Source: CryptoNewsNet Original Title: Senate Agriculture’s crypto market structure draft peppered with Democrat pitches Original Link: Some of the U.S. Senate Democrats in the negotiation over the crypto market structure bill filed requested amendments on Friday, seeking a number of their top policy requests in the draft legislation pushed by Republicans in the Senate Agriculture Committee.

The draft they’re trying to change was unveiled as a partisan effort without Democratic sign-off on Wednesday, so now the lawmakers are trying to insert such things as a ban of the president (and other government officials) profiting off of the crypto sector and a demand that the Commodity Futures Trading Commission fill out its slate of commissioners before digital assets rules can go into effect.

The Agriculture Committee is set to hold a hearing next week that could possibly advance the bill to the overall Senate, though many close observers expect the session to be delayed because of the epic snowstorm predicted to strike the Washington area over the weekend.

The Democrats are undermining again... That's why regulation can never be effective; everyone has their own agenda.

What is the Democratic Party up to again, with a bunch of amendments... Do these people really understand crypto or is it just a political show?

The Democrats are causing trouble again, it's really annoying. Can't these people just vote directly? Do they have to go through some amendment?

Are they going to change the bill again? These Democrats really can't sit still. They were still fussing over amendments on Friday... When will our coin price take off? I'm dying of FOMO.
