SEC Leadership Bullish That Key Crypto Bill Will Reach Trump's desk In 2026

SEC Chair Paul Atkins expressed strong confidence that the bipartisan crypto market structure bill will be signed into law by President Trump this year, viewing it as crucial for providing regulatory clarity and making the US the world's crypto capital. Atkins praised the passing of the GENIUS act in 2025 as a step toward clarity. He emphasized that passing the market structure legislation is vital to move crypto asset markets out of the regulatory gray zone and future-proof against 'rogue regulators.' The bill, which aims to give the SEC and CFTC primary oversight, is seen as a major step forward. However, the Senate Agriculture Committee delayed its markup until late January to finalize details, and a potential government shutdown by January 30th could complicate the timeline.
