The U.S. Congress is moving forward with a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies. The comprehensive legislation led by Senator Tim Scott, Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee and a Republican, is expected to be actively pursued this year.

**January 15th Amendment Vote Schedule Confirmed**

Senator Scott has decided, after consultations with Democratic and Republican members, to hold hearings and a vote on the crypto market structure bill this month. Senator Scott officially notified members that "a meeting to amend the market structure bill will be held on Thursday, January 15th."

**Six Months of Negotiations**

This bill has been developed over more than half a year through continuous communication between members of both parties. Scott explained, "All committee members will review multiple draft versions, and a vote will be conducted through a public record process."

**Remaining Uncertainties**

However, according to sources, it is unclear whether the bill has secured enough support from both sides as of the scheduled vote date. Given the ongoing differences in opinions regarding cryptocurrency industry regulation, attention should be paid to the final voting outcome.
