Senate Committee Holds Key Hearing on US Crypto Regulation Bill

The U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture held a rescheduled markup session for the Digital Commodity Intermediaries Act (DCIA) on January 29, 2026.

The legislation aims to clarify regulatory jurisdictions. It specifically addresses the division of authority between the SEC and the CFTC.

Crypto-focused companies, including Coinbase, closely watch the legislation’s progress. Passage of the DCIA could reduce regulatory uncertainty. The bill could also encourage greater institutional investment in the sector. The legislation shapes the future operational framework for crypto platforms within the United States.
