US Crypto Market Legislation Delayed to 2026, Senate Banking Committee Unable to Complete Review Within the Year

According to Cointelegraph, the US Senate Banking Committee has confirmed that it will not be able to complete the marking process for crypto market structure legislation in 2025, with related hearings postponed to early 2026. As the final legislative week of 2025 approaches, members of both houses of Congress will begin to return home for the holidays this Wednesday, causing the legislative process to be interrupted. It is reported that the committee has been working on drafting a bipartisan consensus version of the bill text for the past two months, and it is currently uncertain whether the latest draft will be released before the recess. Meanwhile, the Senate Agriculture Committee has not yet scheduled a review date for its related text, further extending the legislative process originally planned to be completed within the year by the Senate leadership. This delay will keep the crypto industry operating in regulatory uncertainty for at least a few more months.
