Correction to the calendar for the week - the bill on the structure of the crypto market will be considered by the U.S. Senate committee not on January 27, but on January 29. The meeting has been postponed, today is canceled. However, on January 29, there will be both this meeting and a lot of macro data. It will be a volatile day.
The U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry will hold a meeting specifically on January 29, and the agenda on its website clearly states the bill "On Intermediaries in the Digital Goods Market" (Digital Commodity Intermediaries Act). The meeting is scheduled for 10:30 AM Washington time (5:30 PM Kyiv / 6:30 PM MSK / 8:30 PM Astana).
The essence of the bill, let us remind you, is to establish rules for "intermediaries" in the digital goods market: trading platforms, brokerage services, settlements, and storage (in line with commodity regulation). Inside - definitions of what is considered a "digital good" (with exceptions like securities and stablecoins), and requirements for the operation of such companies: registration and supervision, capital and risk management requirements, separate accounting of client funds, disclosure of information, and control of conflicts of interest.
It is important that amendments from several senators have been submitted for the meeting (they are listed separately in the materials for the agenda), meaning that the text may be significantly "rewritten" during the committee's consideration.
By the way, the fact that the bill is being considered by the Senate Committee on Agriculture is not some kind of joke or scam. It is simply the committee that oversees the CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission) and everything related to "commodities/derivatives".
