Abstract

The article discusses the advancement of digital asset market structure legislation by the Senate Agriculture Committee, which aims to designate the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) as the primary regulator of the digital asset industry, including spot commodities like Bitcoin. Key Democratic lawmakers express concerns about ethical safeguards, particularly regarding potential conflicts of interest involving President Donald Trump and his family's crypto investments. An amendment to restrict lawmakers and the president from engaging in digital assets while in office was rejected, with the committee chairman indicating that such ethics issues are beyond their jurisdiction. Meanwhile, a related measure in the Senate Banking Committee has stalled due to opposition from the banking industry regarding crypto rewards programs, and discussions are ongoing among industry officials and lawmakers.
