Senate Banking Committee Postpones Crypto Market Bill to 2026

In a recent development, the US Senate Banking Committee has confirmed that the cryptocurrency market structure legislation will not be completed in 2025, with the next set of hearings now slated for early 2026. This postponement stems from the lawmakers' upcoming holiday recess, which has interrupted the ongoing bipartisan efforts that began two months ago. As a consequence, key players in the crypto space—including exchanges, custodians, and decentralized finance platforms—face extended regulatory ambiguity, prompting delays in their compliance implementations and risk strategies. Investors might hold off on commitments reliant on defined guidelines, whereas advocacy organizations could leverage this extra window to shape the legislation's outcome. Without a firm 2025 timeline, immediate mandates for reporting or licensing remain off the table.
