The Crypto Market Structure Act in the U.S. Congress has been delayed due to the Trump administration's push for housing policies, with the review now expected to take place in February or March. Meanwhile, the Agriculture Committee released a version of the crypto bill, but the absence of Democratic members has raised concerns about political disagreements.

【ChainNews】The US Congress’s Crypto Market Structure Bill faces new delays. According to the latest report from Bloomberg, due to the Trump administration’s focus on promoting “affordable housing” policies, the Senate Banking Committee has adjusted its priorities, and the crypto-related legislation originally scheduled for recent review has been postponed again. Industry insiders expect the bill’s review to be pushed back to late February or even March.

It is worth noting that although the government has publicly expressed support for the development of the crypto industry, housing issues are still regarded as a core topic affecting US inflation levels and political elections, thus receiving higher priority on the agenda.

Meanwhile, the Agriculture Committee’s version of the crypto bill was officially released this Wednesday, and the committee plans to review it on January 27. However, the absence of Democratic Senator Cory Booker has raised concerns. This move suggests that subsequent bill coordination and integration efforts may face greater political disagreements and negotiation difficulties.

Postponed again? Is it really a policy priority chaos? Housing issues have stalled crypto legislation, I didn't see this coming. Booker’s absence for endorsement? Is the Democratic Party just throwing shade? It might not even be reviewed by March, why is the progress so slow? The government verbally supports it, but in action, they keep pushing back for various reasons. I've seen through it.

Ah, another delay, really a back-and-forth tug-of-war🙄 Politics are like this, the promised priority suddenly changed Cory Booker’s absence is a bit interesting, is he giving us the cold shoulder? Housing is much more important than our crypto circle By March, it might be too late, even the chrysanthemums will have withered Betting on it, it will still end in failure When will we be free from political manipulation? Wait, wait, I know this routine too well So supporting crypto is just lip service This move, the crypto circle should get used to it

Housing policy priorities are back on the agenda... At this rate, passing the crypto bill this year would be a win. Waiting until March again? I told you, politicians say they support crypto, but as soon as they turn around, they're caught up in housing issues. What does Cory Booker's absence mean? Is the Democratic Party still not unified? The Agriculture Committee is scheduled to review on January 27th. Could this be an opportunity? Wait... Does this mean the Infrastructure Bill is off the table, but there are other options?

Postponed again? That's ridiculous. Where is the support that was promised... Housing policies are being sidelined, and cryptocurrency continues to be put on hold. We're all used to it. Booker doesn't endorse, and the Democrats are causing trouble again, making coordination extremely difficult. Waiting until March? The season is already over; the market has long reacted. Politics are like this—support in words, but actions speak otherwise.

Housing issues are bottlenecked, politics are always like this It's another delay, I bet March will still be pushed back It's interesting that Cory Booker doesn't endorse... Democratic Party internal division? Cryptocurrency always comes last, not surprising Claim to support crypto, then turn around and prioritize housing, a typical hypocritical politician move Will the version from the Agriculture Committee pass? Feels uncertain With this pace, it seems the market rally is cooling down
