Senate Democrats to Host Crypto Executives on October 22 for Talks on Stalled Market Bill

Senate Democrats will hold a roundtable with major crypto firms, including Coinbase and Chainlink, on October 22, 2025, to discuss digital asset regulation. The meeting follows the collapse of bipartisan DeFi rule negotiations. A leaked Democratic draft proposal faced criticism from Republicans and industry leaders for being overly restrictive. Progress on broader legislation remains paused amid ongoing regulatory uncertainty.
