Senate

Senator Cynthia Lummis is leading bipartisan efforts to pass digital asset market structure legislation by the end of 2025, with committees preparing to advance the bill soon. Additional blockchain developments like the launch of Frontier Stable Token in Wyoming and regulatory initiatives such as Project Crypto indicate growing momentum in U.S. crypto regulation.

Republican senators, including Cynthia Lummis, have introduced ‘Crypto Market Structure Principles’ as a foundation for the Senate’s CLARITY Act. These principles aim to clearly distinguish digital asset securities from commodities, provide focused regulatory authority, foster innovation, guide financial institutions, and protect customers. While the timeline for the Senate’s market structure bill remains uncertain, active discussions continue in both chambers of Congress.

New U.S. legislation focuses on integrating strict anti-money laundering protections in cryptocurrency regulations, addressing national security concerns highlighted by Senator Elizabeth Warren and supported by bipartisan lawmakers.

As President Trump prepares for a significant trip to the Middle East, Senate Democrats, including Elizabeth Warren and Chris Van Hollen, are calling for him to divest from his stablecoin investments to avoid conflicts of interest.

As Senate Democrats enhance their scrutiny of Trump’s crypto dealings, significant regulatory changes are anticipated for the digital asset market in the U.S. A newly proposed bill outlines the roles of the SEC and CFTC, while Sen. Jeff Merkley’s 'End Crypto Corruption Act' targets potential corruption risks within the sector.
