Senate Agriculture Committee Delays Crypto Market-Structure Bill Markup by Two Days
Severe winter weather and related Senate scheduling changes pushed the committee’s markup to Thursday at 10:30 a.m. ET.
The Senate Agriculture Committee postponed its planned markup of the crypto market-structure bill by two days and rescheduled the hearing for Thursday, January 29 at 10:30 a.m. ET [1][4].
Committee officials cited severe winter weather across the East Coast that disrupted travel and led to closures of the Senate and other government offices, forcing changes to the Senate schedule and delaying multiple committee hearings and funding votes; government officials also delayed a planned SEC–CFTC crypto meeting tied to the process [1][3].
This marks the second time the Agriculture Committee has rescheduled the crypto bill hearing, and one Senate source told Decrypt there is a '99%' chance the bill will receive no Democratic support, suggesting a likely partisan vote when the committee convenes [1][2].
The committee remains scheduled to meet Thursday at 10:30 a.m. ET; further adjustments could occur if weather or Senate scheduling issues persist [1][3].
