Odaily Odaily星球日报讯 The progress of the crypto market structure bill has been limited recently, with Memorial Day on May 25 seen as a key deadline for advancing legislation. Market observers believe that if this window is missed, further progress on the bill could be hindered as the summer campaign season begins.
Currently, topics including stablecoin yields and DeFi sales activities are still under discussion. Last week, over 100 institutions jointly urged the Senate Banking Committee to initiate the bill review process and advance the Clarity Act to the next stage. The market structure legislation aims to codify crypto regulatory rules into law, reducing the risk of future policy reversals.
