 U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has stated he is working towards passing comprehensive cryptocurrency legislation by the end of 2024.&nbsp;

The Senator revealed this during a <a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://twitter.com/Crypto4Harris/status/1823871940211200192?t=YBf7zUU0YIB4E6BjmXVMnw&amp;s=19" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">virtual town hall hosted by Crypto4Harris,</a> a group<a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/democrats-launch-crypto-harris-campaign-counter-trumps-industry-appeal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> advocating pro-crypto</a> policies for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris. &nbsp;The event was attended by notable figures such as Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Debbie Stabenow, Colorado Governor Jared Polis, and investor Mark Cuban.&nbsp;
Senator Schumer warned about the risk of the U.S. losing its competitive edge in digital asset regulation and stressed the importance of fostering innovation while implementing user safeguards. He emphasized his commitment to advancing a bipartisan crypto bill through the Senate and securing its enactment within the year.
<blockquote>
 “My goal is to get something passed out of the Senate and into law by the end of the year, and I believe we can make that happen. We should strike a balance for crypto between promoting innovation and providing common-sense guardrails.”
</blockquote>

In May, the administration opposed the bill, citing concerns about its impact on the U.S. crypto regulatory framework.
