Since last week, anticipation has been building around the US crypto market structure bill, with the Banking Committee set to meet on 15th January. This could potentially result in the first comprehensive federal regulatory framework for digital assets in US history.
Bitcoin is currently trading near $91,000, showing signs of recovery after falling below $90,000 last week. Ethereum mostly above the $3,100 level, fluctuating between approximately $3,000 and $3,200 amid mixed market sentiment and institutional activity.
On January 15, U.S. lawmakers are set to hold make-or-break hearings and committee votes on a sweeping crypto market structure bill.
Two Senate committees — Banking and Agriculture — will debate and mark up their versions of the legislation, a critical step before it can move to the full Senate.
The timing is crucial because it’s one of the last clear legislative windows early in 2026; if the bill clears committee, it can be merged into a single framework and pushed toward a floor vote. If it stalls here, the effort risks being delayed again by political deadlines and elections.
The bill aims to finally bring regulatory clarity to U.S. crypto markets. For years, the industry has operated under overlapping and often conflicting oversight from the SEC and CFTC, largely driven by enforcement rather than clear rules.
This legislation seeks to define which digital assets are securities versus commodities, set rules for exchanges and intermediaries, and create a predictable framework that protects investors while allowing innovation.
For crypto users, traders, and builders, the outcome could influence everything from exchange operations and token listings to institutional adoption and long-term market confidence.
Binance Coin’s price will be in focus this week as developers roll out the Fermi upgrade and hard fork on January 14. This upgrade follows last year’s Maxwell, Pascal, and Lorentz updates, which significantly improved block times.
As a result, transactions will be included in blocks more quickly, confirmation times will drop, and applications will feel more responsive. Historically, cryptos often perform well both ahead of and after major network upgrades. As always, DYOR.

Apart from the outcome of the committee meeting on the crypto market structure bill, here are some key events that could influence crypto price action this week.
Lower CPI boosts risk appetite and usually lifts crypto, while higher CPI tightens liquidity and often pushes prices down.
A continued decline in PPI may strengthen expectations that inflation is cooling. That could support risk assets, including crypto.
Strong jobs data can pressure crypto as rates stay higher, while weaker data often supports crypto by boosting risk appetite.
The Federal Reserve will update its balance sheet on Friday. A smaller balance sheet signals tighter conditions, while an expanding balance sheet can fuel a crypto upswing.
