[Senator Marshall to Remove Credit Card Fee Clause from Crypto Bill Amendment]
According to Cointelegraph, citing Politico, U.S. Republican Senator Roger Marshall has agreed not to push forward with a proposed amendment regarding credit card fees during the Senate Agriculture Committee's review of a key cryptocurrency bill next week. The amendment aimed to enforce competition on swipe fees for businesses, but the White House intervened, believing that this move could jeopardize the progress of the entire crypto bill.
The Senate Agriculture Committee was originally scheduled to review the market structure bill this Thursday, but it has been postponed to February 3 due to winter storms sweeping across many parts of the U.S. The bill aims to clarify the regulatory responsibilities of financial oversight agencies over the crypto industry, but the review process has been repeatedly delayed as the bipartisan committee seeks to garner cross-party support.
