Senate Moves Forward with Crypto Market Structure Bill
- The Senate’s crypto market structure bill is set for a committee markup in January.
- The CLARITY Act aims to define regulatory oversight between the SEC and CFTC.
- Senator Cory Booker expressed distrust in White House assurances on regulator appointments.

The Senate’s upcoming markup of the CLARITY Act represents a significant step towards establishing a federal framework for digital assets, addressing oversight by the SEC and CFTC. However, tensions arise as Democrats express concerns about potential expansions of executive power and favoritism toward well-capitalized firms.
