The discussion draft builds on the CLARITY Act, which passed the House of Representatives last week with strong bipartisan support. The group also issued a Request for Information (RFI) for stakeholders to submit feedback on the draft and on a wide range of questions.\n\n\u201cThe GENIUS Act was a critical stride toward ensuring the United States is a leader in Digital Assets,\u201d said Senator Moreno. \u201cThis draft represents the next step in putting a bipartisan regulatory framework on President Trump\u2019s desk and I look forward to continuing our important work to encourage innovation, protect consumers, and strengthen national security and US dollar dominance.\u201d\n\n\u201cMy colleagues and I in the House and Senate share the same goal: to provide clear rules of the road for digital assets that protect investors, foster innovation, and keep the future of digital finance anchored in America. I\u2019m grateful for the hard work of our House counterparts to craft smart, bipartisan legislation, and I look forward to building on their work here in the Senate. Working with President Trump, we can deliver a comprehensive, bipartisan regulatory framework for digital assets,\u201d said Chairman Scott.\n\n\u201cThe time for regulatory uncertainty in the digital asset space has come to an end,\u201d said Senator Lummis. \u201cThis discussion draft represents a thoughtful, balanced approach that will provide the clarity our innovators need while providing robust consumer protections. We cannot allow regulatory confusion to continue driving American innovation overseas. Market structure legislation will establish clear distinctions between digital asset securities and commodities, modernize our regulatory framework, and position the United States as the global leader in digital asset innovation.\u201d\n\n\u201cFor too long, outdated laws and regulatory uncertainty around digital asset market structure have hindered American innovation and left consumers without adequate protections,\u201d said Senator Hagerty. \u201cThis discussion draft demonstrates a strong commitment to unlocking the full potential of the digital asset economy by delivering responsible legislation that reflects input from stakeholders, fosters innovation, establishes consistent guardrails, and ensures the United States remains a global leader in digital asset development.\u201d\n\nThe discussion draft takes important steps to:", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T18:48:13Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.moreno.senate.gov/press-releases/moreno-scott-lummis-hagerty-release-market-structure-discussion-draft"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 3.4737028181552887, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
