The US Senate will consider a cryptocurrency market structure bill this week, which could be a major turning point for regulation.

According to former Fox News reporter Eleanor Terrett, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee will hold its first formal review of amendments to the Digital Asset Markets Clarity Act (HR 3633) on January 15th. The House of Representatives passed the bill in July 2025. The Senate version of the text will be submitted to senators this Monday or Tuesday, focusing on issues such as ethical guidelines for officials holding cryptocurrencies, the attribution of stablecoin yields, and DeFi regulation. This bill may proceed concurrently with the Agriculture Committee version. If passed, it will lay the foundational framework for the regulation of the U.S. cryptocurrency market.
