Senator Lummis Advances Crypto Market Structure Bill

Senator Cynthia Lummis’s recent updates on the Crypto Market Structure Bill have sparked significant interest in the cryptocurrency space. At a Wyoming Blockchain Symposium, she highlighted the growing need for regulatory clarity within the industry as prices remain volatile and markets cool down. Analyzing the bill’s impact is crucial as it seeks to define crypto market structures while addressing issues such as agency roles like those of the SEC and CFTC. The Clarity Act, Lummis emphasizes, is a crucial step towards establishing strong regulations. She detailed the progress of this act by highlighting that the Senate Banking Committee will begin work on its version in September, followed by input from another committee in October. The goal is to have a complete bill ready for approval before Thanksgiving or Christmas.
