The year 2026 is poised to be a critical juncture for cryptocurrency regulations in the United States. Industry representatives estimate a 50-60% chance that a comprehensive law governing digital assets will be passed before the midterm elections. Although negotiations between Republicans and Democrats show promise, significant issues remain, primarily due to the intricate structure involving banking, securities, and commodities laws. Different drafts prepared by two Senate committees need to be combined and aligned with the Clarity bill, which has already passed the House of Representatives. Contents Key Points of Disagreement in the Draft Time Pressure and Election Season Concerns Key Points of Disagreement in the Draft Several core issues stand out in the cryptocurrency market structure draft that require resolution. Serious disagreements persist over how banks and cryptocurrency companies should regulate profit-generating stablecoins. Banking organizations argue that the GENIUS stablecoin legislation enacted over the summer is not comprehensive enough and fails to prevent issuers from offering interest on stablecoins. In contrast, cryptocurrency advocates assert that the ability of stablecoins to offer returns represents fair competition. Regulating decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols in terms of anti-money laundering and determining whether some coins fall under the jurisdiction of the SEC or the CFTC are among the contentious topics. Cody Carbone, CEO of the Digital Chamber, expresses concern over the SEC’s decision-making role, indicating it could signify a return to the critical approach seen during former SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s tenure. Additionally, President Donald Trump’s conflicts of interest within the cryptocurrency sector further complicate the legislative process. The Trump family has reportedly profited approximately $620 million through the World Liberty Financial project, a 20% stake in the American Bitcoin mining company, and meme coins named TRUMP and MELANIA. The shortage of commissioners at the CFTC, which emerged after four members resigned last year, has strengthened the Democrats’ position in the negotiations, leaving only one Republican commissioner. Carbone highlights that no senator would want to grant such extensive authority to a small agency meant to have a five-member commission. Time Pressure and Election Season Concerns The Senate Banking Committee plans to initiate the markup process at the beginning of the year, with progress reported in negotiations with Democrats. The committee’s spokesperson stated that Chairman Scott has made significant bipartisan progress on digital asset market structure regulations. For the bill to become law, the versions from the Senate Banking and Agriculture Committees must be merged, approved by the full Senate, and aligned with the Clarity bill that has passed the House of Representatives. Kevin Wysocki, head of policy at Anchorage Digital, emphasizes that lawmakers need to act within the first two quarters of next year, or else they risk focusing on election issues. Carbone expresses concern over the lack of markup in January committees and mentions optimism if he sees markup in both committees, a reconciliation bill in the Senate, and potentially a full Senate vote within the next six weeks. As midterm elections approach, Trump’s cryptocurrency conflicts of interest could become increasingly prominent. Rebecca Liao, CEO of Saga, notes that Democratic messaging is focused on affordability and that privileged gains by the president or those in his administration will continually be criticized. Following the 43-day shutdown ending in November, Congress temporarily funded the government through January 30, 2026, but another shutdown is possible if a new agreement is not reached. Liao emphasizes that even if comprehensive cryptocurrency legislation is not enacted in 2026, action is necessary. As financial institutions enter the cryptocurrency space, regulatory clarity is essential for cryptocurrencies to achieve genuine adoption and widespread use.

($TRUMP ) suggests it remains highly volatile and largely driven by speculation rather than fundamental utility. After falling sharply from its early peak, the token’s price continues to react to political news, social media attention, and shifts in investor sentiment tied to Donald Trump’s public profile. Analysts note risks such as concentrated token ownership and limited real-world use, while new initiatives aimed at boosting engagement have so far done little to change cautious market outlooks.$TRUMP
