Benchmark calls crypto bill markup delay a constructive opportunity

U.S. investment bank Benchmark views the postponement of a key markup session for the crypto market structure bill as a constructive opportunity to improve the final legislation, CoinDesk reports. Benchmark explained that the committee could use the time to narrow fundamental disagreements, such as those over stablecoin revenue, and develop clearer regulations for tokenized securities. The Senate Banking Committee had previously postponed the markup, which was scheduled for Jan. 15.
