Despite a prolonged government shutdown, discussions surrounding the proposed crypto market structure bill continue within the U.S. Senate. Notably, Senator John Boozman of the Agriculture Committee is scheduled to meet with White House advisors David Sacks and Senator Cory Booker to finalize the draft of this anticipated landmark legislation for the cryptocurrency industry. The bill, initially approved by the House in July, has faced delays due to Democratic demands for provisions concerning DeFi protocols and the ongoing government shutdown. Uncertainty remains on whether lawmakers will prioritize crypto regulation over a crucial funding bill to reopen the government and restore full operational capacity at agencies like the SEC and CFTC.
