Crypto Industry Voices Opposition To Potential Limits On Stablecoin Rewards In Legislation

A coalition of cryptocurrency firms, led by the Blockchain Association, is urging the Senate Banking Committee to reject provisions in the recently passed GENIUS Act that could restrict stablecoin rewards. The legislation currently prohibits stablecoin issuers from offering interest but allows third-party platforms to provide rewards. The banking industry argues this is a loophole that could lead to deposit outflows, while crypto advocates maintain the law strikes a necessary balance for competition. They challenge the banks' claims, citing a lack of evidence linking stablecoins to reduced bank lending and accusing them of protectionism. Democrats suggest a compromise is possible to protect the banking system while permitting rewards.

Crypto CLARITY Act set for Senate markup in January, says Sacks

The long-awaited Crypto CLARITY Act is set for a Senate markup in January, according to White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks. Senate Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott and Agriculture Committee Chair John Boozman confirmed the bipartisan bill will advance next month. The legislation aims to define crypto securities and commodities, clarify regulatory roles between the SEC and CFTC, and reduce uncertainty for crypto firms. Supporters say it will establish clearer compliance pathways, encourage innovation, and strengthen investor protections. Work on the bill continued during the recent government shutdown, with regulators meeting executives from major crypto companies and venture firms.

Bitcoin Policy Institute reps sound alarm on de minimis tax exclusion

The Bitcoin Policy Institute (BPI) has raised concerns that proposed U.S. legislation for a de minimis tax exemption on small cryptocurrency transactions may exclude Bitcoin, applying only to stablecoins. BPI’s head of strategy, Conner Brown, called this a "severe mistake," arguing that such an exemption would encourage Bitcoin’s use as a medium of exchange, not just a store of value. The bill, introduced by Senator Cynthia Lummis, proposes exemptions for crypto transactions under $300, with a $5,000 annual cap, and includes provisions for charitable donations and deferred taxes on mining and staking rewards. Critics question the need for stablecoin exemptions since their value is stable. High transaction fees, block times, and tax implications currently limit Bitcoin’s use as everyday cash, though the Lightning Network offers a faster, cheaper payment solution.

Bipartisan SAFE Crypto Act Unveiled: New Task Force To Combat Digital Asset Scams

In a bipartisan effort, Senators Elissa Slotkin and Jerry Moran introduced the SAFE Crypto Act to establish a federal task force combating digital asset scams. The task force will unite the Treasury Department, law enforcement, regulators, and private experts to enhance capabilities against crypto-related fraud. It will analyze scam trends, evaluate prevention methods, and issue recommendations. Key focuses include Ponzi schemes, money laundering, and fraudulent ICOs. The task force will also assess international efforts and review scamming tactics targeting individuals through digital intermediaries. A comprehensive report will be submitted to Congress within one year, with annual updates to address emerging threats.

UK To Bring Crypto Under Financial Services Laws By 2027

The UK Treasury plans to extend existing financial services laws to regulate cryptoasset firms, including exchanges and wallet providers, by October 2027. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) will supervise the sector, requiring companies to meet standards on reporting, governance, and consumer protection similar to traditional finance. The move is intended to provide regulatory clarity, combat fraud, and enhance market integrity. A draft bill has been prepared, with FCA and Bank of England rules expected by late 2026. The UK’s approach aligns more closely with the US than the EU’s MiCA framework, though industry responses remain mixed regarding implementation details.

Decade-Long Tug-of-War Concludes: "Crypto Market Structure Bill" Races Toward Senate

After a decade of regulatory uncertainty, the U.S. is advancing the "Cryptocurrency Market Structure Act" (CLARITY Act), which is expected to move into the Senate for revision and voting next week. The bill, which passed the House with overwhelming support in July, aims to end the long-standing debate over whether digital assets are securities or commodities by introducing a clear classification framework. The core of the legislation distinguishes between "digital commodities" and "digital securities." Most tokens issued on decentralized blockchains will be classified as digital commodities under CFTC jurisdiction, while only those meeting the Howey test will remain regulated as securities by the SEC. The bill also establishes a "mature blockchain" exemption, allowing highly decentralized networks like Bitcoin and Ethereum to avoid SEC registration. Additionally, digital commodity trading platforms must register with the CFTC, with a 360-day interim registration period to ensure a smooth transition. The act mandates coordination between the CFTC and SEC through a joint advisory committee to prevent regulatory gaps. It also protects decentralized finance (DeFi) participants by exempting non-custodial, non-profit roles from broker-dealer regulations. This legislative push aligns with broader regulatory shifts under the Trump administration, which has appointed crypto-friendly leaders to key agencies like the SEC, CFTC, and FDIC. These changes, along with recent CFTC initiatives to allow spot crypto trading on regulated platforms, signal a structural shift toward embracing digital assets. The bill is poised to complement earlier stablecoin legislation, positioning the U.S. as a potential global leader in crypto regulation and attracting institutional investment, though challenges in DeFi oversight and international coordination remain.

