According to @EleanorTerrett, citing Politico, Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) will not offer his credit card swipe fee amendment during the Senate Agriculture Committee’s crypto markup, and Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) is not expected to raise it either after lobbying from the White House and crypto proponents, a move she says is expected to smooth the bill’s path through committee. According to @EleanorTerrett, amendments still under consideration include ethics rules for government officials and their families, a requirement that the CFTC have at least four sitting commissioners following a consultation with the minority party, a ban on bailouts of crypto issuers, anti-fraud provisions for crypto ATMs, and restrictions on foreign adversary participation in U.S. crypto markets. According to @EleanorTerrett, weather conditions could delay the markup.
