A Republican senator leading cryptocurrency regulation efforts said lawmakers will soon release an updated draft of an industry-backed bill addressing ethics concerns from members.

The revised measure aims to regulate cryptocurrency and digital assets while tackling objections raised by fellow lawmakers. Bloomberg Intelligence's Nathan Dean confirmed the development during an appearance on "Bloomberg Crypto" with host Isabelle Lee. The bill represents ongoing efforts to create a regulatory framework for the crypto sector. The updated draft signals movement toward consensus among lawmakers, though specific details on what ethics provisions will be included remain unclear. This marks another step in the broader push for federal cryptocurrency legislation. The crypto industry has backed regulatory measures as a way to establish clear rules and reduce uncertainty around digital asset trading and custody.
