Crypto market structure bill markup delayed to last week of January, Senator Boozman says

Senator Boozman from the Senate Agriculture Committee announced that the markup for the cryptocurrency market structure legislation has been postponed until the last week of January. This legislation is critical for defining the regulations and structure of the crypto market, aiming for greater transparency and investor protection. Following weekend discussions, the anticipation for the final version of the bill has escalated among industry participants. Investors are increasingly concerned about how potential stricter regulations might impact the market, and should the bill pass, new rules could lead to significant changes in trading strategies. Consequently, increased short-term volatility in the market is a potential outcome.
