Details Emerge on New Bill to Regulate the Cryptocurrency Market in the US

The US Senate plans to consider a new bill to regulate cryptocurrency markets at the end of September.

A markup session will give committee members an opportunity to propose amendments to the bill. The committee can then decide to submit the legislation to the full Senate.
