The U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs announced that it will hold a markup on comprehensive digital asset market structure legislation on January 15, 2026, moving toward a final committee product intended to set clearer federal rules for digital assets. The committee framed the effort as aimed at establishing “rules of the road” for digital assets while protecting retail investors and addressing risks from criminal and foreign adversary misuse of new technology. The release traces the work back to the committee Republicans’ market structure principles issued in June 2025, followed by multiple hearings and discussions with the Trump administration, a discussion draft and request for information from dozens of industry stakeholders in July 2025, and a second discussion draft published in September 2025 reflecting stakeholder feedback and bipartisan negotiations.
