The Senate Banking Committee said it plans to mark up the latest draft of the bill next week. This is a big step because it would turn the proposal into a bill that could move through the approval process.
Republicans on the committee are confident that the negotiations are near the finish line. Democrats have not fully agreed on the timeline and some major points are still under discussion. Many of the requests from Democrats have been addressed but questions about ethics the treatment of DeFi and how stablecoins that give yield are handled still remain.
The markup hearing is planned for January fifteenth. A markup is a procedural step where committee members can debate and make changes to a bill before voting on it. Once the Banking Committee finishes its markup the Agriculture Committee which oversees the Commodity Futures Trading Commission will review the bill. That committee also has influence over crypto rules.
If both committees approve the bill it will be combined into one version for a vote in the full Senate. If the Senate passes the bill it will go back to the House which already passed a similar Digital Asset Market Clarity Act last year. Then the President would sign it into law.
Industry groups are active in supporting the process. Executives from Binance Square and other crypto firms plan to visit Senate offices this week. They want to explain why the bill is important and answer questions from lawmakers. The goal is to show broad support from people working in the crypto space while the committees make decisions.
The discussions include key issues for the industry. Lawmakers are considering how to regulate DeFi how stablecoins are treated and how to make rules clear for companies holding digital assets. Lobbyists say there has been progress but more work is needed before the bill can be finalized.
The industry sees the markup as an opportunity to clarify points that are still debated between Republicans and Democrats. Some concerns about oversight and ethics still need solutions but there is hope that the process will continue.
For now the market is watching closely. The next steps will show how much agreement can be reached and what the final law might look like. The involvement of both committees and ongoing conversations with industry representatives will shape the outcome. The Senate is taking steps to create a legal framework for crypto that could affect the future of digital assets in the United States.
This is an important moment for crypto companies regulators and investors as it could provide clear rules and more certainty for the industry.
