Lawmakers are revisiting a market structure bill to determine the future of the crypto industry in the US. Hearings this week will lay the groundwork for legislative guardrails for digital assets, potentially boosting the industry. The bill aims to clarify roles, classifications, and standards for crypto entities in the US.

This week, lawmakers will focus on stablecoin rewards, treatment of DeFi platforms, and blocking elected officials from profiting off crypto ventures. The stablecoin issue is a key negotiation point, with concerns about exploiting a loophole in regulations. DeFi advocates want to ensure developers are not unfairly burdened by the bill.

The Senate is expected to release new drafts of the market structure bill, aiming to discuss and revise details on Thursday. The goal is to create one comprehensive crypto bill that could take several weeks of discussion before potentially becoming law. Proponents hope to pass the bill before the 2026 midterm elections to maintain momentum.
