Senate Judiciary Committee leaders Chuck Grassley and Dick Durbin have raised concerns about a provision in a cryptocurrency market structure bill led by Senate Banking Chair Tim Scott, arguing it encroaches on their committee's jurisdiction. The dispute centers on exemptions for crypto software developers, which they say could hinder law enforcement efforts against money laundering. The bill's markup has been postponed amid this opposition and industry pushback.
