US Senate Banking Committee Sets Hearing Date for Cryptocurrency Market Structure Bill on January 15
The legislative landscape for the US cryptocurrency industry has reached a critical turning point, as the Senate Banking Committee has officially set the hearing date for the "Digital Asset Market Transparency Act" (referred to as the CLARITY Act, also known as the cryptocurrency market structure bill) for January 15, 2026 (Thursday). The committee chairman, Republican Tim Scott from South Carolina, announced this decision after a series of tense closed-door meetings in early January.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is now fully controlled by Republicans, and favorable rules for cryptocurrency are expected to be introduced in 2026. The agency will continue to implement last year's rule-making efforts that supported cryptocurrency, as Republicans are generally more friendly to the cryptocurrency industry than Democrats. It is reported that the US Senate is expected to vote on the cryptocurrency market structure bill soon.
