The cryptocurrency market regulation is making new progress. The U.S. Senate Banking Committee and Agriculture Committee both plan to hold votes on market structure legislation on January 15th, marking a significant breakthrough after extensive consultations throughout the past year.

If both committees approve the bill, the subsequent process will be as follows: first, coordination within the Senate, then integration with the "Digital Asset Market Clarity Act" passed by the House of Representatives, and finally submission for the President's signature to become law. Although this process involves several steps, the increased clarity of policy is undoubtedly good news for mainstream cryptocurrencies like ETH and BTC.

The market is awaiting the outcome of this vote. Once the bill becomes law, it is expected to bring a more regulated and transparent trading environment to the entire crypto ecosystem.

ETH0,64%

BTC1,53%

There's finally some progress, but don't get too optimistic. It will take at least half a year to complete this process.

Damn, there's finally some movement. If this really passes, maybe we can finally breathe a sigh of relief. See the real deal on January 15th, but then again, can these politicians ever get anything done all at once... Oh my god, we have to wait for the president to sign again. What year is it now? Standardization and transparency sound good, but ultimately, how it's understood depends entirely on their mood. We waited a whole year before with no movement. Is this really happening this time? Believe it or not, I'm a bit confused.

It's finally happening; the true picture will be revealed with the investment on January 15th. Clear policies are indeed a big positive for mainstream coins; it all depends on whether the House of Representatives will cause any trouble again. Wait until the bill passes before celebrating; it's still too early to talk about regulation and transparency.

Is it the same old story, finally getting serious? Wait, from the Senate vote to the President's signature, how many more hurdles are there... The bad news is we still have to wait; the good news is that BTC is really going to be unlocked. The regulatory boots are landing—will this time be the real deal... I find it hard to believe. Honestly, the clarity has improved, but in the end, will it still be a one-size-fits-all approach? We'll see on January 15th, but I still bet this thing will be delayed another three months.

There's finally some movement; it's been a long wait, and it's not easy. Voting on January 15? Still feels uncertain; things on the US side tend to be unpredictable. Don't get too optimistic before it truly takes effect; this process takes at least half a year to settle. Positive news is good, but I also want to know how regulations will apply to smaller tokens.

Finally some progress, but don't get too excited, there are still several hurdles to overcome. Honestly, clearer regulation isn't necessarily a good thing for the crypto world. The real deal will be on January 15th, and we'll have to stay up late to watch the market. Whether BTC and ETH can rise this time depends on the market reaction at the time of signing. Policy transparency is good, but I'm worried about some unexpected issues. It feels like after so many negotiations last year, it's finally going to be implemented? Hope it doesn't turn out to be a letdown. Waiting to see how the Senate votes; it feels a bit uncertain. Regulating the trading environment sounds good, but how exactly it will be managed is still unclear.

ngl this regulatory clarity sounds nice on paper but... back in my mining days we heard the same song and dance, then came the hammer lol. curious if this actually gets gas fees down or just creates more compliance overhead 👀

There's finally some movement, but don't get too excited... We don't know if this kind of voting will actually be implemented in the end.

It's finally coming to fruition. The regulatory process has been going on for over a year. The stance is good; now it depends on how the voting on January 15th turns out... It's a bit uncertain. If it passes, BTC and ETH will probably react; clarity is indeed needed.
