U.S. Crypto Legislation Nears Completion with Bipartisan Support

Brian Armstrong announced the cryptocurrency market structure bill is 90% finalized with bipartisan efforts. He has engaged Democrats and Republicans, aiming for submission before Thanksgiving. Production of a clear regulatory framework is expected to enhance capital flows for U.S. digital assets.

Regulatory changes may increase investment in ETH, USDC, and DeFi governance tokens. Armstrong’s statements advocate for innovation in the DeFi space, protecting users’ rights to stablecoin rewards. Immediate effects on market prices are seen as legislation nears completion.

“Despite the ongoing government shutdown in the United States, the momentum for clarifying the market structure bill is unprecedented. I have communicated with Senate Democrats and Republicans who hope to complete this work, and the bill is 90% finalized, with all parties working to determine the final 10%, and we are close to the goal. Coinbase will advocate for clear rules to protect innovation in the DeFi space and the rights of users to earn rewards in stablecoins. I am optimistic that the bill can be passed by the end of the year and hope it can be submitted for review before Thanksgiving.”
