The U.S. Senate Banking Committee's delay in discussing the Market Structure Bill has become one of the most watched topics in the crypto market this week. Some analysts warn that if the bill fails to pass, it could trigger a crypto winter. Meanwhile, U.S.-listed spot ETFs saw a net inflow of $1.81 billion this week, the largest weekly inflow since October.
