US Administration Signals Crypto Market Structure Legislation in Flux Over Institutional Framework Disagreement

Recent developments suggest the White House has become a critical factor in shaping proposed crypto market structure legislation. According to reports, the administration is conditioning its support for the bill on whether major exchanges align with a yield mechanism framework backed by traditional banking institutions.

The stakes center on how yield-generating products would be structured and regulated. Banks are pushing for frameworks that maintain their institutional control, while the crypto sector has been navigating what regulatory approval might look like under different administration priorities.

This move reflects broader tension between traditional finance and digital asset markets over who controls the mechanisms for value generation in crypto products. For the industry, the outcome could determine whether market structure reforms move forward or face further delays pending resolution of these institutional arrangements.

The political dimension adds another layer—whether legislative progress depends on cross-sector compromises that may reshape how crypto-based financial products operate in the regulated landscape.

Here we go again with this? The White House wants to pressure exchanges to listen to banks by using them as leverage. Isn't this just a disguised form of financial monopoly?

It's the same old trick again... The White House is using the yield mechanism as a bargaining chip, banks are holding tightly onto the discourse power, and we have to keep compromising endlessly.

The White House is playing this set... Basically, they just want banks to get involved in the yield mechanism, it's nothing more than a power struggle. --- Another round of bickering, can exchanges compromise and get through? I doubt it. --- If this framework is designed with vulnerabilities like a smart contract, then re-entrancy attacks will have to queue up... --- Traditional finance wants to maintain its dominance, but it's funny because the technical approach is fundamentally incompatible. --- Let's audit these policy drafts; they seem to have a bunch of logical flaws. --- If the yield sector is truly regulated, the entire ecosystem's gas fee model might need to be rewritten. --- Can political compromises produce good code? I'm pessimistic. --- Institutional control... just listen, in the end, it's still about technology speaking.

Here we go again? The White House is picking cherries, and banks want to trap our yield products—that's clearly about gaining control. The core of that banking framework is to put crypto into the traditional financial cage. Wake up, everyone. Political compromises are often just the beginning of harvesting retail investors... If this bill really passes, will small investors still have a way out? Feels like it will take a long time again. Anyway, I’ll keep farming and wait for the wind.

It's those bank folks causing trouble again... Do we really have to listen to them when it comes to the profit mechanism framework? That's hilarious.
