Crypto market structure bill faces fractured industry reaction

A proposed compromise on a market structure bill, aimed at advancing stalled crypto legislation, has elicited mixed reactions from the industry. While some stakeholders are "pleasantly surprised," major players like Coinbase express discomfort with the language concerning stablecoin yield, fearing it could restrict product offerings. The bill directs regulatory agencies to draft rules for overseeing rewards, raising concerns about subjective criteria and potential limitations on tying rewards to transaction volume. Despite internal disagreements within the crypto community, the White House remains optimistic, with an adviser criticizing "uninformed" predictions about the bill's status.
