Voting on the CLARITY Act bill will be postponed due to U.S. Senate recess

The passage of the CLARITY Act, a crucial bill for the crypto industry, faces further delays and diminishing odds due to the upcoming U.S. Senate recess on August 7th. Senate Majority Leader John Thune indicated there is insufficient time for debates, amendments, and necessary procedures before the break. Prediction markets on Polymarket have lowered the likelihood of the bill passing in 2026 to 35%, a sharp drop from a February peak of 82%. Analysts from Galaxy Digital have similarly reduced their estimate to 30%. Despite the time crunch, lawmakers continue to discuss amendments. Recent changes include new ethics rules for government officials dealing with digital assets, a response to concerns over crypto projects linked to former President Donald Trump and his family. If passed, starting January 20, 2029, the act would prohibit government officials, including the President, from issuing or sponsoring digital assets, though ownership would remain permitted. Amid these legislative delays and amendments, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has suggested the possibility of moving the company's business outside the United States.

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.

Uncertainty persists regarding cryptocurrency regulation, and there is a possibility of delay in passing the Clarity Act! Here are the details

The U.S. Senate's vote on the CLARITY Act, which aims to establish a legal framework for the crypto market, faces a potential delay. Priority on the Senate agenda is being given to a Russia sanctions bill and confirmations of federal officials, making a vote on the crypto bill after next week increasingly likely. Senate tradition of handling only one contentious bill at a time further complicates early consideration of the CLARITY Act. Key political disagreements persist, notably over provisions to restrict cryptocurrency trading by senior government officials and elected representatives, including potentially former President Donald Trump. A bipartisan consensus has not been reached. This uncertainty raises doubts about whether a vote can occur before the Senate's August recess. If disputes intensify, the bill's passage could be jeopardized not only for this year but potentially until 2026. Even if the Senate approves the bill, it would still require a revote in the House of Representatives and the President's signature to become law, potentially prolonging the establishment of a comprehensive regulatory framework long awaited by the crypto industry. The Clarity Act is considered crucial for clarifying which agencies will oversee digital assets, defining their legal status, and setting operational principles. Industry advocates argue its passage would boost institutional investor confidence and strengthen the U.S. position in the global digital asset market.

The Most Difficult Thing to Predict on Polymarket Is... When the POLY Airdrop Will Happen

During the recent World Cup, Polymarket saw record-breaking activity, with its "World Cup winner" market reaching $4.32 billion in volume, making it the platform's highest-volume single prediction event ever. Over the six-week tournament, football markets amassed $85 billion in nominal trading volume, cementing sports as a major growth driver. Capitalizing on this surge in traffic, Polymarket quietly increased fees for its sports markets in early July. The taker fee multiplier was raised from 0.03 to 0.05, effectively raising maximum costs per trade by nearly 70% and moving sports out of its lowest fee tier. This follows a broader trend of the platform gradually expanding fee structures across various market categories since the start of the year to boost revenue. However, community focus is increasingly shifting from trading volumes to the long-awaited POLY token airdrop. Despite a senior executive confirming in late 2025 that a token and airdrop were planned for after U.S. market re-entry, no timeline has been provided. Recent actions, like an affiliated account deleting a potentially suggestive tweet and official help pages stating "no airdrop or token generation event has been announced," have fueled speculation and frustration. The community is divided on the reasons for the delay. Some believe Polymarket is waiting for a more favorable regulatory window in the U.S., while others speculate that the platform's strong organic growth and rising fee revenue have reduced the urgency to issue a token, potentially following a path similar to OpenSea. The prolonged uncertainty has led users to question not the *if*, but the *when*, of the POLY airdrop, turning it into one of the platform's most unpredictable events.

The Hardest Thing to Predict on Polymarket Is... When Will the POLY Airdrop Happen?

The article discusses Polymarket's record-breaking performance during the 2026 World Cup, where the tournament's champion prediction market alone saw $43.2 billion in volume, surpassing the 2024 US election. The six-week event generated $85 billion in total football-related trading. It then details how Polymarket quietly raised trading fees for its sports markets just before the World Cup ended, increasing the taker fee from a coefficient of 0.03 to 0.05. This move expanded the platform's fee structure, which had been gradually rolling out across different market categories since early 2026, to boost revenue from established user activity. A significant portion focuses on the growing community controversy and uncertainty surrounding the long-awaited POLY token airdrop. Despite a prior executive confirmation that a token and airdrop were planned for after US market re-entry, no timeline has been announced. Recent actions, like deleting a suggestive tweet and adding website warnings about unannounced airdrops, have fueled speculation. Theories for the delay include waiting for a better regulatory window or that Polymarket, now successful with real revenue, no longer feels urgent pressure to issue a token, potentially becoming "the next OpenSea." The community's discussion has shifted from how the airdrop will work to if and when it will ever happen.

