The Senate Banking Committee shifted its focus to housing, delaying the review of the crypto market structure bill by several weeks.

On January 22, according to Bloomberg, the U.S. crypto market structure bill is expected to be delayed by at least several weeks, with deliberations potentially extending into late February or March, as the Senate Banking Committee shifts its legislative focus to align with Donald Trump's housing affordability policies. Meanwhile, the Senate Agriculture Committee still plans to release and advance its version of digital asset legislation, with a vote expected on January 27. This text will then need to be merged with the Banking Committee's version and submitted to the full Senate for consideration.
