In Congress
Crypto executives flocked to Washington to advocate for their desired crypto market structure legislation. Some legislators and crypto industry figures had been optimistic that such a bill would speed through the Senate, but many of their estimated deadlines have come and gone by now. With the government still shut down, and lawmakers beginning to shift their attentions to campaigning for next year’s midterm elections, hopes of a bill passing by the end of the year are faltering.

Donald Trump isn’t exactly helping matters by becoming only more brazen in his crypto corruption. His supporters in Congress are now stuck with the prospect of explaining why they wouldn’t support language in the bill to limit crypto-related conflicts of interest by officeholders, while, in the background, Trump is swan-diving Scrooge McDuck–style into his more than $1 billion in crypto profits in under a year14 and flashing plans for a gold-plated ballroom funded by his crypto patrons.
