Bitcoin Rally Fueled by Trump-Backed Clarity Act Push

Bitcoin jumped over 5% to about $72,384, its highest since June, with a two-day gain near 12% as Treasury yields fell and a short squeeze boosted crypto trading; Coinbase and Circle rose roughly 7% as crypto executives pressed Congress to pass a fair Clarity Act before year-end, a move seen as a key catalyst for regulation and the market’s exit from the crypto winter, though partisan divides over ethics rules threaten timing and a Senate vote; Bitcoin remains about 40% below its October 2025 high of around $126,000.

SEC Proposes Startup-Scale Crypto Fundraising Exemptions After Surprise Reversal

The SEC proposed two exemptions under Regulation Crypto Assets to let crypto projects raise funds without full securities registration: up to $5 million over four years for startups, or up to $75 million annually if issuers provide financial statements and ongoing reports, with disclosures and antifraud rules still applying; a conditional safe harbor could allow a token to delink from its initial investment contract if conditions are met. The move follows an abrupt reversal after canceling a meeting amid pressure from Wall Street and the White House, signaling a pragmatic push to foster crypto innovation while protecting investors, as Treasury GENIUS Act rules advance and Clarity Act negotiations continue.

Trump-Affiliated World Liberty Wins Preliminary Bank Charter to Issue Stablecoins

The Treasury granted a conditional, preliminary bank charter to World Liberty Trust Company, a Trump-linked venture, enabling it to issue dollar-tied stablecoins. The move cements a crypto-friendly regulatory path for the company, which is co-founded by Donald Trump and has reportedly earned the former president nearly $800 million in 2025. The charter includes safeguards to keep the Trump family business separate from banking operations, while critics like Sen. Elizabeth Warren argue it represents potential self-dealing.

Trump urges Congress to move on the Clarity Act amid looming crypto-regulation timetable

Trump is pushing the Senate to pass the Clarity Act, a broad crypto-policy bill that would assign CFTC oversight to crypto spot markets, define a "mature blockchain" to guide whether tokens are treated as securities, regulate stablecoin yields, and add consumer protections. With an August recess narrowing the window, analysts see a possible vote before the break but warn passage isn’t guaranteed and a lame-duck path remains possible amid bipartisan hesitations and ongoing regulatory concerns.

Dimon slams Coinbase chief as banks push tougher crypto rules

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon publicly blasted Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, calling him “full of s--t” and warned that big banks will oppose the current form of the Clarity Act, which aims to plug regulatory gaps in digital assets and would subject exchanges to stronger oversight; Armstrong has been spending heavily to lobby DC to shape the bill in crypto’s favor, while banks argue that allowing platforms to pay interest on stablecoins could siphon deposits as the legislation moves through Congress.
