Sources: House Democrats Discuss Broader Crypto Market Structure Bill

深潮 TechFlow reports, Nov. 5 — According to journalist Eleanor Terrett, three industry sources who have spoken with Democratic staff said House Democrats are discussing expanding the Crypto Investor and Consumer Rights Act amendment introduced by Rep. Maxine Waters in 2025 into a broader crypto market structure bill, to be introduced in the next Congress.

According to reports, the proposal under discussion would incorporate provisions from the “CLARITY Act,” which Waters previously introduced in the House but did not advance, and some provisions agreed upon by Senate Democrats and Republicans before the September cloture vote. The discussions include expanding the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)’s regulatory role over crypto markets while limiting the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)’s authority; they may also add ethics rules restricting President Trump and other federal officials from crypto activities. Republicans have called it a “political statement bill.”
