Senator Cynthia Lummis urges CLARITY Act rush: ‘Let’s get it done, once and for all’

After months of stalemate over stablecoin yield regulations, a breakthrough has been reached on the CLARITY Act. Following intense negotiations in March, the White House and Senators agreed on a compromise: passive rewards for simply holding stablecoins are prohibited, but activity-based rewards for using them in transactions are permitted. Senator Cynthia Lummis urged swift passage, warning that if the Senate Banking Committee doesn't approve the bill by April's end, progress could stall until 2027 due to the upcoming midterm elections. Market sentiment has improved, with prediction markets showing a 10% increase in the act's passage odds. This legislation aims to establish clear crypto regulations, positioning the U.S. as a global digital asset hub.

Bitcoin Price Outlook Ahead Of The Midterm Elections — Details

The Bitcoin price has been attempting to recover and break above $74,000, though it remains influenced by geopolitical tensions. However, attention is shifting to the potential impact of the upcoming US midterm elections. Historical analysis by XWIN Research shows that BTC typically experiences weak activity during midterm election years due to increased market uncertainty and reduced risk appetite. In past midterm years (2014, 2018, 2022), Bitcoin declined over 60% but rebounded more than 50% within 12 months. For 2026, three scenarios are projected: a bearish short-term rally around April-May, a neutral recovery pushing BTC to $75,000-$95,000, or a bullish outcome with regulatory clarity driving prices to $90,000-$120,000. Overall, midterm years are characterized by lower liquidity and participation, likely causing pre-election weakness and post-election recovery. Currently, Bitcoin is trading around $70,400 with little change.

‘Quietly rebuilding momentum’ – Scaramucci backs Polkadot despite low network activity

Anthony Scaramucci, founder of SkyBridge, has turned bullish on Polkadot, citing key catalysts that are "quietly rebuilding momentum" for the blockchain. These include recent regulatory clarity from the SEC, which classified DOT as a digital commodity, and a major tokenomics update that hard-capped the supply at 2.1 billion tokens and cut annual emissions by 53%. The launch of the 21Shares Spot DOT ETF was also noted, though it has seen minimal inflows since debuting. Despite these developments, Polkadot's network activity has declined significantly over the past two years, with weekly active addresses dropping from 16,000 to 5,000. The tokenomics changes briefly boosted trader sentiment, leading to an 18% price rally, but positive momentum faded at the $1.65 resistance level. If macroeconomic uncertainty continues, DOT could retreat to $1.23. While Scaramucci highlights bullish factors, Polkadot's adoption remains weak, and it is unclear how quickly recent upgrades will reignite growth and lift the token's value.

When Wall Street's ETH Starts to 'Earn': From BlackRock's ETHB to Ethereum's Asset Attribute Shift

Wall Street Embraces Staking: BlackRock's ETHB and Ethereum's Shift to a Yield-Generating Asset On March 12, 2026, BlackRock launched the iShares Staked Ethereum Trust (ETHB) on Nasdaq, a groundbreaking Ethereum ETF that not only holds spot ETH but also stakes a significant portion (70-95%) of its assets to generate and distribute yield to investors. This move effectively answers a long-debated question: whether ETH can be accepted by mainstream finance as a yield-bearing asset. ETHB operates by delegating staking to professional validators like Figment via Coinbase Prime. It distributes approximately 82% of the staking rewards (estimated at 2.3%-2.5% APY after fees) to shareholders monthly, while retaining 18% as service fees and charging a 0.25% annual management fee. This provides a predictable, automated cash flow, though it lacks the compounding effect of native on-chain staking unless investors manually reinvest distributions. This development is significant as it marks the formal entry of staking—a core crypto-native activity—into Wall Street's asset framework. Under new SEC leadership, regulatory barriers have eased, allowing BlackRock to legitimize staking rewards as a viable investment return. This paves the way for other PoS-based ETFs (e.g., Solana, Cardano) and may shift substantial capital from traditional spot ETFs to yield-generating products. While on-chain staking options remain popular (e.g., native staking, liquid staking via Lido/Rocket Pool, or wallet-based staking), ETHB’s introduction signals a broader shift: ETH is increasingly viewed not just as a speculative asset, but as a productive, cash-flow-generating machine. The trend of making assets "work" is now irreversible, whether through traditional financial products or decentralized protocols.

South Korea Builds AI Tax Tracker While Moving To Drop Crypto Tax

South Korea's tax authority is investing $2 million in an AI system to track unreported cryptocurrency income, set to launch by late 2026. This move comes despite a legislative push by the opposition party to abolish the planned 20-22% crypto tax scheduled for 2027. Lawmakers argue the tax creates an uneven playing field, as stocks are not subject to a similar financial investment income tax, and enforcing it on foreign investors would be administratively burdensome. Simultaneously, law enforcement is tightening rules on privacy-focused cryptocurrencies, and exchanges will be required to monitor transactions for fraud starting in October.

