The Senate Banking Committee plans to continue its work on the Responsible Financial Innovation Act amid the current government shutdown. Despite the House being in recess, the Senate remains in session, allowing the committee to focus on advancing crypto market structure policy. The shutdown has delayed the Agriculture Committee's draft bill and paused new spot crypto ETF approvals, as the SEC has halted reviews. However, ETF issuers remain optimistic about swift approvals once the government resumes full operations.
