U.S. Senate Set for December Vote on Crypto Market Structure Bill

The post U.S. Senate Set for December Vote on Crypto Market Structure Bill appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

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 Rules

Senate 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.

Trump Wants America To Lead Crypto

President Donald Trump says the new crypto bill is an important moment for the United States. He believes clear and supportive rules can help America become the “crypto capital of the world.”

With the global competition rising from Europe’s MiCA framework to pro-crypto regulations in Asia and the Middle East, if the U.S. moves too slowly, it could fall behind.

This is why Trump says passing this bill is a big step. 

Bullish Impact On Crypto, Bitcoin

For a long time, unclear regulations stopped many big investors from entering the market. The bill could also push major financial institutions, like banks and investment funds, to enter the crypto market more openly. 

When large traditional investors bring billions of dollars into Bitcoin, the price usually responds with a strong upward trend.

As of now, Bitcoin is trading around $86,841, down slightly, with a market cap of $1.73 trillion.
