United States lawmaker Rep McHenry says stablecoin legislation is a priority with negotiations ongoing for the last 23 months. The legislator also spoke on a wider vehicle for a bill in the Senate and recent developments in pro-crypto legislation. Digital asset regulations have taken center stage this month with the passage of industry laws and a turn by several U.S. lawmakers. Events like former President <a href="https://coingape.com/breaking-pro-crypto-donald-trump-opens-campaign-for-bitcoin-and-crypto-donations/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Donald Trump</a> accepting Bitcoin donations and projected bipartisan support have prompted wider market speculations.&nbsp;

Speaking on recent events in Congress, <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2024-05-30/mchenry-need-vehicle-to-advance-stablecoin-regulation-video" target="_blank">Rep McHenry</a> indicated that efforts to get stablecoin legislation passed in the Senate revolve around a vehicle to push the bill. In addition to a vehicle, the law needs a closing date and an opportunity to get it enacted.
Although most commentators are skeptical of the chances of the bill in the Senate, Rep McHenry opines that recent successes like the passage of the market structure bill and democrats’ voting support point to bipartisan support. Asked if he thinks the stablecoin bill can stand alone in the upper chamber, he answered negatively.&nbsp;
<blockquote>
 “Well, I actually think we need a bigger vehicle. What we’ve not seen in the Senate is for them to take a stand-alone financial services bill across the Senate since bill 2155 and what we need is the majority leader in the Senate to prioritize these policies; the market structure, the stablecoins&nbsp; and until that time, we are just going to create the atmosphere and the pressure in the best way we can.”&nbsp;

The Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (<a href="https://coingape.com/trending/what-is-the-fit21-crypto-bill-key-insight-more/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">FIT 21</a>) was passed in the House by lawmakers from both sides but its fate in the Senate remains dicey. Rep McHenry stated that FIT 21 creates a framework for the ownership of digital assets giving regulatory form to the ecosystem.&nbsp;
Described as a landmark bill involving consumer protection and capital flows, its passage with a two-thirds majority is a major statement, McHenry added.&nbsp;
