The U.S. Senate has postponed the review of the cryptocurrency market structure bill to late February or March, shifting its focus to housing policy. This delay increases regulatory uncertainty, especially as Coinbase recently withdrew its support. Analysts suggest that the slower pace may impact short-term altcoin movements but will not alter the long-term institutionalization of the cryptocurrency market. Coordination among committees remains a key challenge.

BlockBeats news: On January 22, the U.S. cryptocurrency legislative process saw another shift. According to a Bloomberg report on January 21, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee has shifted its legislative focus to housing policy, and the bill on cryptocurrency market structure is expected to be delayed until late February or March for review. Previously, President Trump signed an executive order requiring restrictions on large institutional investors purchasing single-family homes, with housing costs being prioritized in current policy discussions.


Uncertainty regarding cryptocurrency legislation became evident last week. Coinbase withdrew its support for the relevant bill, and the need for the Senate Agriculture Committee to participate in finalizing the text has created inter-committee coordination challenges. Although a regulatory framework is still seen as the long-term direction, the market is unlikely to receive a clear timeline in the short term.


BiyaPay analysts pointed out that a slower regulatory pace helps the market absorb fluctuations in policy expectations. In the short term, it may amplify emotional swings, but it does not alter the long-term institutionalization trend of crypto assets. At this stage, investors should pay more attention to asset allocation and trading flexibility.
