Polymarket User Adds Over $800,000 to Market on Clarity Act

A user on Polymarket has placed a large bet exceeding $800,000 predicting that the U.S. CLARITY Act will not pass by the end of 2026. The trader, VelvetNova27, made the wager when the "No" outcome probability was at 77%. The position has already gained over $82,000 in value with more than four months remaining in the year. The CLARITY Act, intended to establish a regulatory framework for digital assets, faces significant criticism from both the crypto industry and the banking sector. Despite ongoing amendments, the bill fails to satisfy key stakeholders. Critics include Coinbase's CEO, who has expressed frustration with legislative delays and hinted at moving business out of the U.S., and Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson, who is disappointed by Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse's support for the initiative. Market sentiment on Polymarket has shifted dramatically. While the probability of the act passing in 2026 exceeded 80% in February, it has consistently declined since May, dropping to 14% by late August. This downturn is attributed to the U.S. legislative recess and uncertainty surrounding the midterm elections.

Coinbase-Backed Group Endorses 32 House Members While CLARITY Act Stalls in Senate

The advocacy group Stand With Crypto, funded by Coinbase, has endorsed 32 incumbent U.S. House members for re-election in the November midterms. All endorsed candidates voted last year to pass the CLARITY Act in the House, a bill the crypto industry considers its top legislative priority for providing regulatory clarity. The Act is now stalled in the Senate despite earlier committee approval. Stand With Crypto is tying its endorsements to that single "yes" vote, aiming to turn the elections into a referendum on the bill and ensure its supporters return to Congress for its potential reconsideration. The group, which claims a grassroots network of 2.7 million supporters, launched a voter guide earlier this year to rate lawmakers on their crypto positions. Its goal is to make the next Congress the "most pro-crypto session in American history." Another bipartisan political action committee, the Blockchain Leadership Fund, has also announced its own slate of endorsements for the 2026 election cycle.

Ripple CEO Says Crypto Rules Work Nears Completion After White House Meeting

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghaus indicated that the creation of comprehensive cryptocurrency regulations in the U.S. is nearing completion following a White House meeting with President Trump, financial leaders, and regulators. He highlighted that crypto is now a major political and economic issue, citing that 67 million Americans own crypto assets. Discussions focused on digital asset legislation, the CLARITY Act, tokenization, and U.S. competitiveness. Subsequent talks at a CFTC advisory committee meeting saw consensus from major traditional financial institutions that outdated rules hinder innovation and consumer protection. Garlinghaus linked these efforts to Ripple's 2019 congressional letter, stating clear rules have never been closer. However, the CLARITY Act faces opposition in the Senate over concerns about fraud prevention and market manipulation. Meanwhile, regulators like the CFTC and SEC are preparing their own regulatory frameworks, with the SEC proposing new rules for crypto investment contracts, offering a potential path forward even if congressional action stalls.

Coinbase CEO Speculates Bitcoin Could Reach $400,000 Under Certain Condition

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong predicts that Bitcoin could reach between $300,000 and $400,000 within the next few years. He stated this would require a growth of approximately 317% to 456% from current levels, significantly increasing Bitcoin's market capitalization. Armstrong attributes Bitcoin's recent prolonged decline to the stalled progress of the U.S. digital asset regulation bill, CLARITY. He hopes for a bipartisan compromise when the Senate votes on September 15, securing the needed 60 votes for passage. Armstrong believes most banks now see CLARITY not as a threat but as a framework allowing fair competition with crypto companies, addressing earlier concerns that it might lead to mass withdrawals from savings accounts into stablecoins. His comments follow a recent White House meeting where former President Donald Trump urged Congress to pass CLARITY, attended by key crypto industry figures and regulators. Earlier this year, Armstrong also speculated Bitcoin could hit $1 million in four years due to increased institutional investment.

Armstrong: Crypto Situation to Clear Up Regardless as Senate Vote Nears

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong attempted to calm market nerves ahead of a key Senate vote on cryptocurrency legislation next month. He stated that regulatory clarity is coming regardless, outlining two scenarios: the "CLARITY Act" (officially the Digital Asset Market Transparency Act) passing with over 60 Senate votes on September 15, or new rules from the CFTC and SEC by September 16. The bill, which passed the House in 2025 with bipartisan support, faces a Senate cloture vote on September 15. Republicans need at least seven Democratic votes to reach the 60-vote threshold. Failure could delay the bill, as Democrats seek stricter provisions on ethics and illicit finance, while Republicans prioritize regulatory certainty for crypto firms. Simultaneously, regulators are preparing their own frameworks. The CFTC is developing a "digital asset market" registration category, and the SEC and CFTC have a joint "Project Crypto" initiative with a five-category interpretive framework for digital assets. Armstrong linked his optimism about clarity to a bold Bitcoin price prediction of $300,000-$400,000 by 2030, citing institutional adoption, Bitcoin's fixed supply, and potential U.S. regulatory progress. With 15 weeks until the Senate vote, the industry anticipates imminent change, whether from Congress or federal agencies.

