- Rep. Hill confirms bipartisan momentum for crypto bill
- The bill aims to provide clear U.S. crypto regulations
- Lawmakers seek to support innovation while ensuring safety
The U.S. crypto industry may be moving closer to long-awaited regulatory clarity. Representative French Hill recently stated that there is “strong bipartisan support” for the crypto market structure bill currently under discussion in Congress. His remarks suggest that lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are recognizing the need for comprehensive rules governing digital assets.
Why Bipartisan Support Matters
One of the key challenges in regulating cryptocurrencies has been the political divide over how to approach innovation versus investor protection. However, Hill’s comments highlight a shift: more Democrats and Republicans are finding common ground on the need for a clear framework.
This bill aims to define the roles of regulatory agencies like the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) and CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission), helping clarify whether tokens are securities or commodities. That clarity could reduce legal uncertainty, which has long been a barrier for both startups and institutional players in the U.S.
Building a Safe Yet Innovative Environment
The bipartisan support signals that Congress is serious about fostering innovation while protecting consumers. The bill is expected to include guidelines that encourage responsible blockchain development, improve market transparency, and ensure that U.S.-based crypto companies are not pushed offshore due to regulatory ambiguity.
Hill, who chairs the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Digital Assets, emphasized that the legislation could pass this year if momentum continues. This would mark a significant step in legitimizing and stabilizing the crypto ecosystem in the United States.