Sudden Halt, Gemini 3.5 Pro Stalls, Google Plunges into a Trap of Disappointment

Gemini 3.5 Pro's launch has been delayed for months, according to a Bloomberg report. Hype had built after leaks suggested the AI model, codenamed 'Cappuccino', would feature a 2M-token context window and a 'Deep Think' mode, potentially surpassing rivals like GPT-4.5. However, internal sources reveal the model failed to meet strict standards, particularly in AI coding performance, despite a last-minute data update. The report details internal challenges at Google: bureaucratic hurdles slow decision-making as multiple departments compete for resources and alignment. Furthermore, a cultural reluctance among some engineers to use AI-generated code, coupled with internal GPU shortages, hampered the development of this critical capability. This inefficiency and perceived lag behind competitors like OpenAI and Anthropic is reportedly causing talent drain. Analysts suggest this isn't just a Google issue but part of a broader "next-gen giant model disappointment trap." As models scale, they face data bottlenecks, diminishing returns from compute scaling, and potential architectural limits. While OpenAI currently leads, the industry may be entering a platform period where explosive progress slows. Google's delay underscores the immense difficulty of advancing frontier AI models.

‘Let’s finish the job’ – Senator Cynthia Lummis pushes CLARITY Act despite delay

The CLARITY Act, a key cryptocurrency market structure bill, missed its July 4 signing deadline. With Congress shifting focus to campaigning, the new target is August 7 before the summer recess. Senator Cynthia Lummis urged action, calling the act "this generation’s contribution" to American innovation. Proponents argue the bill would eliminate regulatory ambiguity, spur new products, and attract capital. Market sentiment remains cautiously optimistic, though prediction markets show approval odds dropping to 48%. Support comes from entities like the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives, while the Major County Sheriffs of America shifted to a neutral stance. However, political hurdles remain, notably from former President Donald Trump's stance on prioritizing other legislation. The bill's fate is uncertain as lawmakers work to reconcile differences between committee versions ahead of the tight legislative window.

Bitcoin Standard Treasury Delays Cantor SPAC Vote To July 10

Bitcoin Standard Treasury's shareholder vote to finalize its planned SPAC merger with Cantor Equity Partners has been postponed to July 10, 2026, according to an SEC filing. The delay affects the transaction intended to take the Bitcoin-backed treasury company public. A postponement is distinct from a cancelled or failed deal, indicating only that the decision date has moved, which can occur for various procedural, regulatory, or market-related reasons in SPAC processes. The delay is notable as Bitcoin-linked equities and treasury vehicles face close market scrutiny, with investors evaluating their models and premiums. The core fact remains that the merger is still proposed, with the rescheduled vote serving as the next key signal for the deal's progression.

Report Review: Kyber Delay Tear NVIDIA Supply Chain, Only a Few Winners in the PCB Chain

Research Report Analysis: Kyber's Delay Reshapes NVIDIA Supply Chain, Winners Limited in PCB Sector Jefferies maintained a Buy rating on NVIDIA with a $300 price target (42% upside), but delivered a surprising take on the AI server PCB supply chain. The key finding is that the high-density orthogonal backplane PCB, codenamed "Kyber," is likely delayed to 2028 or even canceled. This prompts a downward revision in the global AI PCB market forecast for 2027/2028 by 5% and 11%, respectively, with CCL (copper-clad laminate) forecasts cut by 8% and 16%. While Kyber's postponement extends the lifecycle of the current Oberon architecture and defers some PCB volume, it does not halt the trend towards higher specifications. Migration to advanced materials like M9/M10-grade CCL and PTFE processes continues. The delay reshuffles the winners' list: upstream material suppliers (glass fabric, CCL) benefit from persistent tight supply and strong pricing power. Copper cable vendors gain a reprieve as the threat from PCB-based interconnects recedes. PCB manufacturers, however, face intensified competition, with mid-tier players most vulnerable to being squeezed out. The report stresses that the market adjustment reflects a timing shift, not a demand destruction. Kyber-related orders are deferred, not canceled. NVIDIA's core GPU competitiveness and the AI server growth trajectory remain intact. The analyst's investment thesis prioritizes "high-value-add" and "supply-constrained" segments: upstream materials > NVIDIA > copper cables > downstream PCB manufacturing. The delay accelerates a consolidation within the PCB industry, favoring companies positioned in high-end specifications and critical upstream materials.

Promised Year of Crypto IPOs? Only One Went Public in Six Months, Down 70%

The much-anticipated wave of crypto IPOs in 2026 has failed to materialize, with market conditions worsening dramatically. While SpaceX prepares for the largest IPO in history, raising $75 billion at a $1.75 trillion valuation, the crypto sector faces a frozen pipeline. The sole crypto IPO success this year, BitGo, serves as a cautionary tale. After launching on the NYSE in January at $18, its stock has plummeted approximately 70%. Other major contenders have stalled or delayed. Kraken, which secretly filed in late 2025, has put its plans on ice, seeing its valuation drop 33% to $13.3 billion. Consensys has postponed its filing until autumn at the earliest, and Bitpanda is poised to miss its self-imposed H1 deadline for a Frankfurt listing. This widespread retreat is driven by a severe liquidity crunch. Bitcoin has fallen below $60,000, with capital being diverted to AI stocks and the massive SpaceX offering. The poor performance of earlier crypto listings like Gemini and the stagnant price of Coinbase further dampen investor appetite. A key underlying pressure is the impending US midterm elections in November, which could alter the currently favorable regulatory landscape. Companies had hoped to go public during this window of policy certainty, but challenging market dynamics have overridden those plans. The transparency that comes with being a public company is now seen as a potential liability rather than a benefit in a down market. The industry's fate now hinges on a few critical watchpoints: whether Kraken restarts its process in H2, if Consensys files in the fall, and if SpaceX's debut can revitalize market liquidity. Otherwise, the promised "crypto IPO year" will likely be pushed beyond the election.
