- Political dynamics suggest Democrats may delay passage if they anticipate gaining control of the House in the upcoming midterm elections.
- Key discussions are ongoing regarding a conflict of interest provision that could ban government officials from engaging in crypto businesses.
- A compromise under consideration includes delaying enforcement of conflict-of-interest policies for three years post-enactment.
