The 'Clarity Act', a pro-crypto bill, has flaws: Action is needed today

The likelihood that the U.S. Senate will vote on the CLARITY Act, a bill aiming to establish a regulatory framework for the cryptocurrency market, before the August summer recess appears low. Crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett reported that expectations are diminishing for Senate Majority Leader John Thune to file cloture to end debate and initiate a voting process this week. According to Senate procedures, Thune needed to file the motion to proceed on the bill today for a potential Thursday vote. However, sources close to the process indicate priority is expected to be given to legislation involving sanctions against Russia and Iran. Consequently, the crypto sector's focus has shifted to next week. Industry representatives argue that even if a final vote on the CLARITY Act does not occur before the holiday break, it is crucial for the Senate leadership to at least begin the cloture process prior to the August recess. Failing to initiate this process before the break could delay the bill's consideration until the fall legislative session, further postponing comprehensive cryptocurrency market regulation in the United States.

Morgan Stanley expands crypto lineup with Ether, Solana ETPs

Morgan Stanley Investment Management has expanded its cryptocurrency offerings by launching two new exchange-traded products (ETPs) tracking Ether (ETH) and Solana (SOL). The Morgan Stanley Ethereum Trust (MSSE) and Morgan Stanley Solana Trust (MSOL) aim to track the performance of their respective cryptocurrencies using designated settlement rate benchmarks from CoinDesk. Both funds feature a 0.14% expense ratio and plan to stake a portion of their holdings, with staking rewards distributed to investors. This launch follows the firm's recent introduction of spot crypto trading on its E*TRADE platform. In April, Morgan Stanley became the first major U.S. commercial bank to offer a spot Bitcoin ETF, the Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust (MSBT), which has grown to over $381 million in assets.

Bitcoin Expert Commentary Ahead of Fed Decision: 'Everything Will Be Different'

Bitwise's Chief Investment Officer, Matt Hougan, suggests that the Federal Reserve's upcoming interest rate decisions may have a less decisive impact on Bitcoin's price over the next five years compared to the past. He argues that future interest rate fluctuations are likely to be more limited in scale. Historically, Bitcoin experienced rate swings measured in full percentage points (e.g., 0% to 5%). In contrast, current market expectations, per CME data, point to a total increase of around 50 basis points over the next year. Hougan believes such smaller moves will have a more muted effect on Bitcoin. He further speculates that the Fed, under potential future leadership, might adopt a policy of smaller, gradual adjustments akin to the mid-1990s Greenspan era, rather than the large-scale shifts seen more recently. While interest rates will remain relevant, their market influence is expected to diminish. Other factors like institutional adoption, regulatory changes, capital flows, and Bitcoin-specific supply/demand dynamics are predicted to become more significant price drivers in the coming years.

Zcash's 10x Growth in a Year Fails to Save Mining Company Fortitude from Losses

Despite a 1000% annual increase in the price of Zcash (ZEC), mining company Fortitude Mining Holdings, owned by Barry Silbert's Digital Currency Group, is facing significant losses and debt issues. According to an SEC filing, Fortitude took on a $26 million loan in June 2026, with over $8.3 million borrowed before issuing an investment prospectus that claimed no outstanding debt. The company positions itself as a leader in Zcash mining, but only 28% of its $89 million 2025 mining revenue came from ZEC, with 65% derived from Bitcoin. Fortitude reported net losses of $14.3 million in 2024, $12.6 million in 2025, and $4.6 million in Q1 2026. It presented a positive adjusted EBITDA of $20 million by adding substantial depreciation costs, which in mining represent real equipment wear-and-tear expenses. Furthermore, its merger partner, AI software developer HeartSciences Inc., reported only $4,000 in revenue over a recent 12-month period and has seen its stock decline by 34% from June highs after an initial spike. Upon merger completion, the combined entity will trade under the ticker "TUDE," with DCG retaining a majority stake.

Galaxy Digital makes a major bet on AI, creating a 500-acre campus in Texas, while GLXY stock plunged 17%

Galaxy Digital is making a major AI and high-performance computing bet with a new 500-acre campus in McGregor, Texas. The development agreement, which brought the city roughly $7.5 million, expands Galaxy's data center footprint from its existing 1.6-gigawatt Helios campus. The McGregor site is planned to start operations in 2028, initially targeting 74 megawatts with potential to scale to hundreds of megawatts by 2030. The project will use a water-saving closed-loop cooling system. Galaxy will fund its own private electrical substation and pay full taxes from the start, estimated to add at least $130 million to the local tax base and create hundreds of construction and permanent jobs. Despite this long-term strategic move, Galaxy's stock (GLXY) has been volatile, falling 17% over the past month and 27% over the past year, reflecting its high correlation to crypto market sentiment. The company ties the investment to a structural, not cyclical, demand shift for AI computing power.
