JPMorgan backs crypto bill as Donald Trump vows to ‘not sign other bills’ – What now?

The House-passed Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025 faces an uncertain future despite gaining significant backing from JPMorgan, a major shift for the traditionally crypto-skeptical bank. According to BitGo CEO Mike Belshe, this support is crucial as regulatory uncertainty has been the largest obstacle to institutional adoption. Should the bill pass, it could simplify market entry for institutional investors, potentially leading to wider cryptocurrency uptake. However, approval odds on Polymarket have dropped to 45%. Supporters, including Rep. French Hill and former CFTC Chairman Michael Selig, are pushing for a Senate vote before the August recess to force a compromise. Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin also supports the legislation. Yet, Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren criticizes the current draft as enabling sanctions evasion. A further complication is former President Donald Trump's vow not to sign other bills until the SAVE America Act is passed, pushing the CLARITY Act's next deadline to August 7th.

‘Chicago’s last trade?’ – CFTC Chair warns against new 0.2% crypto tax

CFTC Chair Mike Selig criticizes a new Illinois law imposing a 0.2% tax on every cryptocurrency transaction, warning it could undermine Chicago's financial standing by driving investors and businesses away. He argues the state's punitive approach contradicts the federal government's more measured CLARITY Act, aimed at fostering innovation. The tax is set to take effect in January 2027. Broader federal crypto tax proposals addressing issues like double taxation are under review but face delays, with progress likely dependent on the outcome of the November midterm elections.

Is Trump using the CLARITY Act as leverage in broader negotiations?

The July 4 deadline for the CLARITY Act's passage appears set to lapse without approval, following nearly a year of delays since the House passed it in July 2025. The current holdup stems from President Donald Trump using the bill as leverage in broader negotiations. He recently called off the signing ceremony for the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, having previously stated he would not sign other bills until Republicans pass the SAVE America Act. This creates a Senate scheduling crunch, squeezing the CLARITY Act's chances before the August recess. Despite Trump's move, Senator Tim Scott and others express hope for advancing the crypto market structure bill quickly, citing a bipartisan Senate Banking Committee proposal. The urgency is driven by concerns that prolonged regulatory uncertainty could push the crypto ecosystem to other nations. However, the bill risks losing momentum if Republicans cannot secure the required 60 votes before the recess, potentially delaying it until 2027. Galaxy Research has consequently lowered its outlook for the Act's passage from 60% to 50%.

Crypto Lobby Pushes Congress To Keep Staking And Mining Tax Bill Intact

Crypto advocacy groups are urging U.S. lawmakers to pass the Tax Clarity for Mining and Staking Act (H.R. 9175) without changes. The bill seeks to clarify that rewards for proof-of-work miners and proof-of-stake validators are taxed only when the assets are sold, not immediately when received. This deferred tax treatment is crucial for operators' cash flow and profitability. The proposal faces opposition from banking interests, who argue it could give crypto yield products an unfair advantage over traditional savings. The outcome will impact network decentralization, as complex tax rules could push out smaller operators. The lobbying effort marks an expansion of crypto's policy focus beyond market structure into tax rules that underpin network economics. The bill's fate depends on whether Congress advances it as a standalone clarification or part of a broader digital-asset package.

Second Half of U.S. Crypto Policy: The Clarity Act Aims for 60 Votes, CFTC's "One-Person Commission" Becomes Biggest Variable

In a pivotal year for US crypto policy, the "CLARITY Act" is advancing in the Senate but faces a high hurdle, needing 60 votes to pass. Key challenges include bridging partisan divides on ethics and swaying undecided Republican senators within a tight legislative calendar of only about 40 working days. The policy "second half" involves intense negotiations on a broader framework for Web3 and DeFi, including crypto tax reforms and the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act. A significant uncertainty is the understaffed CFTC, operating with four commissioner vacancies, which complicates regulatory clarity. Meanwhile, the departure of key "crypto champions"—SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce and Senator Cynthia Lummis—will impact ongoing policy efforts. Industry experts are cautiously optimistic but realistic. Sara K. Weed notes that while progress is being made, CLARITY is unlikely to pass this Congress, pushing agencies like the SEC and CFTC to provide more guidance. Sulolit Mukherjee suggests meaningful crypto tax legislation is more likely to be attached to larger must-pass bills. Rashan Colbert discusses the jurisdictional debate over prediction markets, emphasizing the need for a regulatory framework that fosters their development as financial tools rather than treating them broadly as gambling. The clock is ticking, but opportunities remain for substantive progress through continued bipartisan dialogue and pragmatic efforts.

