Analysts at investment bank TD Cowen have called for more realistic expectations for the passage of U.S. crypto legislation next year.
Jaret Seiberg, managing director of financial services at TD Cowen’s Washington Research Group, said there is a heightened risk of political deadlock between the cryptocurrency market structure bill, FIT21, and the Senate Agriculture Committee bill.
“We think this optimism is misplaced as we believe voting prospects for both bills are declining this year,” Seiberg said. “There is a growing risk that these bills will be politically blocked next year, and we are skeptical of the outcome of the election, regardless of the outcome. This is because both parties will want to secure additional donations before the benefits are finally delivered to the industry.”

Nick Timiraos, the Fed's mouthpiece: Friday happens to be the last day before Fed officials enter the pre-meeting silent period. Fed Chairman Williams and Fed Governor Waller are scheduled to speak after the release of the employment report, which is the last chance to set expectations for the upcoming meeting. With economic growth and inflation slowing, it is more reasonable for the Fed to adjust interest rates from the current level of around 5.3% to around 4.5%. If there is no sign that the weak employment in July will continue into August, some Fed officials may resist a sharp 50 basis point rate cut. But officials who were open to a rate cut at the July meeting may support a 50 basis point rate cut in September, and they will receive broader support if the unemployment rate jumps again and job growth slows further.
