Key U.S. Senator Tells White House Crypto Market Structure Bill Will Be Done by Sept. 30

WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Senator Tim Scott, the chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, told a White House crypto adviser on Thursday that legislation establishing rules for the U.S. crypto markets will be finished by September 30 — later than President Donald Trump had in mind, but earlier than the year-end prediction from one of the leading lawmakers crafting the bill.
At a Thursday press event in his committee’s hearing room, Scott told Trump crypto adviser Bo Hines that the new deadline is possible for the legislation, and expressed agreement with Trump that the U.S. House of Representatives should also quickly sign off on the stablecoin bill the Senate passed last week.
Scott, whose committee recently shared some guidelines for how some senior Republicans want the bill to look, said he intends a timeline «seeing market structure completed before the end of September. I think that is a realistic expectation.»
To that, Senator Cynthia Lummis, who heads the digital assets subcommittee focused on that work, said, «Yes, sir. You’re the chairman, and we will do as you wish.»
Meanwhile, top House lawmakers have been hesitant to announce their own strategy for the two related bills on crypto market structure and stablecoins. The House had been in the lead on the former issue, with its Digital Asset Market Clarity Act having cleared the necessary committees on its way toward the House floor. But Representative French Hill, the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee that’s leading the charge, declined to reveal whether the House will move on the Senate’s Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act.
Hill signaled this week that he thinks some issues need to be worked out between the GENIUS Act and the House’s own stablecoin legislation, which would suggest a lengthier process that might jeopardize the short-term deadlines the Senate has in mind.
Senator Lummis had only the day before said at a Washington event that she predicted all the crypto legislation would be completed by the end of the year. That suggested a window going much later than President Trump’s wish of finishing by the August congressional break. But even Scott’s Sept. 30 timeline goes longer than Trump requested.
One potential hindrance to a quick process is immediately apparent: There’s no matching sense from the Senate Agriculture Committee, which needs to also weigh in on this major, complex legislation. So far, the Banking Committee has been leading the charge on market structure, but it can’t approve the bill on its own, and Lummis acknowledged after the Thursday event that it hasn’t been as urgent for that other committee.
For his part, the White House’s Hines said the president favors the House simply signing off on the stablecoin bill the Senate approved, without further work on it, and he praised the timeline commitment made by Scott and Lummis, adding, «I think it’s very clear you both understand what’s happening.”
In a response to a CoinDesk question on working with the House, Scott said the two chambers are «one team.»
«I’ve been very clear that I think the president’s mandate of moving GENIUS Act immediately to his desk is in the best interest of the American people,» Scott said.. «I believe that we can do both in a very time-sensitive matter, and that is why I’ve committed to a deadline.»
He said the House’s market structure bill, the Clarity Act, is a «strong template for us to move forward on.»

Crypto Trading Firm Keyrock Buys Luxembourg’s Turing Capital in Asset Management Push

Crypto trading firm Keyrock said it’s expanding into asset and wealth management by acquiring Turing Capital, a Luxembourg-registered alternative investment fund manager.
The deal, announced on Tuesday, marks the launch of Keyrock’s Asset and Wealth Management division, a new business unit dedicated to institutional clients and private investors.
Keyrock, founded in Brussels, Belgium and best known for its work in market making, options and OTC trading, said it will fold Turing Capital’s investment strategies and Luxembourg fund management structure into its wider platform. The division will be led by Turing Capital co-founder Jorge Schnura, who joins Keyrock’s executive committee as president of the unit.
The company said the expansion will allow it to provide services across the full lifecycle of digital assets, from liquidity provision to long-term investment strategies. «In the near future, all assets will live onchain,» Schnura said, noting that the merger positions the group to capture opportunities as traditional financial products migrate to blockchain rails.
Keyrock has also applied for regulatory approval under the EU’s crypto framework MiCA through a filing with Liechtenstein’s financial regulator. If approved, the firm plans to offer portfolio management and advisory services, aiming to compete directly with traditional asset managers as well as crypto-native players.
«Today’s launch sets the stage for our longer-term ambition: bringing asset management on-chain in a way that truly meets institutional standards,» Keyrock CSO Juan David Mendieta said in a statement.

Gemini Shares Slide 6%, Extending Post-IPO Slump to 24%

Gemini Space Station (GEMI), the crypto exchange founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, has seen its shares tumble by more than 20% since listing on the Nasdaq last Friday.
The stock is down around 6% on Tuesday, trading at $30.42, and has dropped nearly 24% over the past week. The sharp decline follows an initial surge after the company raised $425 million in its IPO, pricing shares at $28 and valuing the firm at $3.3 billion before trading began.
On its first day, GEMI spiked to $45.89 before closing at $32 — a 14% premium to its offer price. But since hitting that high, shares have plunged more than 34%, erasing most of the early enthusiasm from public market investors.
The broader crypto equity market has remained more stable. Coinbase (COIN), the largest U.S. crypto exchange, is flat over the past week. Robinhood (HOOD), which derives part of its revenue from crypto, is down 3%. Token issuer Circle (CRCL), on the other hand, is up 13% over the same period.
Part of the pressure on Gemini’s stock may stem from its financials. The company posted a $283 million net loss in the first half of 2025, following a $159 million loss in all of 2024. Despite raising fresh capital, the numbers suggest the business is still far from turning a profit.
Compass Point analyst Ed Engel noted that GEMI is currently trading at 26 times its annualized first-half revenue. That multiple — often used to gauge whether a stock is expensive — means investors are paying 26 dollars for every dollar the company is expected to generate in sales this year. For a loss-making company in a volatile sector, that’s a steep price, and could be fueling investor skepticism.
