Senate Republicans are aiming to pass landmark cryptocurrency legislation that would create new rules for dollar-pegged digital tokens this week, Majority Leader John Thune said Monday.
“We’re trying to figure out if there’s still a path forward on amendments, but the goal is to have it across the floor” this week, Thune said in a brief interview.
Thune filed cloture on the bill on Monday, teeing it up for another procedural vote as soon as Wednesday.
GOP leaders have been seeking to strike a deal on amendments that would allow them to proceed more quickly to a vote on final passage. But they have been unable to come to an agreement thus far, in large part due to a push by Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) to force a vote on controversial legislation that aims to crack down on credit card swipe fees.
