A recent meeting was held where crypto people and bank groups came together to talk about how this bill should work. Many crypto voices were in the room and they felt ready to move fast. The bank side was more slow and careful. Still many people said the talk was a good step in the right way.
The White House told everyone that they must reach real progress before the end of this month. The main topic was about stablecoins and if they should give rewards to users. Crypto groups say rewards help people use stablecoins in daily life. Bank groups worry that this could pull money away from normal bank accounts. This is why the talks were not easy.
The goal is to move this bill through the Senate Banking group so it can match the progress made in another Senate group last week. If the bill does not move soon it may not pass this year. This makes the next few weeks very important.
The meeting lasted more than two hours. People talked about how to fix the hardest parts of the bill. The White House asked everyone to come back with real ideas and not just talk. Bank groups said they need to check with their members before they agree to any change.
Crypto leaders said this meeting was a good sign. They believe both sides can find a fair way to move ahead. They also said that doing nothing is not an option. Many people today use digital money and they want clear rules to keep things safe and fair.
Bank groups said they want a law that helps families and small shops and keeps the money system safe. They want to make sure new rules do not hurt local banks or the way people get loans.
There are also other issues in the bill. Some lawmakers want strong rules to stop crime. Some want clear rules to stop people in power from using crypto for their own gain. These points also need to be solved before the bill can pass.
The White House believes that bringing all sides together is the best way to find a path forward. More talks will happen with a smaller group so they can focus on real words in the bill and not just big ideas.
At the same time the US government is dealing with a funding pause. This makes the work harder but leaders still want to keep moving on the crypto bill.
The next step is for the Senate Banking group to take up the bill. If they can agree on the main points then the full Senate can vote on it.
Many people in the crypto world are watching closely. They hope this law will bring trust and growth to digital money in the US. The coming days will show if both sides can find common ground and move forward together.
