US congressional leaders plan revised crypto market structure bill

Following midterm elections, congressional leaders plan to draft a revised crypto market structure bill, with Senator Elizabeth Warren expected to chair the Senate Banking Committee.
Congressional leaders confirmed plans on November 6, 2026, to draft a revised crypto market structure bill following the November 4 midterm elections. The shift places Senator Elizabeth Warren in line to chair the US Senate Banking Committee in early 2027, according to a report cited by tmgm.com. Warren's reported priorities include mandatory registration rules under SEC oversight and strict consumer protection compliance.
The revised framework comes after the US CLARITY Act stalled in the Senate on September 15 when a procedural vote failed 49-50, as reported by tmgm.com. Party discussions now center on investor-protection legislation that could expand into broader market structure rules, alongside potential ethics provisions covering crypto-related activities by federal officials. Any final legislation faces the prospect of a presidential veto, which would require Republican support to override.
