CLARITY Act Urgent Update: Senate Committee Could Vote as Soon as TomorrowThe push for US crypto regulation just got more urgent. As reported by Eleanor Terrett, the Senate Banking Committee is preparing to notice a markup for the CLARITY Act as soon as tomorrow, with draft legislative text already circulated to select industry members ahead of a potential Thursday vote, according to multiple sources who have seen the document.

The language is still being finalized, with additional edits expected to reflect priorities from Democratic offices. One source described the overall mood after reviewing the bill as positive, though some bracketed sections are raising concerns that provisions previously thought to be settled may still be in flux.

HTX  Creation Challenge — Post and Win 1,500U 💥

U.S. stock index futures moved slightly higher Thursday night as escalating tensions between the United States and Iran in the Strait of Hormuz pressured investor sentiment and pulled Wall Street away from recent record highs. Despite geopolitical uncertainty, strong confidence in artificial intelligence continued to support technology stocks and limited broader market losses.S&P 500 Futures gained 0.2% to 7,377.25 points, while Nasdaq 100 Futures climbed 0.3% to 28,767.0 points. Dow Jones Futures also rose 0.1% to 49,768.0 points during late trading activity. Investors remained focused on the impact of the Middle East conflict on global markets and the upcoming U.S. nonfarm payrolls report, which could provide fresh signals on Federal Reserve interest rate policy. The U.S. military confirmed it intercepted Iranian attacks targeting three American warships traveling through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran accused Washington of violating an existing ceasefire after U.S. strikes reportedly hit several locations near the strategic waterway. Tehran has continued efforts to strengthen control over the strait, a critical route for global oil shipments.President Donald Trump stated that the ceasefire agreement remains active, describing the latest military exchange as "a love tap." However, he later warned Iran of additional strikes if negotiations failed to progress quickly. Renewed military activity weakened hopes for a near-term U.S.-Iran peace agreement, especially after both nations previously indicated signs of diplomatic progress earlier in the week

Boston Fed President Susan Collins backed holding rates steady and urged the Fed to strip out language that implicitly points to cuts as the next move, reinforcing a higher‑for‑longer stance that has repeatedly whipsawed crypto when markets price in dovish pivots too early. Summary Boston Fed President Susan Collins said she supports holding interest rates steady and wants the Fed’s statement language changed so it does not implicitly point to a rate cut as the next move. Collins argued that policy may need to stay unchanged for a “longer period” and said more officials want to signal that the next step could be “either a rate cut or a rate hike” as inflation proves persistent. The stance reinforces a higher‑for‑longer rates narrative that has repeatedly whipsawed crypto, with past Fed surprises hitting Bitcoin and Ethereum when markets leaned too far into dovish expectations. Collins told reporters she backed the latest decision to keep rates on hold but “hopes to adjust the wording of the statement to avoid implying a rate cut,” according to a summary of her remarks carried by Jinshi and echoed in recent coverage of her speeches. She added that “an increasing number of officials” want the Federal Open Market Committee to signal that the next policy move “could be either a rate cut or a rate hike,” rather than embedding a dovish bias into forward guidance. That message is consistent with Collins’s recent comments. In late February, she said it was “quite likely” the central bank would keep rates unchanged “for some time,” arguing that after cumulative easing, policy was already “mildly restrictive, perhaps quite close to neutral,” and that a “patient and deliberate approach is appropriate at this stage.” In March, she told another audience she saw “no urgency” to change rates and would need “clear evidence” that inflation is moving sustainably toward 2% before suppo

CoinGecko Report Shows Tokenized RWAs Surged to $19.3B In Q1 2026
The market for real world assets (RWAs) is really taking off now that big investors are getting involved. CoinGecko latest report shows that tokenized real world assets are worth $19.3 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2026. It is one of the most impressive growth stages for blockchain financial products, marking a significant surge.

INSIGHT: RWAs have more than tripled in market cap since 2025 — hitting $19.3B by the end of Q1 2026.