Fed Chair Kevin Warsh Faces Congress on July 14 Amid Rate Hike Debate

Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh will testify before the House Financial Services Committee on July 14, providing his first monetary policy assessment to Congress. This hearing occurs weeks before the Federal Open Market Committee's next meeting and fulfills the Fed's biannual reporting requirement. Investors are closely watching for insights on inflation and interest rates. Attention has shifted to the upcoming Personal Consumption Expenditures price index data, with May's figures expected to show a 0.5% monthly increase. Due to persistent inflation, some institutions like Bank of America now forecast three quarter-point rate hikes in September, October, and December, a shift from earlier expectations of no changes this year. Markets currently see a low probability of a July rate hike but are increasingly pricing in tightening later in the year, with CME FedWatch data indicating over a 50% chance of a move by September.

Congress Advances CBDC Ban Until 2030 Through Major Housing Reform Bill

Congress has passed the 21st Century Road to Housing Act, a bipartisan bill primarily focused on housing reform to improve affordability and supply. Included within it is a significant provision that bans the Federal Reserve from issuing a central bank digital currency (CBDC) or "digital dollar" before December 31, 2030. The measure defines a CBDC as a dollar-denominated digital asset, a direct liability of the Fed, accessible to all Americans. Proponents argue the ban allows more time to study a digital dollar's impacts and addresses concerns about privacy, financial surveillance, and government overreach in digital payments. The provision specifically targets a retail CBDC but does not restrict permissionless blockchain networks. This crypto-related language, embedded in broader housing legislation, has drawn considerable attention for its potential to shape the future of digital assets and payments in the U.S. The bill's final passage will determine if the ban takes effect for the next decade.

House Committee Unveils 7 Crypto Tax Drafts—A Major Overhaul Of How Digital Assets Are Taxed

The US House Ways and Means Committee has released seven crypto tax discussion drafts, marking a major legislative effort to clarify how digital assets are taxed. This initiative, backed by committee leadership, aims to establish clearer rules on the timing and treatment of taxes for activities like crypto mining, staking rewards, and stablecoin transactions, including potential capital gains exemptions. The package also seeks to extend wash sale restrictions to digital assets. Lawmakers are working with the Treasury, Commerce Department, and White House on the measures, while Senate tax writers are also developing their own legislation, signaling a move toward a more unified approach to crypto taxation.

Polymarket And Kalshi Are Now Under Congressional Investigation — The Evidence That Triggered It Is Hard To Dismiss

Congress has launched a formal investigation into prediction market platforms Polymarket and Kalshi, led by House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer. The probe demands explanations on how the platforms prevent insider trading, sparked by suspicious bets tied to classified U.S. military actions. Evidence includes a U.S. soldier's trades before the Venezuela incursion and accounts netting millions from well-timed wagers on U.S.-Iran strikes and a ceasefire announcement. Both companies, which recently updated their rules, face scrutiny over their rapid growth and Washington lobbying. This investigation poses a significant threat that could reshape the prediction market industry.

Bitcoin Becomes a National Strategic Asset? U.S. Congressman Proposes Annual Purchase of 200,000 BTC, Locked for 20 Years Without Sale

U.S. Representative Nick Begich (R-Alaska) introduced the "American Reserve Modernization Act" (ARMA) on May 21, aiming to codify a strategic Bitcoin reserve into law. Building on a prior executive order, the bill seeks to establish a permanent national Bitcoin reserve managed by the Treasury Department. The proposed legislation would authorize the Treasury to acquire up to 200,000 Bitcoin annually for five years, targeting a total reserve of 1 million Bitcoin, roughly 5% of the total supply. All acquired Bitcoin would be locked and held for at least 20 years. Representative Begich likened Bitcoin's role in crypto to gold's in precious metals, calling it the dominant store of value in its asset class. The U.S. government currently holds approximately 328,000 Bitcoin, largely from law enforcement seizures, but lacks a coherent management strategy for these assets. Co-sponsors emphasized the urgency of addressing this gap. This move coincides with a wave of crypto-friendly legislation in Washington, including recent bipartisan committee approval of a major digital asset market structure bill. Concurrently, the Treasury has intensified crackdowns on illicit crypto finance, seizing hundreds of millions in assets, further highlighting the need for a comprehensive digital asset strategy. The White House has indicated that operational details for the strategic Bitcoin reserve are forthcoming, with key legal hurdles reportedly cleared.