Trump’s crypto advisor confirms ‘agreement in principle’ on CLARITY Act

Trump's crypto advisor Patrick Witt confirmed a bipartisan 'agreement in principle' has been reached between the Senate and White House to advance the stalled CLARITY Act, a major crypto market structure bill. The breakthrough addresses banking industry concerns over stablecoin yields by blocking rewards on passive balances to prevent deposit flight, while permitting activity-based rewards for transactions and utility. This compromise, brokered by Senators Tillis and Alsobrooks, aims to unblock the legislation which had been stalled since January 2026. The bill's passage now depends on banking industry support, with a Senate markup expected after Easter recess if approved. The legislation faces a tight timeline to pass before the August recess and upcoming elections.

UK Moves To Shut Down Crypto Exchange Tied To Iran’s Military

A UK-registered cryptocurrency exchange, Zedxion, is being shut down after a TRM Labs investigation revealed that nearly 90% of its 2024 transactions, totaling around $1 billion, were linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The UK’s Companies House initiated a compulsory strike-off after discovering the firm filed false information, including a fictitious director named Elizabeth Newman, whose image was traced to a stock photo. The previous director was linked to Babak Zanjani, an Iranian businessman previously sentenced for corruption. The action follows US sanctions imposed in January against Zedxion and a related platform, Zedcex, for supporting the IRGC.

The Second Half of Stablecoins No Longer Belongs to the Crypto World

The article discusses the shift in the stablecoin market from the crypto sector to traditional finance, highlighted by Mastercard's acquisition of BVNK for up to $1.8 billion in March 2026. This move came after Coinbase abandoned a $2 billion deal for BVNK months earlier, signaling intensified competition for stablecoin infrastructure. BVNK specializes in cross-border payments using a "stablecoin sandwich" model: converting fiat to stablecoins like USDC for blockchain transfer, then back to local currency, reducing transaction times and costs. Its key asset is a suite of global licenses, including EMI from the UK FCA and CASP under EU MiCA, enabling compliance across 130+ countries. Mastercard's acquisition aims to integrate BVNK into its Multi-Token Network (MTN), a private blockchain for tokenized assets, addressing MTN's lack of connectivity with public chains. This enables atomic settlements, 24/7 B2B transactions, and programmable payments. The strategy contrasts with Visa’s partnership-focused approach, emphasizing direct control over infrastructure. The U.S. GENIUS Act (July 2025) provided regulatory clarity, defining stablecoins as non-securities under OCC oversight, which facilitated Mastercard’s move. The deal pressures players like Ripple and traditional correspondent banks, as Mastercard’s global network could disrupt cross-border payment fees. Ultimately, stablecoin evolution is becoming invisible to users—embedded in traditional finance for efficiency, not crypto adoption. Mastercard’s investment secures a foothold in the next-generation payment ecosystem.

When Wall Street's ETH Starts to 'Earn Interest': From BlackRock's ETHB to Ethereum's Asset Attribute Shift

On March 12, 2026, BlackRock launched the iShares Staked Ethereum Trust (ETHB), a staking-enabled Ethereum ETF on Nasdaq. Unlike traditional crypto ETFs that simply hold assets, ETHB stakes 70–95% of its ETH holdings through institutional validators like Figment, generating staking rewards. Approximately 82% of these rewards are distributed monthly to investors, with the remainder retained as fees. After management fees, investors can expect an annual yield of around 2.3–2.5%. ETHB marks a significant shift in how Ethereum is perceived within traditional finance—from a speculative asset to a yield-generating one. Its approval reflects a regulatory shift following Gary Gensler’s departure from the SEC and signals broader acceptance of staking as a legitimate financial mechanism. This move is expected to encourage other PoS-based crypto ETFs and may redirect substantial institutional capital toward yield-bearing products. While on-chain staking (via native, liquid, or wallet-based options) remains more flexible and potentially higher-yielding for crypto-native users, ETHB enables non-technical investors to access Ethereum’s native yield without direct blockchain interaction. This development reinforces ETH’s evolving role as a productive asset and accelerates the convergence of decentralized and traditional finance.

XRP, Ethereum, Others Get SEC Shock: Analyst Says $4.7 Trillion Has Been Unlocked

The U.S. SEC has signaled a major policy shift, indicating that many crypto assets—including XRP, Ethereum, Solana, and 13 others—are not securities but "digital commodities." This reclassification could unlock an estimated $4.7 trillion in capital, combining the $1.8 trillion market cap of these assets with nearly $3 trillion in sidelined institutional funds. The new stance may collapse ongoing lawsuits against exchanges like Coinbase and Kraken, accelerate spot ETF approvals for various cryptocurrencies, and encourage greater institutional participation from firms like BlackRock and Goldman Sachs. However, this remains an interpretive shift, not law, and its long-term durability is uncertain pending legislative action.
