Following meetings with Senate Democrats, major crypto CEOs including Coinbase’s Brian Armstrong and Chainlink’s Sergey Nazarov will engage with Senate Republicans to revive stalled U.S. digital asset legislation.
Top crypto industry leaders are expanding bipartisan outreach in Washington, meeting with both Senate Democrats and Republicans to advance the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, the primary bill aimed at establishing comprehensive U.S. crypto regulation. The initial meeting with Democrats focused on resolving disagreements over decentralized finance provisions, while a follow-up session with Republicans will seek to build support for restarting legislative progress stalled by the government shutdown. Participants include executives from Coinbase, Chainlink, Kraken, Uniswap, Galaxy Digital, Circle, and a16z Crypto. Lawmakers from both parties acknowledge that bipartisan cooperation is essential for the bill’s passage, though midterm elections in 2026 may delay major policy progress.
