U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Chairman John Boozman announced that progress has been made in bipartisan discussions regarding legislation to address the structure of cryptocurrency markets. The markup for this legislation has been postponed to allow further negotiations.
“I remain committed to advancing bipartisan crypto market structure legislation. We have made meaningful progress and had constructive discussions as we work toward this goal. I appreciate the leadership and engagement of Senator Booker and his team as we address these complex policy issues. To finalize the remaining details and ensure the broad support this legislation requires, additional time is needed before moving to markup. The committee will mark up this legislation during the last week of January,” Boozman stated.
The Senate Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Committee is responsible for shaping national policies related to agriculture, nutrition, forestry, and rural affairs through reviews, studies, and oversight hearings according to its official website. Established in 1825, it is one of the standing committees within the United States Senate official website. The committee also oversees issues such as crop protection, food security, environmental conservation, and agricultural commodities programs nationwide.
As bipartisan talks continue on cryptocurrency market structure legislation, the committee plans to revisit marking up the bill at the end of January.
