PANews reported on November 6th that, according to CoinDesk , the US government shutdown has reached a record high of 36 days , potentially further delaying Congress's progress on the crypto market structure bill. The election results have boosted the Democrats' negotiating leverage, and industry insiders predict that the bill may still make slight progress this year , but is unlikely to be passed by 2025 , possibly being postponed to 2026. White House digital asset advisor Patrick Witt stated that President Trump still demands a final version be submitted by 2025 , and the large-scale shutdown of relevant departments has limited the drafting of the bill text; Blockchain Association CEO Summer Mersinger also stated that the possibility of the bill being moved to 2026 has increased.
