What CoinDesk reports
One of the top crypto market structure negotiators in Washington says she's run out of gas on new revisions for the bill she's worked on for more than five years.

CoinDesk and Decrypt have also published a related report, providing another attributed account to compare without treating repetition as proof.
What remains unknown
- No matched primary document independently supporting the central claim is linked to this page.
