The recent developments in the US Crypto Market Structure Act could become a significant turning point for the crypto industry this year.

It is reported that on the eve of the Senate's crucial vote on the Crypto Market Structure Act, major Wall Street institutions and key players in the crypto industry held a closed-door consultation on January 8. The primary purpose of this undisclosed meeting was clear — to clarify the main disagreements among parties before the Senate vote next week.

Sources familiar with the matter revealed that the meeting focused on regulatory framework issues in areas such as DeFi. This indicates that both legislators and industry players recognize that finding a balance between innovation and risk control is vital for the future of the entire crypto market. From the fact that Wall Street actively participated in the consultation, it appears that traditional finance is beginning to take the crypto asset sector seriously.

Once this bill passes, it is likely to bring clearer policy expectations to the crypto market. Clarification of regulations often helps eliminate market uncertainty, which is beneficial for the long-term development of the industry.

Closed-door negotiations? Ha, I've seen this trick too many times. Can regulatory "clarification" really be a good thing? Wake up, the rebound should be sold.

Closed-door negotiations? Sounds like they're deciding our fate, and we have no idea what they're talking about. Wall Street has finally lowered its head and become more compliant, how urgent must that be haha. Balancing innovation and risk control... sounds nice, but in the end, it's just another set of shackles. We can only see clearly after the bill passes; there's no point in saying anything now, anyway retail investors don't get a say. Clear policy expectations? I just want to know if I can still hold my coins with peace of mind.

Wall Street is all sitting together, which means this thing is really coming. But behind closed doors... do you believe this is for "resolving differences"? I think everyone just wants to reap benefits from this wave of regulation. How to regulate DeFi, that's the key. In my opinion, clear expectations are good, but if they become so clear that all small coins are shut down, it will be the end. Can this vote really pass? It feels like every time they say it's going to happen...

Closed-door negotiations? After all this, you still want to hide it from us. Wall Street is finally serious, but the coins in hand are still just paper. Clarifying regulations sounds good, but what history has taught me is... every time there's a policy boost, it becomes a signal for retail investors to take the fall. Is this really the bottom consensus? Or is it just another drama of mainland ups and downs? Let's wait and see what the on-chain data says.

Closed-door negotiations? Or are they going to cut us again, haha I find it hard to believe Wall Street will genuinely speak up for us... Clarifying regulations sounds good, but I'm just worried we'll still end up stuck in the end Waiting to see how they invest next week, feels all just empty talk

Closed-door meeting? Wall Street finally wants to come in and get a share. I think this time is different; traditional finance taking it seriously means everything is up for discussion. Clear regulations ≠ good news; it still depends on how they draft the terms. It's finally going to be implemented, but don't celebrate too early; voting is the key. Wait, will the DeFi regulatory framework be directly cut back...

Closed-door meeting? I’m familiar with this trick, it’s just vested interests dividing the cake there. Wall Street suddenly paying attention indicates that this pie has indeed grown bigger, haha. DeFi regulation is really reaching its limit, it’s only a matter of time. Good or bad? Anyway, retail investors are always the last to know. Clear expectations? Trust you and you’ll lose; regulation always has tricks. If this pass truly, can BTC soar to the sky? What do you all think? Traditional finance is starting to pay attention, which means we’ve bet on the right horse. Feels like Wall Street is putting itself in handcuffs, haha. There will probably be new tricks before next week’s vote, after so many years in crypto, I still haven’t seen through it. But honestly, if the disagreements can really be sorted out, it might actually be a positive? A bit of anticipation.
