📅 2. februāris | Saskaņā ar investīciju bankas TD Cowen teikto, kripto likumdošana Amerikas Savienotajās Valstīs varētu palikt bloķēta neierobežoti, ja prezidents personīgi neiejauksies, lai piespiestu vienošanos starp divām nozarēm, kurām teorētiski vajadzētu vēlēties to pašu, bet kas tagad ir sadalītas kā nekad agrāk.

📖Analīze nāk no Jareta Seiberg, TD Cowen Vašingtonas pētniecības grupas vadītāja, kurš norādīja, ka šodien notikušajā sanāksmē, kuru organizēja Baltā nama kripto cara Deivida Saksa vadībā, piedalījās banku grupas, kripto asociācijas un Coinbase, un tā galvenā strīdīgā tēma ir: kā būtu jāapstrādā stabilo monētu atlīdzības.

Introduction:

In the United States, a major piece of crypto legislation — often called the Crypto Market Structure Bill or Clarity Act — is one of the hottest regulatory topics in Washington today. Lawmakers, industry leaders, and regulators are debating how to create clear rules for digital assets. The latest shows both progress and political friction.
What Happened

U.S. lawmakers have been working for more than a year on a bill designed to define how crypto markets operate under U.S. law — clarifying which regulators oversee various parts of the industry and how digital assets should be treated. The House passed its version of the bill in 2025, but the Senate is still debating the details, and progress has been uneven. Key updates from the past week include:

The Senate Agriculture Committee advanced the bill, aiming to give the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) clearer authority over crypto markets.
A White House meeting with crypto and banking leaders is scheduled to try to resolve disagreements over key provisions, especially around stablecoins and regulatory jurisdiction.
Industry voices — including major exchanges like Coinbase — have voiced concerns about specific parts of the legislation, showing that some crypto firms want changes before they formally support the framework.

Analysts and legal experts say this bill could be one of the most important pieces of crypto policy in years, but it still faces obstacles in Congress and could take longer than expected to become law.
Why It Matters

For the crypto ecosystem — whether developers, exchanges, traders, or curious observers — this bill represents a long-awaited attempt to finally put clear federal rules around digital assets. Right now, much of crypto in the U.S. is regulated by a patchwork of agencies with overlapping authority. The proposed bill aims to change that with a structured regulatory framework.

Here’s why this matters

Regulatory clarity: Clearer definitions can help businesses know which agency oversees their activities — reducing uncertainty.Consumer protections: Many lawmakers want the bill to include user safeguards, especially around things like custody and stablecoins.
Institutional participation: Clear rules could encourage more traditional financial players to engage with digital assets.
Market confidence: A transparent structure can help ordinary users better understand the rules, potentially boosting confidence in the space.
Political negotiation: Because crypto intersects finance, technology, and banking, lawmakers from different parties and industries are negotiating heavily — which affects the timeline.
Key Takeaways

The U.S. Crypto Market Structure Bill aims to create clear laws for digital assets — including defining regulatory authority and market rules.
The House already passed its version; the Senate is actively debating amendments now.
Major industry actors, regulators, and banking leaders are involved in negotiations — showing how impactful these rules could be.
Delays and disagreements mean final passage isn’t guaranteed by a set date yet.This process matters because it could shape how crypto operates legally in the U.S. for years to come.
