CoinEx News: U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent urged lawmakers on April 22 to advance digital asset market structure legislation during a Senate Appropriations hearing on Treasury’s FY2027 budget, according to Bitcoin Magazine’s report on the live session. The official written testimony separately noted Treasury investment in digital-asset expertise and GENIUS Act implementation, while Bessent framed blockchain-based payments as an area where U.S. technology leadership should translate into payments leadership.

Clearer U.S. market-structure rules would reduce regulatory uncertainty across digital assets, keeping policy momentum as a key catalyst for institutional participation, stablecoin adoption, and dollar-linked payment rails.
