  • US Democrats could block the crypto market structure bill in the Senate until after the midterm elections in November, when the party has a strong chance of regaining control of the House, according to investment bank TD Cowen.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • The bank said the bill may not pass into law until 2027 and its full implementation could be delayed until 2029.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Political manoeuvres by the US Democratic Party could delay passage of the much-anticipated crypto market structure bill (CLARITY Act) until 2027, investment bank TD Cowen said in a Monday note.<\/p>\n

    Achieving bipartisan consensus and getting the bill passed before the US Midterm elections in November 2026 could be a tall order, TD Cowen warned. The financial services firm had said in late 2025 that Senate Democrats \u201care not interested in moving quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n

    This week the bank\u2019s research arm, led by Jaret Seiberg, reiterated that the Democrats\u2019 belief in their chances to regain control of the House in November could stall progress. TD Cowen said the legislation\u2019s full implementation could stretch out to 2029.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    It\u2019s currently a toss-up for which party is best-placed to wrest control of the House. However, low approval ratings for President Donald Trump and recent Democratic victories, such as the election of Zohran Mamdani in New York, bode well for the Democrats\u2019 prospects.<\/p>\n

    Election outcomes are always uncertain, which is why Democrats may cut a deal.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \u201cThat could happen quickly, as staff have been working on the technical language for months,\u201d Seiberg wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    A key sticking point for Dems is the inclusion of provisions designed to reduce conflicts of interest arising from government officials, including President Donald Trump and his family, profiting from crypto projects. That would be a \u201cnonstarter\u201d for Trump, according to Seiberg.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    \n
    \n

    Time favors enactment as the problems disappear if the bill passes in 2027 and takes effect in 2029. Crypto would need to accept that the presidential election could impact the final rules, and Democrats would need to accept that the conflict provision will not apply to Trump.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    While the CLARITY Act was passed by the US House of Representatives in mid-2025, ongoing debate over the bill\u2019s inclusions meant it didn\u2019t proceed to a vote in the Senate. In the Senate, the bill is named the Responsible Financial Innovation Act.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Senators from both parties met again on Tuesday, 6 January, to relaunch talks over the market structure bill. While no official announcement has been made on the next step in the negotiations, Republican Senator John Kennedy reportedly told a Punchbowl News journalist that a bill markup (a session where senators debate amendments) would happen \u201cnext week\u201d.<\/p>\n

    \u201cMy understanding is that the chairman is gonna have a vote, come hell or high water, on Thursday for the next week,\u201d Kennedy reportedly said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
