🚨 POLITICS: SENATOR HAGERTY CONFIRMS CRYPTO MARKET STRUCTURE BILL HEADING TO BANKING COMMITTEE NEXT WEEK @SenatorHagerty (R-TN) confirmed at the Digital Assets and Emerging Tech Policy Summit at Vanderbilt that the crypto market structure bill will enter the Senate Banking Committee starting next week, with the goal of passing it out of committee in April. "We're very close, and my expectation is that we get it into committee in this next work period that starts on Monday of next week," Hagerty said. "There are several issues still outstanding, I think none of them are insurmountable." He acknowledged "there's still a lot more work to do." The bill, originally titled the CLARITY Act when it passed the House in July, would shift primary crypto oversight from the SEC to the CFTC. It has been delayed by government shutdowns, stablecoin yield disputes, and ethics concerns. The Senate Agriculture Committee has already advanced its version.
