The Democratic Party is willing to return to the negotiating table, Senate Agriculture Committee's crypto legislation consultation now at a turning point
BlockBeats News, January 27th – Following a setback in negotiations on cryptocurrency market legislation in the Senate Agriculture Committee, a Democratic senator's aide stated that the Democratic side is still willing to return to the negotiating table to push for a bipartisan compromise. The aide revealed that at the beginning of the new year, Democratic members were somewhat caught off guard in the negotiations as the Republican side drafted a new version of the bill without sufficient consultation and had planned to proceed directly to markup in mid-January. In response, the Democrats hope to reengage with the committee chair, Republican Senator John Boozman's team this week before the vote, seeking to establish a bipartisan consensus.
The Senate Agriculture Committee was originally scheduled to hold a markup and voting session on cryptocurrency legislation this Tuesday but was postponed to Thursday due to severe weather in Washington. Meanwhile, some Democratic lawmakers are actively pushing for a restart of negotiations to reach a bipartisan-agreed text before the hearing. The cryptocurrency market structure bill aims to establish a federal-level digital asset regulatory framework, including clarifying the regulatory roles of the SEC and CFTC and related disclosure requirements. Analysts point out that given the need for both the Senate Banking Committee and the Agriculture Committee to separately advance their respective versions of the bill, bipartisan cooperation remains a key prerequisite for the smooth progress of the legislation.
