What to know:
- The stalled crypto market structure bill is making progress behind-the-scenes, according to Senator Tim Scott.
- "I believe that this week we will have the first proposal in my hands to take a look at," he said.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Senate's stalled crypto market structure bill is making progress behind-the-scenes, the chairman of the body's Banking Committee said Tuesday.
Senator Tim Scott, who heads the banking panel overseeing the market structure bill, said at the Digital Chamber's DC Blockchain Summit that lawmakers may see a new draft of at least stablecoin language as soon as this week.
Stablecoin yield has been the most publicly debated issue in the market structure bill, but lawmakers have remained engaged, Scott said.
"I believe that this week we will have the first proposal in my hands to take a look at," he said. "If that actually happened before the end of this week, and I think that it will, we'll at least know that the sketch looks like the person. If that's the case, I think we're gonna be in much better shape."
He credited Democratic Senator Angela Alsobrooks, Republican Senator Thom Tillis, and the White House's Patrick Witt for their efforts on yield.
Other outstanding issues have also been negotiated, particularly over the past month, he said, pointing to concerns lawmakers had about U.S. President Donald Trump and his family's crypto projects, the lack of bipartisan commissioners at the major regulatory agencies and know-your-customer regulations.
"I think we're very close to landing the plane on the ethics issue, on quorum," Scott said. "We know that that's a big issue for our friends on the other side of the aisle, so we're fixing that as well. I think we're moving forward with some [nominations], which is great news that we were able to get some out of the other side. I think the issue of DeFi is something that [Senator] Mark Warner's held on tightly, AML [anti-money laundering] being a very important part. So I think we're working on that issue."

Fan Token Firm Chiliz Acquires 2-Time ‘Dota 2’ Champions, OG Esports
The post Fan Token Firm Chiliz Acquires 2-Time ‘Dota 2’ Champions, OG Esports appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief The Chiliz Group has acquired a controlling stake in OG Esports, a prominent competitive gaming organization. OG Esports unveiled its own fan token on Chiliz’s Socios.com platform back in 2020. It recently hit an all-time high price. Chiliz has teased various future team-related benefits for OG token holders, along with a new Web3-related project. The Chiliz Group, which operates the Socios.com crypto fan token platform, announced Tuesday that it has acquired a 51% controlling stake in OG Esports, the competitive gaming organization founded in 2015 by Dota 2 legends Johan “nOtail” Sundstein and Sébastien “Ceb” Debs. OG made history as the first team to win consecutive titles at The International—the annual, high-profile Dota 2 world championship tournament—in 2018 and 2019, and has since expanded into multiple games including Counter-Strike, Honor of Kings, and Marvel Rivals. The team was also the first esports organization to join the Socios platform with the 2020 debut of its own fan token, which Chiliz said recently became the first esports team token to exceed a $100 million market capitalization. OG was recently priced at $16.88, up nearly 9% on the day following the announcement. The token’s price peaked at a new all-time high of $24.78 last week ahead of The International 2025, where OG did not compete this year. Following the acquisition, Xavier Oswald will assume the CEO role, while the co-founders will turn their attention to “a new strategic project consolidating the team’s competitive foundation [and] driving innovation at the intersection of esports and Web3,” per a press release. No further details were provided regarding that project. “Bringing OG into the Chiliz Group is a major step toward further strengthening fan experiences, one where the community doesn’t just watch from the sidelines but gets to shape the journey,” Chiliz CEO Alex Dreyfus…
