- Industry representatives reviewed new language for the stablecoin yield section of the crypto market structure bill on March 23 and 24.
- Senators Angela Alsobrooks (D-Md.) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) announced an “agreement-in-principle” regarding the bill.
- Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) anticipates a markup session for the bill in late April.
- Concerns include potential restrictions on stablecoin yield balances and new regulatory rules.
- A public release of the proposed language is expected next week, but major revisions are unlikely.
