The CLARITY bill vote originally scheduled for the 15th has been postponed to the end of the month by the Senate Agriculture Committee. According to an official statement, the attitude is quite positive—this delay is mainly to garner broader bipartisan support and give all parties more time to work out the details.

But here’s the problem: many people are wondering why the vote on a cryptocurrency bill is in the hands of the Agriculture Committee. These two things are way too different. Usually, bills related to cryptocurrencies should be handled by financial committees or similar departments. Why does the Agriculture Committee have the authority to decide on postponing the vote? The logic here is indeed a bit confusing.
