The Senate Banking Committee’s crypto market structure legislation is growing increasingly contentious, even as lawmakers count down the hours to the planned Thursday hearing, which will conclude with a vote on advancing the bill — or not.

However, this isn’t a confirmation of the hearing’s delay on Thursday.

A spokesperson for Lummis did not immediately answer a phone call. Spokespeople for Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Lack of support

A major U.S. crypto platform and one of the most significant global exchanges publicly withdrew its support for the bill late Wednesday, but this may not have a substantial impact on whether the markup hearing occurs or its outcome, multiple individuals familiar with the situation said.
