Senator Boozman's draft crypto market structure bill advances as Senate Banking shifts to Trump's housing agenda

On January 21, 2026, Senator John Boozman released a draft crypto market structure bill that is set for markup on January 27, 2026, while Republicans and Democrats remain split on core policy issues. The proposal centers regulation on crypto intermediaries and largely excludes DeFi, self-custody wallets, and non-custodial interfaces, and its progress may be pushed back as the Senate Banking Committee prioritizes President Trump's affordability initiative and related executive order on single-family home purchases.
