Crypto Bill Faces a New Challenge, Delaying its Implementation

The crypto bill, known as the Clarity Act, faces new challenges that could delay its implementation until at least July 2026. Banks and crypto firms remain opposed, with banks warning of potential deposit flight and risks to financial stability, while crypto companies support the bill for regulatory clarity and the ability to offer yield-bearing products. Despite criticism from former President Trump toward banks, the American Bankers Association has offered suggestions for the bill's advancement. In the Senate, Democrats are seeking additional conditions, including a ban on officials profiting from crypto and stricter anti-money laundering rules. The ongoing conflict in Iran and the approaching 2026 mid-term elections further complicate progress, though some remain optimistic about a potential agreement.

The crypto bill now has a new challenge, not overcoming the same, which could delay its implementation for a longer time. Banks and crypto firms are still on opposite sides despite the intervention of the White House. A maximum stretch has been drawn for July 2026 because months after that could see more focus on the mid-term election.

Challenge for the Crypto Bill

The Clarity Act essentially aims to state regulations for crypto firms more effectively; however, banks have penned a line to obstruct its implementation. Banks have flagged a possibility of deposit flight. This could affect their lending capacity, which is then expected to impact the macro economic condition of the nation.

US President Donald Trump has criticized banks by saying that they were trying to undermine the bill. Trump, in a social media post, called it a powerful crypto agenda and said that they would not allow banks to undermine it.

The American Bankers Association has sought a precautionary move to prevent deterrence to economic growth and financial stability. It has, reportedly, offered constructive suggestions for the advancement of the bill.

Support from Crypto Giants

Needless to say, crypto giants are in support of the crypto bill for two reasons. They have operated in gray areas for a long time, and they are still on the lookout to reward/recruit users in their ecosystem. The Clarity Bill underlines regulations that could help promote adoption of cryptocurrencies.

Another reason is that it enables crypto firms to extend yield-bearing products to users. Companies have reportedly spent approximately $119 million to support pro-crypto candidates in 2024, and are hoping to get a favorable result by July 2026.

Challenges in the Senate

Democrats have sought additional conditions before giving a green light. The crypto bill has to be supported by a minimum of seven democrats. The group has asked for a ban on officials profiting from crypto ventures and to tighten anti-money laundering rules.

The ongoing conflict in Iran is also making it difficult to have a discussion on the bill, according to a statement by Brian Gardner, the Chief Washington Strategist at Stifel.

Many anticipate that no discussion or no progress by July 2026 could delay the bill for a long time, as discussions would then shift to the mid-term election, which is scheduled to happen in November 2026.

Nevertheless, Blockchain Association CEO Summer Mersinger has signalled that the path to a workable agreement is clearer than it was before.

Investor Ternama "Menyasar" Nvidia: Kejayaan AI Bergantung Terlalu Banyak Padanya

Dua investor ternama Wall Street, Mark Cuban dan Michael Burry, telah memperingatkan tentang ekosistem AI Nvidia yang masif. Seorang pengguna X mengungkapkan kekhawatiran bahwa Nvidia, dengan mendanai pembelian GPU untuk pusat data klien, membuat dirinya rentan jika terjadi "kemerosotan" demam AI. Cuban menyamakan situasi ini dengan gelembung dot-com, menyebut Nvidia sebagai "IPO" yang mendanai semua orang dalam boom teknologi saat ini. Ia khawatir satu terobosan dari pemasok chip lain atau satu kesalahan dapat meruntuhkan seluruh sistem. CEO Nvidia, Jensen Huang, sendiri mengakui peran krusial perusahaannya dalam menopang ekonomi AI dan global. Sementara itu, Michael Burry memperingatkan melalui kenaikan parabola harga Credit Default Swap (CDS) 5-tahun Nvidia, yang menunjukkan pasar mengantisipasi risiko gagal bayar yang lebih besar. Burry menilai Nvidia telah over-ekspansi dengan mendorong pengeluaran siklus ke skala epik melalui terlalu banyak transaksi. Keduanya juga mengkritik aspek lain demam AI. Cuban memperingatkan kelebihan kapasitas infrastruktur AI yang dibangun berlebihan, sementara Burry menyebut raksasa teknologi berinvestasi berlebihan pada chip dan pusat data yang akan cepat usang. Burry mengungkapkan telah menambah posisi short dan memiliki opsi put terhadap Nvidia, meragukan permintaan sebenarnya berasal dari pelanggan akhir dan mencurigai pendapatan masa depan banyak dicapai melalui pembiayaan siklus. Harga saham Nvidia turun lebih dari 3% pada hari Rabu.

Morgan Stanley Luncurkan Lagi Dua ETF Kripto, Biaya 0,14% Paling Murah di Pasar

Morgan Stanley (dikenal sebagai "大摩" dalam bahasa Tionghoa) meluncurkan dua ETF kripto baru: Morgan Stanley Ethereum Trust (MSSE) dan Morgan Stanley Solana Trust (MSOL), yang mulai diperdagangkan di NYSE Arca. Pada hari pertama, kedua produk ini mencatatkan total volume perdagangan sebesar $38 juta. MSSE menarik inflow bersih $5,15 juta, menyumbang lebih dari sepertiga dari total inflow dana Ethereum AS hari itu. Sementara itu, meskipun MSOL memiliki volume perdagangan yang kuat (sekitar $19 juta), ia tidak menarik inflow bersih baru karena keseluruhan kategori dana Solana mengalami outflow besar-besaran. Yang menjadi sorotan adalah struktur biaya kompetitif Morgan Stanley. Kedua ETF mengenakan biaya manajemen tahunan hanya 0,14% dan tidak mengambil bagian dari imbalan staking. Hanya 5% dari imbalan staking yang dibagikan kepada penyedia kustodian dan layanan staking, sehingga mayoritas pendapatan staking dikembalikan ke rekening perwalian. Ini menciptakan keunggulan biaya yang signifikan dibandingkan pesaing seperti Bitwise, Grayscale, dan BlackRock yang membebankan biaya manajemen lebih tinggi dan mengambil porsi imbalan staking yang lebih besar (mulai dari 6% hingga 25%). Strategi staking MSSE adalah 50%-80% dari aset Ethereum, sementara MSOL dapat melakukan staking hingga 100% dari aset Solana-nya. Pendapatan bersih dari staking didistribusikan secara tunai setiap bulan. Meskipun memiliki keunggulan biaya, Morgan Stanley masih perlu mengejar skala dan likuiditas produk-produk yang sudah ada lebih dulu, seperti Bitwise BSOL ($8,92 miliar AUM) dan BlackRock ETHB ($5,29 miliar AUM). Namun, keunggulan Morgan Stanley terletak pada saluran distribusi yang luas melalui jaringan lebih dari 16.000 penasihat keuangan yang mengelola aset klien triliunan dolar. Ini memungkinkan akses ke investor ritel tradisional, bukan hanya investor kripto asli.
