US Official Says Seized Bitcoin From Samourai Case Was Not Sold

A senior White House advisor confirmed that the 57.55 BTC (worth approximately $6.3 million) seized in the Samourai Wallet case has not been sold by the U.S. government. The Bitcoin will instead be held in the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, as directed by Executive Order 14233 signed by President Trump in March 2025. The clarification came after blockchain analysts observed a transfer to a Coinbase Prime address, sparking speculation about a potential sale. The Department of Justice stated the transfer was an internal custody procedure and not a liquidation. The case involved Samourai Wallet developers who pleaded guilty to operating an unlicensed money-transmitting service and money laundering. The policy to hold rather than auction seized Bitcoin aims to prevent market volatility, though opinions remain divided on the long-term implications of the government's crypto reserve strategy.

U.S. government confirms it did not sell Bitcoin seized from Samourai Wallet

The U.S. government has not sold the Bitcoin seized from Samourai Wallet, according to a confirmation from the Department of Justice (DOJ). The statement refutes earlier claims that the assets were liquidated, which would have violated Executive Order 14233 requiring forfeited Bitcoin to be retained. The DOJ clarified that the Bitcoin remains on the government’s balance sheet as part of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. On-chain data from Arkham supports this, showing no significant outflows from known U.S. government wallets. The confusion stemmed from historical precedent where seized Bitcoin was auctioned, but current policy under the executive order mandates holding such assets. The U.S. government continues to hold over 328,000 BTC, valued at more than $31 billion.

Bitcoin Needs Expanding Dollar Liquidity To Regain Momentum: Hayes

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes argues that Bitcoin's ability to reach new all-time highs depends on expanding US dollar liquidity in 2026. He identifies potential triggers, including Federal Reserve balance sheet expansion, lower mortgage rates, and increased bank lending to government-backed sectors. Hayes links 2025's crypto underperformance to capital flows narrative rather than a loss of crypto's value proposition, noting tech stocks outperformed due to state-directed investment in AI and military production. Recent cooler inflation data boosted crypto, illustrating how monetary conditions impact risk assets. Hayes frames Bitcoin as a hedge against fiat debasement, but emphasizes that its bullish outlook remains contingent on loose monetary policy and increased dollar liquidity.

US Crypto Policy Debate Intensifies as CLARITY Act Support Fractures

Washington's efforts to regulate the crypto market face new uncertainty as the CLARITY Act, a key legislative proposal, encounters significant setbacks. Coinbase withdrew its support, citing concerns over restrictions on tokenized equities, crypto rewards, and expanded government data access. This prompted a pause in the Senate Banking Committee's progress on the bill, though the White House reaffirmed its backing. The debate centers on whether the SEC or CFTC should have primary oversight, with exchanges favoring the CFTC's commodity-based approach. Industry leaders are divided, with some supporting the bill as a necessary step forward despite its flaws, while others warn it could stifle innovation. Stablecoin regulation and consumer protection remain contentious issues.

Bill Vote Imminent, Why Did Coinbase Back Down at the Last Minute?

The "CLARITY Act," a key U.S. crypto regulation bill, was set for a Senate committee vote on January 14. However, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong withdrew the company’s support, declaring that "a bad bill is worse than no bill." This move isolated Coinbase from other major industry players, including a16z, Ripple, Kraken, and Coin Center, all of whom backed the bill for reasons tied to regulatory clarity, business strategy, or legal protection for developers. The core of Coinbase’s opposition lies in a provision that would prohibit paying yields on "static holdings" of stablecoins—a direct threat to its business model. In 2025, Coinbase generated approximately $1.4 billion in revenue from its stablecoin yield program. The bill’s restrictions could severely impact this critical revenue stream. While other companies saw the bill as a necessary step toward legitimacy and market stability, Armstrong adopted a principled stance against compromising on what he deemed flawed regulation. This divergence reflects a deeper philosophical split within the industry: idealistic resistance versus pragmatic negotiation. The resulting internal conflict has delayed the legislative process and weakened the industry’s collective lobbying power in Washington. It also underscores the ongoing tension between crypto’s decentralized ideals and its commercial realities.

X cracks down on ‘InfoFi’ reward models, triggering sell-offs across crypto social tokens

X has updated its API policies to ban applications that financially reward users for posting or engaging on the platform, a move targeting so-called "InfoFi" models. The change, announced by Head of Product Nikita Bier, aims to reduce automated replies, low-quality engagement, and AI-generated spam. As a result, several InfoFi-linked tokens experienced significant sell-offs, with the sector's market cap dropping over 11% to around $367 million. Prominent tokens like Kaito AI and Cookie DAO fell sharply, highlighting the platform dependency risk for crypto-social projects built on centralized infrastructures. The policy shift has led to widespread discussion about the sustainability of reward-driven engagement models on X.

Crypto Market Structure Bill Paused: Senate Banking Cancels Markup

The Senate Banking Committee has postponed the markup of a crypto market structure bill following opposition from Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, who argued the current draft is "materially worse than the status quo" and would effectively ban tokenized equities, restrict DeFi, and stifle innovation. Committee Chairman Tim Scott described the delay as a tactical pause to continue bipartisan negotiations, emphasizing the goal of establishing clear rules to protect consumers and national security. The move has split the crypto industry, with firms like a16z, Circle, and Ripple expressing support for the legislative effort, while others, including Bitwise Asset Management, sided with Coinbase's stance that "no bill is better than a bad bill." Despite the setback, key figures like Galaxy Digital's Mike Novogratz remain optimistic about a eventual compromise, noting ongoing good-faith discussions among lawmakers. The total crypto market cap was $3.22 trillion at the time of reporting.

‘Too many issues’- Coinbase CEO withdraws support for CLARITY Act

Coinbase has withdrawn its support for the CLARITY Act, a crypto market structure bill, leading the Senate Banking Committee to postpone its markup. CEO Brian Armstrong stated the current version has "too many issues" and is "bad for the sector," preferring no bill over a bad one. Key objections include bans on tokenized equities, stablecoin rewards, and privacy-limiting DeFi restrictions. In response, Chairman Tim Scott delayed the session to allow further bipartisan negotiations. The market's odds of the bill passing this year fell to 52%, down from 80%, reflecting increased uncertainty. Senator Elizabeth Warren also proposed 35 stricter amendments, seen as favorable to traditional banks.

Mainland Stablecoin Regulation "Lands" and Digital Yuan 2.0 "Sets Sail"

China's regulatory landscape for digital currency is undergoing a significant shift, marked by two key developments: the explicit regulatory stance on stablecoins and the launch of the Digital Yuan 2.0. In late November, authorities reinforced that stablecoins like USDT are considered illegal virtual currencies, aligning with the 2021 regulatory framework. This move aims to curb their use in circumventing foreign exchange controls and illegal financial activities. The judicial system has also tightened, reversing earlier trends where courts occasionally offered limited relief in crypto-related disputes. Simultaneously, the Digital Yuan has evolved from a basic digital cash (M0) system to a more advanced "digital deposit currency" (Digital Yuan 2.0). This upgrade introduces interest-bearing accounts, smart contract capabilities, and greater integration with the commercial banking system, enhancing its functionality and appeal while maintaining a centralized, state-controlled framework. For Web3 participants, the regulatory environment has heightened risks, shifting from compliance issues to potential criminal liability. Strategies include moving operations to regulated jurisdictions like Hong Kong, focusing on technical services within official frameworks, and exploring opportunities in cross-border payment systems like the multi-CBDC bridge. The overall trend indicates a state-driven effort to integrate beneficial technologies like programmable money into a controlled, sovereign system while eliminating unauthorized private alternatives.
