    Clarity Act Vote Set for Thursday: Here's Where the Crypto Bill Stands

    After months of dramatic back-and-forth, crypto’s long-desired market structure bill is set for a do-or-die vote on the Senate Banking Committee this Thursday. Several battles regarding key language in the legislation remain unresolved—but crypto policy leaders are increasingly confident they may be able to get the bill passed at the buzzer, before Congress grinds to a halt this summer in anticipation of November’s midterm elections. The bill, dubbed the Clarity Act, would formally legalize mos...

    Banking Industry Says Clarity Act Stablecoin Proposal Would Enable 'Evasion'

    A coalition of the nation’s top banking trade groups, representing Wall Street giants and community banks alike, issued a statement Friday expressing concern that new language in a major crypto bill would benefit digital assets companies and disrupt the traditional banking industry. For months, the banking industry and the crypto lobby have battled over key language in the Clarity Act, a bill that would formally legalize most crypto activity in the United States. Banks want to add language to t...

    Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) urged Meta this week to fully disclose its stablecoin-related ambitions, arguing that the tech giant must reveal the plans before lawmakers vote on a major crypto-related bill currently pending in the Senate. “It is essential that Congress fully understand the implications of Meta’s stablecoin integration plans as it considers legislation to structure the cryptocurrency market,” Warren said in a letter sent to Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg this week.

    Bittrex Wants Its $24 Million Settlement Back, Now That the SEC Is Pro-Crypto

    Crypto exchange Bittrex, which ceased operations after settling an SEC lawsuit under President Joe Biden’s administration, is now requesting the agreement be tossed in light of the regulator’s about-face on crypto. In a new filing this week, attorneys representing the exchange asked a federal judge to vacate his prior judgment and compel the SEC to refund the $24 million Bittrex paid the regulator as a penalty back in 2023. Under the Biden administration, the SEC sued Bittrex for offering the s...

    Crypto Whale Sues Coinbase Alleging Exchange Refuses to Return Stolen Funds

    An anonymous crypto whale based in Puerto Rico sued Coinbase this week, accusing the crypto exchange of failing to release funds stolen from the user in a 2024 hack. Though key details in the lawsuit are redacted, information in the filing regarding the hack closely resembles a massive exploit in August 2024 that saw a single crypto user lose over $55 million worth of an Ethereum stablecoin, DAI, after falling for a phishing scam. The lawsuit, filed Monday in a federal court in San Francisco, c...

The license, to operate as a Derivatives Clearing Organization, or DCO, will allow Gemini to settle prediction market wagers and other derivatives trades in-house, as opposed to relying on an authorized third-party.
