"Every Day Without Rules Is a Loss of Capital": Grayscale Appeals to Senate Over CLARITY Act

Grayscale Investments has sent an open letter to U.S. Senate leaders urging a vote on the CLARITY Act before Congress's August recess. The letter, from Grayscale's Chief Legal Officer Craig Salm, argues the U.S. crypto industry has long operated without a comprehensive regulatory framework, relying instead on unpredictable "regulation by enforcement." The CLARITY Act aims to establish clear market rules, define jurisdictional boundaries between the CFTC and SEC, and enhance U.S. competitiveness. Grayscale warns that each day of delay sees talent, innovation, and capital flow to jurisdictions like Singapore and Abu Dhabi that already have clear regulations. The bill has advanced through committee stages and now awaits a full Senate vote. While acknowledging a busy legislative calendar, Grayscale respectfully requests a pre-recess vote to provide long-awaited regulatory certainty. The push comes amid ongoing political debate around the bill, which has faced delays due to other priorities and criticism from some state officials and bankers concerned about fraud risks and stablecoin provisions.

Saylor and Strategy Inc. Officially Endorse the CLARITY Act Bill Concerning Cryptocurrencies in the US

On July 31, Strategy Inc. (MSTR), the world's largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, announced its endorsement of the bipartisan CLARITY Act (Digital Asset Market Clarity Act). The company framed the bill as promoting market growth, institutional investor participation, consumer protection, and individuals' rights to own and control digital assets. Executive Chairman Michael Saylor added his influential voice, stating that while Bitcoin will succeed with or without regulation, America needs clarity for digital assets. The support comes as the Senate considers market structure legislation that would define regulatory roles for the SEC and CFTC and establish registration procedures for exchanges and custodians. The endorsement coincides with Strategy's Q2 report, which showed a significant net loss largely due to Bitcoin's volatility, underscoring the direct relevance of digital asset regulation to its shareholders and capital-raising strategy. Saylor's broader views link Bitcoin's long-term value to regulatory certainty and stable protocol rules. Political pressure is mounting as supporters have initiated nearly 1 million messages urging lawmakers to advance digital asset bills. However, legislative prospects remain uncertain, with one research firm lowering its passage probability estimate to 30%, even as crypto owners indicate the issue could influence their votes in the upcoming midterm elections.

After a 30% Surge to $2000, Ethereum Signals a Price Decline

Cryptanalyst Ali Martinez noted that the TD Sequential indicator flashed a sell signal for Ethereum (ETH) after it reached the $1980 zone. The same indicator had previously foreshadowed ETH's rally from around $1500 to $2000. Following the signal, ETH's price fell below a key support level at $1897.27 to $1881.41, with further potential support seen near $1857.75. Despite a brief surge to $3400 in January 2026, Ethereum has been one of the worst performers among major digital assets this year, down 36.59%. Its long-term charts show further weakness, with the token losing nearly half its value over the past 12 months and being down 23.32% over five years. In contrast, Bitcoin (BTC) has declined 27% year-to-date and 46.20% over the past year but has gained 53% since mid-2021. An upcoming vote on the CLARITY Act on August 3rd is expected to significantly impact the crypto market. The prospect of regulatory clarity has already boosted many major cryptocurrencies over the past month. Some analysts predict that if passed, the bill could propel BTC above $600,000 within the next two years.

Bessent sharply criticizes opponents of the CLARITY Act and demands immediate action from the Senate

On July 30th, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent escalated the debate on cryptocurrency regulation, urging the Senate to vote immediately on the bipartisan CLARITY Act. He criticized Senate Democrats for prioritizing politics and delaying what he termed a landmark bill for American leadership. Bessent argued that Congress has an opportunity to establish a regulatory framework for digital assets rather than forcing the industry overseas. The Secretary defended the bill's consumer protections and anti-fraud measures, stating that it imposes compliance standards on digital asset intermediaries comparable to traditional finance. He also clarified provisions for non-custodial software developers. Bessent noted support from the Fraternal Order of Police after amendments addressed law enforcement concerns. Despite approval from Senate banking and agriculture committees, seven Democratic senators seek stricter provisions on ethics and consumer protection. Political pressure is mounting ahead of midterm elections, with crypto voters factoring policy into their choices. An updated 616-page bill merges committee proposals, establishing registration procedures, dividing oversight between the SEC and CFTC, and addressing stablecoins and bankruptcy. Bessent framed the vote as a decisive choice for U.S. competitiveness, concluding, "America will lead or it will not. It's that simple."

Consumer Technology Association Urges Senate to Vote for CLARITY Act Bill

The Consumer Technology Association (CTA), representing over 1,300 tech companies, is urging the U.S. Senate to pass the CLARITY Act to establish clear federal rules for digital assets. CTA argues regulatory certainty will spur investment, enhance consumer protection, and bolster U.S. leadership in blockchain innovation. The House already approved the bill with bipartisan support in 2025. In the Senate, negotiations are ongoing, with debates centered on ethics rules and market oversight. Senator Cynthia Lummis released an updated bill text, but critics like Senator Elizabeth Warren warn it leaves conflicts of interest unresolved. Political pressure is mounting ahead of a potential vote, with former officials expressing confidence in its eventual passage. A key final debate involves stablecoins, as banking executives warn against allowing payment stablecoins to function like interest-bearing accounts, fearing deposit losses could impact community lending. Advocacy groups are also pledging to score senators' votes on the bill, increasing election-year pressure.

