What is the Crypto Market Structure Bill?
The crypto market structure bill aims to create clear rules for digital assets in the US. It would define who regulates what – like giving the CFTC power over non-security cryptos. This includes spot markets for Bitcoin and others. Right now, rules are messy, causing delays and uncertainty.
Recent moves show progress. US Senate Democrats plan to restart talks soon. They met with crypto leaders and bankers at the White House. The goal? Fix issues like stablecoin rules by month’s end. A compromise idea: Let community banks hold stablecoin reserves and even issue their own. This could speed things up.
Plus, the CFTC just dropped a Biden-era rule that blocked prediction markets on events like elections. New chair Mike Selig called it bad policy. Now, firms like Coinbase and Cboe want in. With Trump support, the CFTC could lead crypto regs.