CFTC Chairman: Agency Will Continue Work on Crypto Regulation If CLARITY Act Is Not Passed

The chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), Michael Selig, stated that the agency will proceed with developing rules for the crypto industry if the CLARITY Act is not passed by Congress. In remarks to the CFTC's Technology Advisory Committee, Selig explained that the CFTC is preparing to allow both registered and unregistered entities to offer leveraged or margined crypto asset trading and to examine developer protections. He emphasized the agency's readiness to act should a bipartisan compromise on the bill fail in the Senate, which requires 60 votes for passage. The statements follow a White House meeting where President Trump urged Congress to pass a "fair version" of CLARITY to help the U.S. stay ahead of China. Meanwhile, some Democrats seek stronger ethics provisions in the bill, partly due to concerns over the Trump family's crypto investments. Separately, the CFTC, currently operating with Selig as its only Senate-confirmed commissioner, also asserted its exclusive jurisdiction over prediction markets and plans to sue state regulators challenging this stance.

After Significant Growth, Coinbase CEO Unveils Bitcoin Price Forecast! "$300,000 to $400,000"

Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, has projected that Bitcoin could reach between $300,000 and $400,000 by the year 2030, describing such a price target as "quite likely." His comments were made during an interview on Fox Business Network, following a notable surge in Bitcoin's price above $72,000. Armstrong also discussed the recent meeting hosted by former President Donald Trump with leaders from the crypto and traditional finance sectors. A key topic was the long-debated CLARITY Act, legislation aimed at creating a clear U.S. regulatory framework to classify digital assets as securities, commodities, or payment-focused stablecoins. Armstrong noted a "strong sense of urgency" within the administration to finalize and pass the bill, which is now expected to face a vote in September after delays. While the bill has faced opposition from some traditional banks concerned about deposit outflows to crypto platforms offering high yields on stablecoins, Armstrong stated that many banks actually support the CLARITY Act, seeing it as an opportunity to expand their business through new technology.

US Senate reminds of unresolved conflict of interest of Trump in crypto

A US senator has highlighted an unresolved conflict of interest concerning former President Donald Trump's cryptocurrency dealings as a remaining obstacle to passing the key market bill, the CLARITY Act. Senator Ruben Gallego, a key negotiator, stated that multiple ethics provision proposals were sent to Trump without effective response. At a White House event on August 19th, Trump urged Congress to pass the bill, after which Bitcoin's price rose to $70,000. Concerns center on Trump's expanding crypto interests, including the TRUMP memecoin and his family's World Liberty Financial project, with reports showing nearly $1.5 billion in crypto earnings. Although Trump agreed in July to a ban on federal officials issuing or funding crypto assets, Democrats criticized its enforcement mechanism. A key procedural Senate vote is scheduled for September 15th, requiring 60 votes. Gallego stated that passing "smart ethics legislation" and resolving issues like stablecoin yield regulation and anti-illegal activity measures are necessary for the bill's advancement.

Crypto PAC Money Won Four Primaries, Then Stalled in Miami

The crypto-focused super PAC Fairshake, along with its affiliated committees Protect Progress (supporting Democrats) and Defend American Jobs (supporting Republicans), claimed victories in four out of five recent U.S. congressional primaries. They spent approximately $3.6 million across races in Alaska, Florida, and Wyoming. Their supported Republican candidates Sydney Gruters (FL-16) and Harriet Hageman (WY Senate) won, as did Democrat Lois Frankel (FL-23). However, in a notable setback in Florida's 24th district, Protect Progress spent over $2 million on negative ads against Democrat Oliver Gilbert but failed, as Gilbert won the primary with 34.4% of the vote. Gilbert had previously accused "tech billionaire friends of Donald Trump" of backing the crypto groups' efforts. Fairshake, funded largely by Coinbase, Ripple, and Andreessen Horowitz, has amassed a substantial war chest, reporting $193 million on hand as of January. It has already spent over $130 million in the 2024 cycle. The group's stated goal is to elect a pro-crypto Congress ahead of key legislative efforts, including the Senate's upcoming consideration of the bipartisan CLARITY Act, which aims to establish a comprehensive regulatory framework for digital assets.

Interpretation of SEC's New Crypto Regulatory Rules: Fundraising Below $5 Million Exempt from Registration, Is Altcoin Season Making a Comeback?

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has proposed a new regulatory framework titled "Regulation Crypto Assets." This proposal aims to establish tailored exemptions for crypto asset fundraising and a pathway for tokens to transition out of being classified as securities. The core provisions include two exemptions from standard securities registration: 1. **Startup Exemption**: Allows early-stage projects to raise up to $5 million over four years with simplified, narrative-based disclosures, avoiding full registration. 2. **Fundraising Exemption**: Permits raising up to $75 million within any 12-month period. It requires audited financial statements and imposes ongoing reporting obligations, similar to the Regulation A+ framework. A key component is the **Investment Contract Safe Harbor**. This rule allows a token initially sold as an investment contract (a security) to lose that designation once the issuer has completed or permanently ceased the "essential managerial efforts" promised to investors. This theoretically clears regulatory hurdles for tokens where development is finished or abandoned. The proposal defines a narrow scope, applying only to crypto assets that are not securities themselves and are part of an investment contract involving no other assets. This SEC initiative is seen as a response to the stalled progress of the comprehensive *CLARITY Act* in Congress. It represents a shift from relying solely on the historical Howey test, which the SEC admits is ill-suited for dynamic crypto assets. The proposal is currently in a 60-day public comment period, with a final rule likely months away, leaving the U.S. regulatory landscape for crypto in a transitional state.
