The Senate Banking Committee’s upcoming December 2025 vote marks the closest the U.S. has come to establishing a unified regulatory framework for digital assets.
The proposed legislation would finally settle the long-running SEC–CFTC turf battle by classifying Bitcoin and Ether as commodities under CFTC oversight. Beyond agency alignment, the bill introduces guardrails for crypto exchanges, aiming to prevent another meltdown like FTX by tightening rules on customer funds, conflicts of interest, and transparency. Yet bipartisan negotiations remain tense, with DeFi regulation emerging as a key sticking point that could shape how innovation evolves in the U.S. market.
As momentum builds and a presidential signature appears likely, the stakes for investors, institutions, and the broader financial system have never been higher.
