Wall Street Traders Shift Crypto Market Activity to Weekdays

For decades, Wall Street adhered to a strict Monday-Friday schedule, a rhythm initially challenged but not fully overturned by the 24/7 nature of cryptocurrencies. However, institutional adoption is now fundamentally reshaping crypto market dynamics, shifting most price discovery and trading activity to traditional U.S. market hours (9:30 AM - 4:00 PM ET). According to Kaiko Research, weekend trading volume has fallen from roughly 25% to about 16% of the total. This concentration creates a significant "liquidity vacuum" on weekends when institutional support withdraws. Analysis by BridgePort shows the market becomes more vulnerable: trading costs rise by an average of 11% due to wider spreads, market depth for $100k trades worsens by nearly 9%, and displayed liquidity drops over 5%. Consequently, smaller trades can trigger sharper price swings. The massive success of U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs has been a key driver of this structural shift. While providing steady weekday demand, their complete inactivity on weekends exacerbates the liquidity gap. Large capital movements, like the over $0.5 billion withdrawn from U.S. spot ETFs since October 2023, are easily absorbed on weekdays but can cause significant turbulence on thinner weekends. Ultimately, weekend trading now requires heightened caution due to a "thin" market, absent major market makers, and multiplied risks of sudden price jumps and slippage. Understanding these hidden liquidity mechanisms has become crucial for navigating the new financial reality.

Every Vote on the CLARITY Act Will Be Scored: 3 Million Crypto Supporters Want Senators to Vote 'Yes'

The advocacy group Stand With Crypto announced it will track and publicize U.S. senators' votes on the CLARITY Act, incorporating them into public legislator scorecards for its 3 million members to use ahead of the November elections. The group is urging a "yes" vote, stating the bill has mobilized cryptocurrency owners who seek regulatory clarity. Their pre-election survey indicates nearly 80% of crypto owners are highly likely to vote, with 70% saying a candidate's crypto stance influences their choice, and 59% identifying as swing voters—potentially making the issue decisive in tight races. The bill, which passed the Senate Banking Committee in May, now awaits a full Senate vote. However, its path is uncertain, with Galaxy Research lowering its 2026 passage odds to 30% due to timing, bipartisan support challenges, and unresolved provisions on ethics and consumer protection.

Tether’s XAUt gold token receives Shariah certification to expand Islamic finance access

Tether's gold-backed token XAUt has received Shariah certification from Amanah Advisors, potentially expanding its access to Islamic financial institutions and investors seeking Shariah-compliant gold exposure. The certification confirms XAUt's compliance with key Islamic finance principles, including full backing by physical gold, no interest or leverage, and transparent reserves. Each token represents one troy ounce of gold stored in Swiss vaults. This move provides Tether a clearer path to market XAUt in regions where Islamic finance is prominent, such as the Gulf Cooperation Council, South Asia, and parts of Africa. XAUt is one of the largest tokenized gold products, backed by over 707,000 troy ounces of physical gold worth more than $3.3 billion as of late March. Its on-chain value has grown significantly from about $700 million in July 2025 to roughly $2.5 billion. The development is part of a growing trend of Shariah-compliant crypto products aimed at addressing historical scholarly debates about digital assets' compliance with Islamic principles prohibiting excessive uncertainty and interest. Other examples include initiatives by Bahrain's AlAbraaj Restaurants Group and Palm Azgar Finance's PUSD stablecoin. Meanwhile, Dubai continues to solidify its position as a leading crypto hub in the Middle East.

Circle Announces the Acquisition of Nearly 1,000 Patents in the Blockchain and Fintech Spheres

Circle, the issuer of USDC, has announced the acquisition of a patent portfolio from IBM, comprising nearly 1,000 patents across 680 patent families. The portfolio covers areas including blockchain, banking, financial services, insurance, corporate infrastructure, supply chain verification, and secure cloud operations. This purchase makes Circle a leader in the U.S. in terms of Web3-related patents, significantly expanding its intellectual property as it works to build future financial systems on the internet. The deal also opens avenues for potential collaboration between Circle and IBM, though specific details and the financial terms remain undisclosed. The patents acquired stem from a period when IBM was actively filing in the blockchain space, particularly around 2018-2019. According to analysis, IBM's patent filing strategy later shifted toward focusing on the quality and value of individual patents. Circle's leadership emphasized that this intellectual property is crucial for advancing its mission and expanding blockchain infrastructure for global financial systems. Following the announcement, Circle's stock price saw a 2.2% increase.
