The future of a trio of crypto regulation bills was in limbo late Wednesday, after the second day of opposition from conservative House Republicans brought the legislation to a standstill.
Fresh opposition emerged earlier in the day from a new bloc of Republicans who objected to last-minute changes proposed to appease the original conservative holdouts from the day before.
Negotiations are ongoing, but as of 5:30 p.m. more than half a dozen Republicans had voted with all Democrats against letting two of the regulation bills proceed in their current forms.
