The bill was championed by major crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle, and Ripple, all of which have sought a degree of regulation for the crypto industry.

If lawmakers fail to complete full Senate consideration and reconciliation before that period, the bill could be pushed deeper into the fall agenda, and the difficulty of passage will rise significantly.
