Sen. Marshall Drops Card Fees Push From Crypto Bill Markup

Senator Roger Marshall has withdrawn his proposed amendment on credit card swipe fees from the crypto market structure bill to avoid jeopardizing its progress. The Senate Agriculture Committee is prioritizing a focused debate on digital asset regulation, and Marshall’s amendment—aimed at increasing competition in card network fees—was seen as a potential distraction that could provoke opposition from financial institutions and disrupt bipartisan support. The markup, delayed from late January to early February due to weather and scheduling conflicts, is part of a broader effort to advance the bill without contentious additions. Both Democratic and Republican negotiators are working to keep the legislation clean to ensure it moves forward amid a crowded legislative agenda. The bill includes key provisions on crypto commodities and securities definitions and software developer protections. Marshall’s tactical retreat is viewed as a strategic move to maintain momentum and improve the bill’s chances of committee approval and eventual Senate debate.

Australia’s Financial Regulator Warns of Rising Risks in Crypto and Digital Assets

Australia's financial regulator, ASIC, has issued a warning about increasing risks in the crypto and digital asset sector. In its "Key Issues Outlook 2026" report, ASIC highlights that many crypto companies are growing faster than regulations, creating oversight gaps and exposing everyday investors to potential harm. The regulator notes a significant number of firms operate without licenses, some intentionally avoiding regulation, leading to "perceived regulatory uncertainty" where consumers mistakenly believe these products are protected. ASIC emphasizes that many crypto assets don't clearly fit existing financial laws, and consumers may not fully understand the risks. While Australia has updated financial laws to include rules for companies handling digital assets, ASIC states these are initial steps and more policies are needed. The regulator cautions that using unlicensed platforms carries higher risks with limited legal protections, reaffirming that consumer safety remains a priority despite supporting innovation.

Japan To List First Spot Crypto ETF As Early As 2028 – Report

Japan is reportedly set to approve and list its first cryptocurrency-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as early as 2028, marking a significant shift in the country’s regulatory stance. The Financial Services Agency (FSA) plans to amend the Investment Trust Act to include cryptocurrencies as eligible assets for ETFs and introduce stronger investor safeguards. Major firms like Nomura Holdings and SBI Holdings are already preparing to launch crypto ETFs, with SBI filing for products linked to Bitcoin, XRP, and a Digital Gold Crypto ETF. This move follows the U.S. approval of spot crypto ETFs in 2024 and aligns with Japan’s broader efforts to embrace digital assets. Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama has expressed support for such products, highlighting their potential as inflation hedges and part of Japan’s "Digital Year" initiatives in 2026. Regulatory reforms also include reclassifying crypto as financial products and exploring a flat 20% tax on crypto income. The asset management industry estimates Japanese crypto ETFs could eventually reach ¥1 trillion ($6.4 billion).

Crypto Debanking Deepens in the UK as 40% of Exchange Transactions Face Bank Blocks

A recent study by the UK Cryptoasset Business Council reveals that nearly 40% of transactions to crypto exchanges in the UK are being blocked or delayed by traditional banks. The report, titled "Locked Out: Debanking the UK’s Digital Asset Economy," highlights growing banking restrictions faced by the digital asset sector.

Four Pillars Reshaping the Crypto Future: Survival Rules in the Post-Speculation Era

The article "Four Pillars Reshaping Crypto's Future: Survival Rules in the Post-Speculation Era" argues that the current market shift towards value is not a bearish end but a necessary transition towards next-generation financial infrastructure. It identifies four key trends: 1. **Blockchain-Native Finance**: Moving beyond Real-World Assets (RWA) as mere tools, blockchain is重构ing credit efficiency through trustless systems, reducing costs and friction. 2. **Token Value Reset**: Tokens are shifting from speculative, narrative-driven assets to ones requiring real revenue, cash flow, and sustainable value capture. 3. **Privacy as Core Infrastructure**: Privacy is evolving from a niche feature to a essential requirement for institutional adoption and on-chain finance, enabling confidential transactions and becoming a key competitive moat. 4. **AI and Blockchain Integration**: The fusion is maturing beyond superficial concepts; AI acts as a smart layer for protocols (e.g., dynamic DeFi risk management), while blockchain provides a trustless economic base for AI agent interactions and machine-native finance. The conclusion emphasizes that 2026 marks a pivot towards practicality—where real-world utility, profitability, and regulatory clarity define success, ending the era of pure speculation. The industry is transitioning from a "gold rush" to sustainable "city building."

Decoding $155B stablecoin drop – 2 reasons why traders are abandoning risk assets

Stablecoin market capitalization dropped by $7 billion to $155 billion in late January, signaling a significant contraction in on-chain liquidity rather than a short-term fluctuation. This decline reduced available capital for crypto trading, causing Bitcoin and altcoins to struggle with weak buying interest. Two main reasons drove the trend: weakening demand for stablecoins led investors to convert holdings into fiat, withdrawing liquidity entirely, while increased regulatory pressure on issuers further constrained supply. Simultaneously, capital shifted toward traditional safe havens like gold and silver, which reached all-time highs amid rising risk aversion. The liquidity squeeze and regulatory uncertainty continue to pose headwinds for crypto risk assets.

Crypto Market Structure Bill Markup Slips To Jan. 29 As Winter Storm Hits Capitol

The Senate Agriculture Committee's markup of the crypto market structure bill (CLARITY Act) has been postponed to January 29 due to severe winter weather disrupting travel and congressional scheduling. This delay adds to existing political uncertainty, as the legislation remains divided along party lines with only Republican members publicly supporting it so far. Despite the delay, the crypto industry has responded positively to the latest draft, praising its clear protections for noncustodial software developers and blockchain infrastructure providers, while notably excluding provisions on stablecoin yields. However, the overall legislative timeline remains unclear, with the Senate Banking Committee expected to delay its portion, potentially pushing broader negotiations into late February or March.
