The Senate committee strives to finalize the market structure legislation draft for review in December.
According to Golden Finance, Crypto In America reports that Senate staff are racing against the clock to finalize the market structure legislation draft before Thanksgiving. Senate Agriculture Committee Chair John Boozman (Republican, Arkansas) stated he is committed to achieving this timeline and noted that the government shutdown has delayed his original plan to review the bill this week.
House Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott (Republican, South Carolina) originally planned to complete the review of the banking bill by the end of September, but he has not yet indicated when the draft portion under his committee's jurisdiction will be submitted for a vote. The text of the draft has not been made public since it became a bipartisan product after last month's bipartisan roundtable discussions on Capitol Hill, and it is still unclear whether it will be released before the Thanksgiving holiday.
The draft leaves several key gaps, including how to regulate decentralized finance (DeFi), and the content in parentheses.
