In this episode of Crypto Town Hall, the panel dives into the latest U.S. Senate draft amendments to the crypto market structure bill, exploring bipartisan compromises on stablecoin "rewards" (not yield), ongoing banking lobby influence, and the fluid markup timeline.

The conversation also touches on Fed independence tensions, Powell’s recent statements, CPI data quirks amid grocery affordability concerns, potential DeFi regulatory impacts, and why Bitcoin may be coiling for a breakout despite short-term chop.
