The Senate Agriculture Committee postpones the hearing on the Crypto Market Structure Act to January 27

Odaily Planet Daily reports that the U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee has postponed its scheduled hearing on the Crypto Market Structure Act originally set for January 15. The bill text will be released on January 21, with a markup scheduled for January 27. The committee stated that this adjustment aims to ensure transparency in the legislative process and provide members with more time for review.
