US lawmakers to meet with Trump’s crypto czar, discuss bill: Report
Some experts suggest that the US Senate is more likely to pass a funding bill to reopen the government before any crypto legislation.
Discussions over the digital asset market structure bill currently being considered in the US Senate are reportedly still happening amid the longest government shutdown in the country’s history.
According to a Tuesday Politico report, Republican Senator John Boozman with the Senate Agriculture Committee — one of the committees that will need to approve the bill before consideration in the full chamber — will discuss the market structure legislation with White House crypto and AI czar David Sacks and Democratic Senator Cory Booker. The reported call will come as lawmakers prepare to finalize a discussion draft of the bill.
The market structure bill is expected to be one of the most significant pieces of legislation affecting the crypto industry to come out of the current session of Congress.
