(Reuters) -Tensions on Capitol Hill over President Donald Trump's various cryptocurrency ventures escalated on Tuesday and threatened to derail the digital asset sector's hope of legislation by the end of this year as a top Democratic lawmaker stalled efforts to debate a bill.
Although Congress had appeared likely earlier this year to pass legislation governing digital assets for the first time, Democrats have grown increasingly frustrated as Republican Trump and his family members have promoted their personal crypto projects.
