Efforts to bring legal clarity to <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/investors-track-key-cryptocurrency-developments/" data-wpel-link="internal">cryptocurrencies</a> continue globally. Despite some steps taken, significant progress remains elusive. In the United States, work on two legislative proposals has concluded, but the election agenda and various issues have stalled the process. What will happen next? 
<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="current-status-of-u-s-cryptocurrency-legislation">Current Status of U.S. Cryptocurrency Legislation</h2> 
Ron Hammond from the Blockchain Association shared an assessment of the legislative status of cryptocurrencies in Congress. As stated previously, everything is currently in a waiting mode. Congress has focused on election campaigns throughout October, leaving little room for other discussions. 
With a five-week session on the horizon before elections, many issues will occupy Congress once it reconvenes. Topics such as government funding, defense proposals, farm bills, disaster relief, and stablecoins will dominate the agenda. 
Ron Hammond noted the following: 
<blockquote> 
 “In various discussions with congressional leaders this month, we learned that there is bipartisan momentum for stablecoin legislation this year, but no final agreement has been reached. Regardless of who wins the elections, optimism remains for 2025 to witness progress. The election outcomes will set the stage for general policy during the lame-duck session, determining what is feasible. If stablecoins do not pass this year, it will likely be due to politics or time constraints, similar to the situation two years ago.” 
</blockquote> 
In summary, it appears unlikely that any cryptocurrency-related legislation will gain clarity in the U.S. this year. 
<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="regulatory-pressure-on-cryptocurrencies">Regulatory Pressure on Cryptocurrencies</h2> 
The laws required for regulatory clarity are vital for alleviating the intense legal pressure on <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/the-transformative-potential-of-bitcoin-and-artificial-intelligence-cathie-woods-optimistic-view/" data-wpel-link="internal">cryptocurrency</a> companies. These companies find themselves embroiled in legal battles without knowing what rules they must follow. Legal expenses can be costly for many startups, which poses a risk to cryptocurrency innovation in the U.S.

Is there no good news? There is; nearly all pro-cryptocurrency candidates won in the primaries. This indicates that, while more evident among Republicans, Congress will have many pro-cryptocurrency figures. If a scenario occurs where Trump wins the elections, we could see a different market environment and talk of regulatory clarity.
