US Senate may discuss digital asset market structure bill in December

The U.S. Senate may begin substantive discussions on a digital asset market structure bill in December, journalist Eleanor Terrett reported, citing industry sources. Terrett noted that a group of Democratic senators is reportedly preparing for a markup of a bipartisan bill during the week of Dec. 8. A markup is the process of debating and amending a bill before it is sent to the full chamber for a vote. Additionally, Senator John Boozman, Chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, has also reportedly expressed his desire to conduct a markup of the committee's draft bill in early December.
