US Commerce Secretary Lutnick agrees to testify before Congress

The significance here lies less in the agreement itself than in what it could open up: Commerce oversees both trade policy and export controls, two levers that increasingly shape crypto and digital-asset firms' access to markets and technology. A congressional appearance gives lawmakers a public venue to press on those areas, though the absence of a date, committee or stated subject leaves the scope entirely undefined. Whether the testimony ultimately touches digital-asset or export-control questions, rather than staying confined to broader trade matters, is the open question worth tracking.
