TechFlow news: On January 27, according to Politico, Republican Senator Roger Marshall has agreed to withdraw his amendment targeting credit card swipe fees—a provision previously viewed as a potential obstacle to the passage of the crypto market structure bill. White House officials have stepped in to facilitate discussions, aiming to ensure the bill advances smoothly through committee review.
Meanwhile, due to severe winter storms across multiple U.S. regions, the Senate Agriculture Committee’s scheduled markup session for the bill—originally set for Thursday—has been postponed to Tuesday, February 3. The bill seeks to clarify how financial regulators should oversee the crypto industry but has faced repeated delays amid bipartisan disagreements over support.
