Senate Votes Loom on Cryptocurrency Regulation Amid Trump Investment Controversy

The US Senate is set to vote on legislation that would create a new regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies.

The $2.3 trillion cryptocurrency market has become a major political force, and Democrats are pushing back on President Donald Trump's investments in the sector.

Some Democrats support the idea of a regulatory framework but want stronger ethics safeguards to prevent the president and his family from enriching themselves while in office.
