US Treasury Secretary Urges Congress To Pass Crypto Market Structure Bill This Spring

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has urged Congress to pass the stalled crypto market structure bill, the CLARITY Act, this spring to provide market reassurance amid recent volatility. He noted that some industry opposition has contributed to instability and emphasized the importance of bipartisan cooperation to advance the legislation. Bessent warned that the opportunity could diminish if Democrats gain control of the House in November. Patrick Witt of the Crypto Council also discussed the bill's progress, highlighting that the Senate Agriculture Committee portion has passed, but the Banking Committee's section remains pending. He called for compromise to address issues like stablecoin regulations without derailing the broader bill, which includes key measures on regulatory clarity and developer protections.

Crypto Group Pushes Back on CLARITY Act Bank Plan

The Digital Chamber, a crypto trade association, has pushed back against proposals from major U.S. banks in the ongoing debate over the CLARITY Act. While acknowledging the banking sector's concerns about stablecoin yields potentially undermining traditional deposits, the group rejected automatic regulatory rules following a proposed two-year study. CEO Cody Carbone indicated openness to compromise, such as limiting interest-like features, but insisted on preserving incentives for transactions and innovation. Recent White House meetings between industry and banking stakeholders failed to produce an agreement, with both sides maintaining their positions. Patrick Witt of the President’s Council of Advisors warned that the narrowing legislative window before midterm elections adds urgency to reaching a compromise. The core dispute remains whether yield-paying stablecoins threaten financial stability or represent technological progress. With time running out, the fate of the CLARITY Act—which aims to provide regulatory clarity for digital assets—hangs in the balance.

White House Crypto Adviser Warns Time Is Running Out To Pass CLARITY Act

White House crypto adviser Patrick Witt warns that time is running out to pass the CLARITY Act, a key crypto market structure bill, as the 2026 midterm elections approach and political focus shifts. Bipartisan consensus remains elusive, with stablecoin regulation—particularly whether they should be allowed to offer yield—being a major sticking point. Banking industry leaders fear deposit outflows without clear rules. Despite delays, the administration continues to refine the proposal. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong remains optimistic, predicting legislation within months and calling for a "win-win" outcome for banks, crypto firms, and the public.

Brazil Introduces Bill to Accumulate 1 Million Bitcoin Over Five Years

Brazil's Congress has proposed a bill, the Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Act, to accumulate 1 million Bitcoin as a national strategic reserve over five years. The legislation includes provisions to pay federal taxes in Bitcoin, offers full income tax exemption on Bitcoin capital gains, and provides incentives for mining and custody businesses. It also proposes a ban on selling Bitcoin confiscated by the judiciary. If passed, this would position Brazil as a leading national holder of Bitcoin, significantly impact the global Bitcoin market due to its fixed supply, and represent a major shift in digital currency taxation policy. The specifics regarding governance, regulatory updates, and the purchase process are still under discussion.

SEC Chair Confirms Crypto Taxonomy Guidance In Line With CLARITY Act Framework

SEC Chair Paul Atkins announced plans to develop formal guidance on token classification, aligning with the anticipated CLARITY Act framework, during a House Financial Services Committee hearing. He emphasized the need for regulatory certainty and a comprehensive federal framework to support investors and innovators. While acknowledging recent SEC efforts, Atkins stressed that durable reform requires bipartisan legislation. The SEC will collaborate with the CFTC through Project Crypto to develop a token taxonomy and consider tailored exemptions for blockchain transactions. Additionally, Atkins directed a review of the Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT) to assess governance, efficiency, and cybersecurity. Meanwhile, crypto markets experienced a significant downturn, with Bitcoin falling to $65,000 and Ethereum to $1,916, reducing total market capitalization to $2.23 trillion.

Crypto PAC Pledges $1.5M to Unseat Al Green in Texas

A pro-crypto Super PAC, Protect Progress, has pledged $1.5 million to oppose Representative Al Green in the upcoming Texas Democratic primary. The group, an affiliate of the crypto-focused Fairshake PAC, is targeting Green due to his voting record against major crypto legislation, including the GENIUS Act and CLARITY Act. It claims his stance harms innovation and economic growth in Texas. Green faces challenger Christian Menefee, whom the group rates as "strongly supportive" of crypto. Menefee has expressed interest in using blockchain for practical applications like reducing property fraud. The primary outcome may indicate the growing influence of crypto-backed funding in shaping elections. Fairshake, which has raised $193 million, spent approximately $130 million in the 2024 cycle to support pro-crypto candidates. This race exemplifies the crypto industry's expanding political footprint and its strategy to influence regulatory debates through targeted campaign spending.

Ripple Exec Warns Compromise Is Coming – What This Means For XRP

Ripple's Chief Legal Officer, Stuart Alderoty, indicated that a compromise may be near in ongoing discussions between banks, the U.S. Senate, and crypto leaders regarding stablecoin regulations. A recent White House meeting, though not final, was described as productive. Banks presented principles opposing yield-bearing stablecoins to protect traditional banking, but reportedly made a key compromise by allowing possible exemptions. This could permit transaction-based rewards under strict conditions, impacting Ripple’s operations and its stablecoin RLUSD. The outcome, expected by March 2026, may define permissible crypto activities and significantly influence XRP’s regulatory environment and market role.

Paused Justin Sun Case Is Testing SEC’s New Crypto Approach — Under Fire Chair Paul Atkins Responds

SEC Chair Paul Atkins addressed concerns about the paused enforcement case against Tron founder Justin Sun, emphasizing the agency's commitment to transparency and regulatory clarity while citing legal constraints on discussing active cases. Democratic lawmakers have criticized the SEC's recent pullback from crypto enforcement actions, alleging selective leniency toward politically connected figures. The Sun case, paused for 11 months, has become a focal point in debates over crypto regulatory approach and potential political influence. Under the Trump administration, U.S. crypto policy has advanced through stablecoin legislation, executive action, and a shift from litigation toward rulemaking. Atkins highlighted efforts to develop clearer guidelines with the CFTC, but critics argue the enforcement changes risk undermining investor protection and consistent application of securities laws.

Crypto Clarity Act: No Deal in White House Yield Meeting

A White House meeting on the Clarity Act, focused on the contentious issue of stablecoin rewards, ended without a deal. Banking groups pushed for a near-total ban on offering any form of reward to stablecoin holders, arguing such payments could destabilize traditional banking and reduce lending. Crypto advocates sought broader definitions for "permissible activities" that would allow rewards. Despite the lack of a compromise, participants from both sides described the talks as productive and a shift toward serious problem-solving. The White House urged stakeholders to reach an agreement by March 1, with further discussions expected soon.
