<p>The journey toward <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/is-jpex-facing-the-same-catastrophe-as-ftx-exchange-heres-what-happening/">cryptocurrency legislation</a> in the United States has hit turbulent waters, bogged down by delays and uncertainties. A troubling blend of international tensions and domestic congressional disputes has cast a shadow over everyone’s hopes of well-defined crypto-related laws. Legal experts and industry observers are increasingly alarmed by the shifting timeline for these important regulations.</p>

<p>Representing the Blockchain Association, Ron Hammond has shed light on the inopportune timing for pushing new crypto legislation through Congress. Hammond points to a myriad of obstacles that have hindered progress. International tensions and internal disagreements among House Republicans have created a climate of unpredictability, leading him to predict that Congress will grapple with uncertainty for the foreseeable future.</p>

<p><a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/ripples-legal-rollercoaster-deaton-discusses-latest-judicial-twist/">John Deaton</a>, a legal advocate for XRP, echoes Hammond’s concerns regarding the prevailing congressional atmosphere. Deaton expresses skepticism about the likelihood of substantial crypto legislation materializing before the latter half of 2025. He hints that crypto advocates may need to continue their battles with regulatory bodies such as the <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/ripple-vs-sec-john-deaton-predicts-sec-will-avoid-trial-in-upcoming-case-heres-why/">Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)</a>, Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), and the Federal Reserve.</p> 
<p>Deaton further expresses doubts about Senator Elizabeth Warren and SEC Chairman Gary Gensler, suggesting that they may use concerns about terrorism and international conflicts as tools to advance an anti-crypto agenda.</p> 
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"> 
 <p>“We will be forced to continue to fight the SEC, CFTC, FED, etc. In fact, @ewarren and @GaryGensler will NOT allow the truth to get in their way and will use terrorism and the war to attack crypto further.”</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="geopolitical-conflicts-understanding-the-impact">Geopolitical Conflicts: Understanding the Impact</h2> 
<p>Ron Hammond points to the Israel conflict as a significant factor impacting crypto regulations. Much like the freezing of wallets associated with invading forces during the Russia-Ukraine crisis, the <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/israeli-authorities-freeze-hamas-cryptocurrency-accounts-in-collaboration-with-binance/">Israel conflict</a> has introduced new challenges. Furthermore, initiatives like “Crypto Aid Israel” are gaining traction, raising funds for humanitarian aid.</p> 
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"> 
 <p><em>“In the meantime, we are largely in a standstill in DC from a crypto legislative perspective. The FTX trial, which many expected to dominate Capitol Hill chatter, has largely been relegated to an afterthought given the various other pressing matters.”</em></p>
