JUST IN: Senate Banking Committee to Hold Hearing on Crypto Market Structure on July 9, 2025

 

The U.S. Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee has scheduled a hearing on the structure and regulation of cryptocurrency markets for July 9, 2025, according to a report published today.

 

The hearing is expected to explore key topics surrounding the transparency, investor protection, and systemic risks associated with the rapidly evolving crypto market. Lawmakers are also likely to debate proposed bills and regulations aimed at bringing clarity to market participants.

 

 

Why This Matters

✅ Crypto market structure has been under scrutiny amid rising institutional involvement and concerns over illicit use.

✅ The hearing could shape future regulatory approaches to stablecoins, DeFi, and spot Bitcoin ETFs.

✅ Both industry leaders and consumer protection advocates are expected to testify.

 

 

Context

This hearing follows the passage of multiple state-level crypto bills and the SEC’s approval of several spot crypto ETFs earlier this year. It also comes at a time when the Biden and Trump administrations have expressed diverging views on federal crypto oversight.

 

 

What’s Next?

The outcome of this hearing could provide much-needed regulatory clarity for the crypto industry in the U.S. and pave the way for more institutional adoption—or stricter compliance requirements.
