[U.S. Senator Agrees to Drop Amendment on Credit Card Swipe Fees to Avoid Jeopardizing CLARITY Act Review] January 27 news, according to Politico, Republican Senator Roger Marshall has agreed to no longer push his amendment regarding credit card swipe fees. The amendment could spark conflict between the financial industry and large retailers and threaten the review process of the 'Cryptocurrency Market Structure Act' (CLARITY Act). Due to severe winter storms across many parts of the United States, the Senate Agriculture Committee's originally scheduled bill markup meeting on Thursday has been postponed to Tuesday, February 3. The bill aims to clarify how financial regulatory agencies oversee the crypto industry, but discussions have been repeatedly delayed due to bipartisan support issues.
