Supporting Evidence/Contradictions:

• Agreement:** Multiple sources (Verification Source #1, Verification Source #3, Verification Source #4, Verification Source #5) agree that the passage of the bill is a positive development for the cryptocurrency industry, characterizing it as a "victory" or "win."
• Lack of Coverage:** The specific details of the bill and the industry's efforts to avoid limitations are not covered in detail by the provided sources.
