are "closer than ever" to passage. As reported by CoinDesk and DL News, key negotiations continue over critical issues including decentralized finance oversight and stablecoin yield restrictions, with banking industry lobbyists pushing back against crypto reward programs. Senate Banking Committee leaders Tim Scott and John Boozman have confirmed markup sessions are scheduled for January, though several fundamental questions remain unresolved. The legislation would establish clear jurisdictional boundaries between the SEC and CFTC while providing regulatory pathways for digital asset exchanges and dealers. Political observers warn that election-year dynamics could complicate passage, particularly if Democrats withdraw support over unresolved concerns about DeFi regulation and traditional banking protections.
