The U.S. Senate is gearing up to vote on a major crypto market structure bill in December. If approved, this bill could finally give clear rules for digital assets in the country.
Meanwhile, it also supports President Trump’s plan to make America the “crypto capital of the world” and grow Bitcoin adoption.
US Senate Moves To Vote on Crypto RulesSenate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott says both the Senate Banking and Agriculture Committees plan to approve their versions of the crypto market bill by the end of December. A full Senate vote could happen in early 2026.
If passed, this bill would decide when cryptocurrencies are treated like commodities or securities, and which watchdog, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), has primary control over different parts of the market
There are also three other important things that bills focus on.
- Clear rules for trading and custody of digital assets
- Stronger protection for investors and users
- Support for crypto firms that follow proper compliance
The crypto industry has been asking for this kind of clarity since the early days of Bitcoin.