While only 6.4% compared to the size of stablecoins, RWAs growth outpaced stablecoins over the last year, climbing up from 2.7% at the beginning of 2025. pic.twitter.com/pNUDkMPq90

— CoinGecko (@coingecko) May 7, 2026

The report has observed that the number of tokenized offerings of the RWAs has grown by 256.7% within a span of about a year and a half. The sector’s value was $5.42 billion at the start of 2025.

As of March 31, 2026, that number had nearly quadrupled with an increased demand from the crypto native community and traditional financial institutions participating in the tokenization of Treasurys, commodities, stocks, and ETFs.

2025 is a pivotal year for tokenization, according to industry analysts. Early blockchain use cases with asset creation slowly gained traction and scale. This provided institutions with greater clarity for working and more trust in joining the industry.

The regulatory environment around key markets also helped to alleviate uncertainty, enabling companies to bolster their approach to tokenization with the support of institutions.

Tokenized Treasuries Continue Dominating the Sector

Tokenized Treasuries continued to be the biggest asset category during the reporting period. The asset class’s value rose by almost $9B or 225.5% during this period. More than half of the expansion of the entire sector of the business was represented by new treasury-backed products during the period.

Stablecoins evolve from crypto trading tools into global payment infrastructure

Stablecoins are emerging as one of the most closely watched developments in global finance, as banks, payment firms, and technology companies explore blockchain-based alternatives to traditional payment rails.

Once mainly used by traders moving funds between cryptocurrency exchanges, stablecoins are now expanding into cross-border remittances, merchant settlements, treasury management, and machine-to-machine payments.

The shift is happening as businesses seek cheaper alternatives to conventional banking infrastructure, where international transfers can take days to settle and involve multiple intermediaries.

According to a16z crypto’s April 24 report, stablecoin transfer volume reached $4.5 trillion in the first quarter of 2026, with usage increasingly tied to payments rather than speculative trading.

Why payment firms are leaning in

Industry executives say the appeal lies in continuous settlement and lower operational costs.

Financial infrastructure provider Finzly notes that stablecoins can streamline cross-border payments by settling continuously on blockchain networks instead of depending on banking hours and correspondent chains.

Retail Banker International reports that stablecoins are slowly entering real-world commerce as merchants test blockchain-based settlement.

Large payment and technology firms are positioning themselves around the trend. Reuters reported in January that Visa continues exploring stablecoin settlement infrastructure. “You still have to come back and connect to the existing merchant acceptance ecosystem,” Visa’s head of crypto Cuy Sheffield told Reuters.

Google’s Alphabet stock Class A (NSADAQ: GOOGL) opened Thursday’s trading bell at $398 and is gearing up to breach the $400 range. GOOGL is now at its yearly high after delivering robust revenues in April’s earnings call. A handful of institutional clients who accumulated the equity before the earnings call are all enjoying profits.Now that Google stock is at a yearly high, the risk of a sell-off remains high due to profit-booking. If retail and institutional funds begin offloading GOOGL to book a profit, the chances of the asset heading south get higher. The risk of a downward trend is increasing as analysts say GOOGL might have already peaked in value.Also Read: When Will Apple Stock Hit $300 After New Price Target from BofAIf a Market Crashes, How Low Will Google Stock Fall?Source: GoogleLeading market research and analytics firm Zachs has predicted that Google stock could plunge to a low of $220 if the market crashes or enters bear territory. The prediction is a major warning of a steep decline that can erase all gains made in a year. The Middle East crisis escalating further or a recession hitting the market could be among the reasons for a crash.If the market crash prediction turns out to be accurate, Google stock could lose 45% in value. Therefore, an investment of $1,000 could turn into $550 if the doomsday projection turns out to be precise. The downside is harsher than the upside and could be a reality if the markets enter a recession. However, the calls of a recession have cooled down after the Iran-US ceasefire.On the upper side, the analytical firm has projected Google stock to reach a high of $515, if the market prospects are normal. That’s an uptick and return on investment of approximately 30% from its current price of $398. Therefore, an investment of $1,000 could turn into $1,300 if the projection turns out to be accurate.
