Republican Senator Roger Marshall has agreed to hold back on pushing an amendment on credit card swipe fees during the Senate Agriculture Committee’s markup of a major crypto bill. The meeting was delayed due to a winter storm. The bill focuses on how financial regulators will oversee the crypto sector and has been impacted by bipartisan support efforts.

The amendment, which would have jeopardized the progress of the crypto bill, was backed by Democratic Senators but faced opposition from some Republicans. The White House is pushing for the bill’s passage as the risk of a government shutdown looms. Republicans are seeking policy wins ahead of midterm elections.

The Senate Agriculture Committee released their version of the crypto bill, which lacked support from Democrats and included provisions to protect crypto software developers. The Senate Banking Committee’s markup may be delayed until late February or March as they focus on implementing the Trump administration’s affordability agenda.