US Senators sent revised ethics rules to White House for CLARITY Act: Report

Two U.S. senators, Democrat Ruben Gallego and Republican Thom Tillis, have sent revised ethics guidelines to the White House concerning the cryptocurrency market structure bill known as the CLARITY Act. The changes reportedly shift enforcement of a ban on federal officials issuing or sponsoring tokens from the U.S. Attorney General to state authorities, addressing concerns from lawmakers about the initial draft. Gallego emphasized the need to strengthen provisions on ethics, consumer protection, and market integrity. The revisions aim to gain support from Senate Democrats, whose votes are needed to reach the 60-vote threshold for passage, as Republicans hold a narrow majority.

US Senate Makes Important Amendments to "Conflict of Interest" Section of Cryptocurrency Bill

The U.S. Senate has taken a key step regarding the CLARITY Act, which could shape the future of the U.S. crypto market. On July 29, Senators Tom Tillis and Ruben Gallego finalized amendments to the bill's "conflict of interest" rules, one of its most contentious aspects. The bipartisan bill aims to tighten restrictions on high-level federal officials' ties to digital assets. The new text, crafted as an alternative to a White House-endorsed ethics code, is expected to impose stricter rules limiting officials' ability to issue or directly participate in digital asset projects. However, with Congress entering an August recess and the revised text not yet reviewed by much of the Senate, the bill's timeline is uncertain. Senate Majority Leader John Thune indicated a procedural vote could occur between July 29 and August 1 but expressed doubt the full bill could pass before the break. The House-approved CLARITY Act, passed in July 2025, has been under Senate negotiation for over a year. Key goals of the CLARITY Act include clarifying jurisdictional boundaries between the SEC and CFTC, setting rules for digital commodity spot markets, and addressing topics like stablecoin yields, DeFi, and illicit financing. The stablecoin yield provisions could significantly impact U.S.-based DeFi protocols, exchanges, and issuers, affecting their global competitiveness. The outcome is being closely watched by both the U.S. and global digital asset markets.

Cardano Price Forecast for August 2026: Will ADA Triangle Breakout Happen Before or After the CLARITY Act Deadline?

Cardano (ADA) is trading at $0.1642, testing the apex of a symmetrical triangle pattern on the daily chart, which signals an impending directional move. Technical analysis identifies key resistance at the 20-day EMA ($0.1650) and the triangle's upper trendline. A breakout above could target the 50-day EMA at $0.1732, with a cup-and-handle pattern potentially forming. Support lies at the SuperTrend indicator ($0.1536) and the June low of $0.1386. Historically, August has been a weak month for ADA, with a median return of -12.8%. A weekly forecast outlines a volatile month influenced by the imminent August 8th deadline for the U.S. CLARITY Act vote, potential SEC regulatory action, and renewed geopolitical tensions following Iran's missile strike. Key bullish catalysts include the potential passage of the CLARITY Act and a major upgrade integrating Cardano's developer documentation and tools into AI coding assistants like Claude, which could significantly boost developer adoption. On-chain data also shows whale accumulation, a potential Wyckoff accumulation signal. The price forecast presents two scenarios: a bullish breakout above $0.1650 targeting $0.17-$0.1732 if the CLARITY Act passes and AI integration fuels momentum, or a bearish break below $0.1536 toward $0.1386 if the bill fails, seasonal weakness persists, and risk appetite diminishes.

Coinbase Vice President: The Wars Over Cryptocurrency Regulation Are Over

Coinbase's new Vice President, Ryan VanGrak, declared that regulatory wars in the cryptocurrency sector are over. Since taking office on July 9, 2026, he has shifted the company's approach from litigation and sanctions to focusing on growth and innovation. The industry can now concentrate on development rather than fighting for its right to exist. He highlighted that the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act), which aims to establish a clear federal regulatory framework dividing oversight between the SEC and CFTC, has gained significant momentum. This framework is intended to provide proper supervision, investor protection, and maintain U.S. leadership in digital assets. VanGrak's appointment marks a strategic shift from a "wartime" to a "peacetime" advisor, replacing former Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal, who oversaw major litigation, including a dismissed 2023 SEC lawsuit. With his background at Citadel Securities and the SEC, VanGrak brings deep regulatory and institutional finance expertise as Coinbase expands beyond a simple exchange into a broader financial services provider, offering stocks, futures, prediction markets, and AI tools. For investors, bipartisan support for crypto legislation like the CLARITY Act represents a major shift from the enforcement-focused environment of 2023-2024. Lawmakers are now focused on *how* to regulate crypto, not *if* it should exist. However, risks remain, as the bill's passage is not yet guaranteed.

US prosecutors propose changes to CLARITY as voting window narrows: Report

US law enforcement organizations have proposed changes to the cryptocurrency market structure bill known as the CLARITY Act, as the Senate's window to vote narrows before a month-long recess. The groups requested alterations to provisions regarding developer liability within the bill. The White House crypto adviser indicated the proposals do not align with the administration's position. The legislation faces pushback from some Democrats over ethics rules related to former President Trump's crypto investments. Senate leaders have not scheduled a vote, and procedural hurdles make passage before the recess unlikely. A key aspect of the bill would shift primary regulatory authority over digital assets from the SEC to the CFTC.
