with only one week left before the U.S. Senate Banking Committee reviews the crypto market structure bill, bipartisan senators are intensifying negotiations on public officials' crypto ethics, stablecoin yields, bipartisan representation in regulatory agencies, and certain DeFi provisions. Multiple parties are signaling cautious optimism, with the review expected to take place on January 15. Meanwhile, the Senate Agriculture Committee may advance digital commodities-related reviews next week to avoid the potential government shutdown risk at the end of the month. The crypto industry is simultaneously increasing lobbying efforts this week, with the Digital Chamber organizing more than 40 institutions to visit Capitol Hill to communicate key points of disagreement with senators.
