According to @EleanorTerrett, Senator John Boozman said the Senate Agriculture Committee is committed to holding a markup for its market structure bill in early December, indicating a near-term procedural milestone for U.S. digital asset regulation, source: Eleanor Terrett on X, Nov 12, 2025. The Senate Agriculture Committee oversees the CFTC, making this markup particularly relevant for proposals that could expand CFTC authority over digital commodity spot markets, source: U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry official site and Office of Senator John Boozman press release on the Digital Commodities Consumer Protection Act (2022). A committee markup is the formal session to debate and amend bill text before a vote, which traders track for timing signals on regulatory clarity, source: Congressional Research Service report on Senate committee markups.

According to @EleanorTerrett, industry stakeholders say the Senate Agriculture Committee market structure draft requires more clarity and additional work before they can offer support, highlighting unresolved policy details relevant to crypto market participants, source: X post by @EleanorTerrett dated Nov 12, 2025 and Crypto in America article headline.

According to @EleanorTerrett, the Senate Agriculture Committee has scheduled a nomination hearing next Wednesday for Mike Selig to lead the CFTC (source: @EleanorTerrett). She also noted the U.S. government is expected to be open again next week, setting conditions for the hearing to proceed on schedule (source: @EleanorTerrett). For traders, this establishes a specific regulatory headline to monitor that could influence positioning and liquidity around U.S.-listed crypto derivatives into and immediately after the hearing (source: @EleanorTerrett).

According to the source, Senate Agriculture leaders are advancing a plan to place U.S. crypto spot trading under CFTC oversight (source: the source post dated Nov 11, 2025). The CFTC currently regulates commodity derivatives, not comprehensive crypto spot markets, as described in the agency’s mission and authority statements (source: CFTC.gov). A prior bipartisan proposal, the 2022 Digital Commodities Consumer Protection Act led by Senators Stabenow and Boozman, outlined granting the CFTC authority over digital commodity spot markets and registering spot platforms (source: U.S. Senate bill S.4760, 117th Congress, 2022). Under that framework, federal market surveillance, customer asset safeguards, and platform registration requirements are central features that materially affect trading costs, liquidity distribution, and venue selection for U.S.-facing spot markets (source: U.S. Senate bill S.4760, 117th Congress, 2022). The source did not provide current bill text or implementation timelines, so the scope, token definitions, and transition details remain unspecified at this stage (source: the source post).

According to @EleanorTerrett, HouseAgGOP Chair GT Thompson spoke Thursday with Acting CFTC Chair Caroline D. Pham on how the commodities regulator is preparing for expanded crypto jurisdiction and rulemakings next year, anticipating passage of market structure legislation, source: @EleanorTerrett on X, Oct 31, 2025. The discussion follows Pham’s meeting last week with Senate Agriculture Chair John Boozman on similar matters, source: @EleanorTerrett on X, Oct 31, 2025. A key outstanding question is how much appropriations the agency will require for the additional oversight, source: @EleanorTerrett on X, Oct 31, 2025. Further details are expected Monday in the CryptoAmerica newsletter, source: @EleanorTerrett on X, Oct 31, 2025.

According to @EleanorTerrett, the Senate Agriculture Committee has scheduled a nomination hearing for CFTC Chair nominee Brian Quintenz on June 10 at 3:00 PM EST. This hearing is critical for traders as the CFTC plays a central role in regulating U.S. crypto derivatives markets. The appointment of Quintenz, known for his prior crypto-friendly stances, could influence future policy direction and market oversight, potentially impacting the volatility and compliance landscape for major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum (Source: @EleanorTerrett on Twitter).

According to @JohnBoozman, Chairman of the @SenateAg Committee, the cryptocurrency market has rebounded significantly, indicating a robust recovery and expansion. This suggests potential trading opportunities as market confidence strengthens, marking an important phase for investors to reassess their portfolios based on current regulatory and economic conditions.
