Svmuureports that Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse stated that the next two weeks will be a critical window for advancing cryptocurrency legislation in the United States.
He pointed out that if the Senate Banking Committee fails to complete the markup of the bill in the near future, the probability of the bill passing will "significantly decrease," especially as the midterm elections approach, which could further politicize related issues.
Currently, the U.S. is pushing forward with the first federal-level crypto regulatory framework, involving the division of regulatory responsibilities between the SEC and the CFTC. Although the House version has been passed, progress in the Senate has been relatively slow. However, recent compromises on the issue of stablecoin yield could bring a turning point for progress this month.
