BlockBeats News, January 15: Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong stated that Coinbase will not support the current version of the bill before the Senate Banking Committee revises and votes on a comprehensive cryptocurrency legislation. Armstrong posted on X platform that, while appreciating the senators' efforts to promote bipartisan consensus, the draft is "worse than the current regulatory status," and "it's better to have no bill than a bad bill."The bill aims to clarify the jurisdictional boundaries between the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in digital asset regulation, define when digital assets are securities or commodities, and introduce new disclosure requirements. The Senate Banking Committee plans to hold a hearing and vote on the bill on Thursday morning.Armstrong pointed out that the bill has significant issues regarding DeFi, stablecoin yields, and other aspects, with some provisions potentially granting the government "unlimited access to personal financial records," eroding user privacy, while related revisions could "strangle stablecoin reward mechanisms." He also criticized the bill for weakening CFTC authority, making it subordinate to the SEC in regulation, which is detrimental to industry innovation.Insiders noted that Coinbase's public opposition "holds symbolic significance" and may influence the bill's final outcome. The stablecoin yield issue has become a focal point of controversy, with banking groups concerned that related mechanisms would drain deposits and impact community banks, while the crypto industry accuses banks of attempting to restrict competition.Despite this, some industry institutions still support advancing the legislation. Digital Chamber of Commerce CEO Cody Carbone stated they will continue to push for the bill to become law by 2026; Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse also expressed optimism about resolving differences through revisions.

PANews reported on January 14th that, according to CoinDesk, the U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee plans to release its cryptocurrency market structure bill on January 21st and hold a crucial hearing on the text of the bill on January 27th. The hearing, originally scheduled for January 15th (postponed Monday), will begin at 3 PM. The bill amendment hearing is a key step in advancing the legislative process, allowing senators to debate amendments, vote on whether to include them in the base text, and then vote on whether to submit the entire bill to the full Senate for consideration. The Senate Banking Committee will hold its own amendment hearing on its version of the bill this Thursday. The Banking Committee's draft bill was released around midnight Monday, but senators are expected to propose amendments before the hearing. Since the initial draft for discussion was released, the Agriculture Committee has not yet released the text of its draft bill. Outstanding issues include ethics provisions (addressing the connections between President Trump and his family with several crypto companies) and quorum rules (requiring bipartisan leadership of regulators such as the SEC and CFTC). Currently, both agencies have only Republican commissioners. Sources indicate that the Banking Committee's bill text also lacks provisions on ethics or quorum, so the current version is unlikely to gain bipartisan support.
