【Crypto World】Senator Boozman, Chairman of the U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee, recently announced a schedule adjustment—the originally planned review meeting of the cryptocurrency market structure bill scheduled for this week has been postponed to the last week of January.

Why the delay? Essentially, it is to leave more room for bipartisan negotiations. Bills involving cryptocurrency market regulation require acceptance from both Democrats and Republicans, so having more time to maintain consensus is very necessary.

This news indicates that the U.S. attitude towards structured regulation of the cryptocurrency market is still evolving. Over time, regulators’ emphasis on this topic has been increasing, although progress may not be very rapid, the direction is clear. For industry insiders paying attention to U.S. policy developments, the review results at the end of January could bring some anticipatory changes to the market.

Postponed again? This routine is quite skillful, the traditional tug-of-war between the two parties. Regulation is like squeezing toothpaste, slow and sluggish... but the direction is indeed correct. Expect results by the end of January? They'll probably change the date again by then haha. Is it really so hard for these two parties to agree? Feels more unpredictable than the crypto price trends. Finally, someone is taking crypto seriously. Although slow, it's still better than chaos. Let's wait a bit longer; anyway, the market has gotten used to waiting. The current attitude is much better than two years ago, at least it's on the agenda.

延期 again? The old routine of both parties sharpening their knives, with regulation always "next week." Will this thing finally pass, or will it be delayed until next year again? It's already January and still negotiating; the efficiency is truly remarkable. A rollercoaster, I wonder if this bill will fall through... Bipartisan consensus? Ha, I think each side has its own good plans. Delays are good news, giving the crypto world a chance to breathe. When will the real shoe drop? Who knows. If this keeps up, the bill will be as old as I am before it's finalized.

delay's honestly just regulatory mempool congestion at this point... two-party consensus building is basically a high-fee transaction nobody really wants to pay for lol

It's delayed again. This routine has been played out. Partisan bickering is still the same old story. When will regulations finally be implemented? It was supposed to be in January, but it might be pushed back again.
