Written by Ohris M. Greyoon, Blockchain & Crypto Expert
- Legislative Acceleration: The U.S. digital asset market structure bill has entered a critical procedural stage with committee markups expected to begin imminently, marking a substantial start to the legislative process and potentially reaching the President by Q1 2026, indicating Congress's strong focus on digital asset policy.
- Enhanced Industry Consensus: Digital Chamber CEO Cody Carbone noted that committee markups are scheduled for next week, emphasizing the rapid advancement of the legislation and reflecting a growing consensus between industry advocates and lawmakers on the urgency of establishing regulatory certainty.
- Clarification of Regulatory Framework: Central to the bill is the determination of regulatory jurisdiction over digital assets, deciding whether they fall under the Commodity Futures Trading Commission or the Securities and Exchange Commission, which will reduce legal ambiguity for issuers, exchanges, and investors.
- Stablecoin Regulation Development: The bill will also establish limits and rules around stablecoin yields, addressing traditional banks' concerns about competition from digital platforms, and is expected to shape how stablecoins are integrated into both cryptocurrency markets and the banking system.
