Crypto’s new Capitol Hill headache
Pessimism is growing over whether the GOP’s centerpiece crypto legislation will become law this year.

A Senate GOP push to pass a sweeping crypto market structure bill that would establish a regulatory framework for digital assets is mired in controversy as Republicans and Democrats trade blame over stalled negotiations and struggle to agree on a path forward.
Following a public spat between Senate negotiators last week, aides and lobbyists close to the process have become more pessimistic about the bill becoming law this year — a remarkable momentum shift after a blowout bipartisan House floor vote on market structure legislation breathed life into the effort in July.
Since the House vote, problems have piled up for Senate Banking Chair Tim Scott (R-S.C.), who failed to deliver on a public promise to advance a bill out of committee in September — a delay he blames on Democrats.
