Crypto Market Structure Bill Pushed Back: What's the Timeline Now?

According to TD Cowen, the long-anticipated crypto market structure bill isn't coming as soon as expected. The proposal could face delays, with potential passage pushed to 2027, followed by a phased implementation rolling out through 2029.

This extended timeline reflects the complexity of crafting comprehensive regulations for digital assets. Market participants have been waiting for clearer regulatory frameworks to reshape how crypto trading and market operations function at a structural level.

The shift in timing underscores how regulatory development in the crypto space remains subject to legislative priorities and political cycles. Stakeholders are keeping close watch on how these timelines might shift further as discussions evolve.

Waiting until 2027 again? That's really outrageous, I'm almost out of patience.

According to studies, the schedule延期到2027年的 actually has been within expectations for a long time. Rather than saying it was "delayed," it is more accurate to see it as a rational recognition by regulators of the technical complexity. It is worth noting that from a technical architecture perspective, establishing a unified framework across the three dimensions of on-chain transactions, off-chain settlement, and cross-chain interoperability indeed requires a sufficient validation cycle. Data shows that the advancement cycle for most complex financial regulatory frameworks is around 3-5 years, and this pace is not unreasonable. The issue lies in the interference of political cycles—each change of government can redefine priorities. The focus should be on the actual implementation details rather than the schedule itself.

Ah, 2027? If only I had come two years earlier... --- Pushed back to 2029 again, I should have gone all in way earlier --- If this bill had come out earlier, I wouldn't be so passive now, damn --- Wait, wait, wait, in the end I still have to wait, this day never ends --- 2027 is just passing? Then I wasted these two years, that's really crazy --- Delays like this, I've gotten used to it, anyway it's not the first time being deceived

Again and again postponed to 2027? I'm stunned. This pace can even be compared to ETH upgrades.

Not until 2027? Alright, then I'll just keep holding until the end of time.
