据报道，美国参议院民主党人将于Friday就CLARITY Act与来自加密货币行业的代表重新展开谈判。这一切发生在不到两天后，因为一场关于sweeping digital asset legislation的关键Senate Banking Committee听证会被临时推迟之后。延期源自周三夜间突然取消委员会拟就长期谈判的crypto market structure bill进行markup的计划，该法案原本被预计将数字资产的监管职责在Securities and Exchange Commission与CFTC之间划分。延期发生在Coinbase, the largest U.S.-based crypto exchange，撤回对草案的支持，理由是对stablecoin rewards programs的担忧，以及其认为给予SEC的权力过大的问题。
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said banks are trying to “kill their competition” with the crypto market structure legislation. Thursday marked a pause in public activity after the cancellation, but negotiations remain ongoing. Democrats from both the Senate Banking Committee and the Senate Agriculture Committee— which oversees the CFTC— are expected to join Friday’s call, along with representatives from crypto policy advocacy groups in Washington. The Banking Committee had been scheduled to hold an all-day session Thursday to debate amendments and vote on whether to advance the bill.
That plan unravelled late Wednesday after Armstrong said the company could not support the current version of the legislation. Shortly thereafter, Senate Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott, R-S.C., postponed the hearing. Despite the setback, several lawmakers involved in the negotiations said discussions are far from over. Sen. Cynthia Lummis, a leading crypto advocate in the Senate, said lawmakers were “closer than ever” to reaching agreement.
