Clarity Act amendments would remake key parts of crypto bill but have doubtful future

The U.S. crypto market structure bill is being targeted with dozens of amendments aiming to change or add to the text as its Senate hearing approaches. What to know : The crypto market structure bill's hearing in the Senate Banking Committee this week will consider a long list of amendments, virtually all of which won't have a chance of incorporation into the Clarity Act that's expected to advance with the committee's approval. The proposals — many of them from Democrats who have been critical of the bill — seek to erase or revise significant portions of the legislation that's been negotiated by lawmakers from both parties. Even a reference to Jeffrey Epstein made the list among dozens of amendments.
