Lawmakers Propose Amending Crypto Market Structure Bill Before Markup

The American legislators of the Chamber’s Financial Services Committee is expected to meet on Tuesday for an audience of increase to consider a bill on the structure of the cryptocurrency market, which could be modified to add protections for blockchain developers.

According to a notice published before the hearing, the president of the French Hill committee introduced an amendment to the law on the clarity of the 2025 digital asset market, otherwise known as Clarity Act, focusing on the “treatment of certain non -controlling blockchain developers”. The amendment proposed that, under the potential law on the structure of the market, certain blockchain developers or service providers would not be considered as money issuers or subject to their registration requirements.

The provision of blockchain developers seemed to come from the law on the regulatory certainty of blockchain, the legislation led by representative Tom Emmer and a bipartite group of legislators in May. Many crypto advocacy groups, including the Blockchain Association, have called on legislators to combine the two bills.

The Tuesday marking hearing will include a crucial discussion and will vote for changes to the Clarity Act before potentially sending the bill to the full chamber. In the Senate, legislators should soon vote on the Act on Engineering – legislation aimed at regulating payment statements. The head of the majority of the Senate, John Thune, would have said that he wanted the bill “ended this week”.

“I think that the legislation on stablescoin has made incredible progress, largely because I think there is a fairly coherent bipartite consensus that it is in the interest of the United States to have reasonable rules for stabriscoins,” added May 27.