Central Bank Proposes to Restrict Ordinary Russians' Right to Buy Cryptocurrency

The Central Bank of Russia (CBR) has proposed restrictions that would prevent ordinary Russian citizens from purchasing cryptocurrency, according to First Deputy Chairman Vladimir Chistyukhin. The regulator suggests allowing only qualified investors to access the crypto market, provided they pass a specific test to demonstrate their understanding of how cryptocurrency works. However, the proposed rules would not restrict individuals from holding or selling crypto assets they already own; they would only be barred from making new purchases. The CBR sees no need to inform non-professional investors about crypto-related financial instruments, which are currently available only to qualified investors. While not ruling out the possibility of eventually allowing retail investors access under certain conditions and with limitations (such as only to the most liquid instruments), the CBR emphasized that legitimizing the crypto market is a current priority. The bank hopes for the adoption of cryptocurrency regulation laws by 2026.

American Federation Of Teachers Opposes Crypto Market Structure Bill In New Letter

The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) has formally opposed a proposed crypto market structure bill, urging the Senate Banking Committee to reconsider the legislation. In a letter, AFT President Randi Weingarten called the bill “irresponsible” and “reckless,” warning it could endanger pension funds and retirement plans like 401(k)s by exposing them to volatile and potentially fraudulent crypto assets. She highlighted a provision allowing non-crypto companies to issue stock on blockchain, bypassing existing securities regulations, which could lead to “disastrous outcomes.” The AFT’s opposition aligns with concerns from other groups, including the AFL-CIO and several Democratic senators, who fear the bill may weaken investor protections and potentially trigger another financial crisis. Progress on the bill has been delayed, but a new draft is expected for review soon.

End of a Decade-Long Debate: US Legislatively Distinguishes 'Digital Commodities vs. Digital Securities' for the First Time, CFTC Takes Over Secondary Market

The U.S. is advancing the Crypto-Asset Market Structure Act (CLARITY Act), which aims to resolve the long-standing regulatory debate over whether digital assets are securities or commodities. The bill establishes a clear distinction: tokens issued on sufficiently decentralized blockchains are classified as "digital commodities" under CFTC oversight, while those meeting the Howey test remain "digital securities" regulated by the SEC. It introduces a "mature blockchain" exemption, allowing networks like Bitcoin to avoid SEC registration if they meet decentralization criteria. The CFTC will oversee secondary markets, requiring trading platforms to register as digital commodity exchanges. The legislation also includes limited fundraising exemptions and mandates coordination between the CFTC and SEC via a joint advisory committee. This move, supported by crypto-friendly appointments under the Trump administration, signals a structured regulatory approach aimed at fostering innovation while protecting investors.

Securities or Commodities? A Decade-Long Tug-of-War Ends as the 'Crypto Market Structure Act' Races to the Senate

The "Cryptocurrency Market Structure Act" (CLARITY Act) is advancing to the U.S. Senate for final review after passing the House with strong support. The bill aims to resolve the long-standing regulatory debate over whether cryptocurrencies are classified as securities or commodities. It introduces a clear framework: tokens on decentralized blockchains are defined as "digital commodities" under CFTC oversight, while those meeting the Howey test remain securities regulated by the SEC. Key provisions include a "mature blockchain" exemption for highly decentralized networks like Bitcoin and Ethereum, a 360-day temporary registration pathway for trading platforms, and a fundraising exemption of up to $75 million for certain token offerings with enhanced disclosure. The bill also establishes a joint advisory committee to improve coordination between the CFTC and SEC and explicitly exempts non-custodial DeFi actors from broker-dealer regulations. This legislative effort aligns with the Trump administration's pro-crypto stance, including the appointment of industry-friendly leaders at key agencies like the SEC and CFTC, and recent moves to allow regulated spot crypto trading on CFTC-approved exchanges. If enacted, the law would provide regulatory clarity, encourage institutional adoption, and position the U.S. as a leader in the digital asset space.
