us might actually get real crypto regulations in january. clarity act heading to markup
senator lummis and other pro-crypto lawmakers have been pushing hard on market structure, and now the next near-term milestone looks like a senate committee markup in january 2026 (at least according to david sacks and the committee chairs involved).
the timing is pretty intresting because a lot of things are starting to line up. the sec’s “project crypto” push (from chair paul atkins) is basically trying to move away from pure enforcement and toward clearer buckets for how different tokens get treated. but to be clear, that “token taxonomy” idea is still a direction and not a finalized rule yet.
separately, banking regulators are moving too. the fdic approved a deposit insurance application for erebor bank (a digital asset focused bank) with conditions, which is a signal shift even if it’s not the same as “everyone gets insured tomorrow.” and the fed is exploring a more limited kind of payments access (“payment accounts”), though that’s still in the feedback stage and doesn’t automatically open the door for every crypto firm.
david sacks says we’re closer than ever to getting the market structure bill over the line. the big question is whether the senate can actually agree on the hard parts (like aml and defi).
the january markup is definitely worth watching, because if this gets real clarity into law, it changes how serious capital thinks about the space. not instant moon stuff. just fewer question marks.
