Crypto Market Structure Bill Markup Slips To Jan. 29 As Winter Storm Hits Capitol
The Senate Agriculture Committee's markup of the crypto market structure bill (CLARITY Act) has been postponed to January 29 due to severe winter weather disrupting travel and congressional scheduling. This delay adds to existing political uncertainty, as the legislation remains divided along party lines with only Republican members publicly supporting it so far. Despite the delay, the crypto industry has responded positively to the latest draft, praising its clear protections for noncustodial software developers and blockchain infrastructure providers, while notably excluding provisions on stablecoin yields. However, the overall legislative timeline remains unclear, with the Senate Banking Committee expected to delay its portion, potentially pushing broader negotiations into late February or March.
