Rumors Spread of May Signing for U.S. Crypto Market Structure Bill... “Ultimately Headed to the White House”
As the White House steps in to directly mediate between traditional banks and the digital asset industry, expectations are rapidly growing that the U.S. cryptocurrency market structure bill will receive final approval in the first half of the year.
In a video released on February 11 (local time), Paul Barron, host of the cryptocurrency YouTube channel Paul Barron Network, analyzed that the White House-led meeting between the two industries could serve as a decisive catalyst to accelerate the delayed legislative process. According to data from prediction market platform Polymarket, the probability of the bill being enacted into law within 2026 currently stands at 57%, reflecting the digital asset market’s strong desire for regulatory clarity.
Patrick McHenry, Chairman of the U.S. House Financial Services Committee, added momentum to the legislative push by stating that President Donald Trump is developing concrete plans to sign the bill before Memorial Day at the end of May. However, major firms such as Coinbase and traditional banks, which generate substantial annual net interest margins, remain at odds over provisions prohibiting stablecoin yield payments, raising the possibility of a compromise that excludes the yield clause.
Key drivers behind the legislation include the strong execution power of David Sacks, who serves as the Trump administration’s crypto czar, as well as the significant political funding secured by pro-crypto super PACs. Major institutions led by BlackRock are demanding a clear legal framework to take the lead in the asset tokenization market, and President Trump’s family’s direct involvement in related businesses is also fueling optimism for the bill’s passage.
On the other hand, a potential federal government shutdown scheduled for mid-February and escalating geopolitical tensions surrounding Iran are cited as major variables that could divert congressional focus and slow the legislative process. The banking sector continues intense lobbying efforts to block fintech firms from gaining direct access to the Federal Reserve’s payment systems, and such resistance remains a significant obstacle to political consensus.
Digital asset market experts note that as Bitcoin (BTC) consolidates within the $60,000 to $70,000 range in a bottoming-out process, the outcome of this legislation will serve as a key milestone in determining the market’s future direction. Even if congressional action faces some delays, analysts widely believe that the overall regulatory environment has already entered an improvement phase, with crypto-friendly figures being appointed to leadership positions at the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
