Kennedy Backs CLARITY Act, Paving Senate Path for Crypto Rules

Sen. John Kennedy plans to vote yes on the Digital Asset Market CLARITY Act in the Senate Banking Committee markup after striking a deal with Chairman Tim Scott to add fiduciary-duty provisions and attach Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s housing bill; the move solidifies Republican support for the bill even as Democrats file more than 100 amendments, including anti-DeFi proposals, with the bill expected to advance to the Senate floor before Memorial Day recess.

DJI Avata 360 fuses 360-degree capture with traditional FPV, but US launch remains blocked

DJI's Avata 360 blends true 360-degree capture with a swiveling gimbal for a traditional FPV mode, offering multiple control options (phone app, RC, goggles with motion controller, or twin-stick) and user-replaceable lenses. It outmatches Antigravity’s A1 on speed, range, and video options (up to 8K60 for 360, 4K60 in single-lens mode), while built-in prop guards and omnidirectional sensors boost safety. However a US official launch is blocked despite FCC clearance, with imports likely the only path for US buyers; outside the US it begins shipping in April. Drone-only prices start around £409/€459 (~$540), with bundles cheaper than Antigravity’s but lacking a DJI Goggles 3 bundle in the lineup.

Polymarket tests onion-ban rules with offshore bets on Golden Globes

FT Alphaville explains how Polymarket’s Golden Globes bets sit in a regulatory grey area: the 1958 Onion Futures Act bans onion futures and a 2010 amendment blocks cinema box-office futures, pushing such bets offshore. Polymarket runs a US-restricted site for compliant markets while offering non-US bets (including box-office-ish wagers) on its main offshore platform, a setup Kalshi does not replicate. The piece notes regulatory scrutiny and a $1.4 million penalty in 2022 for non-compliant activities, highlighting how offshore platforms navigate jurisdictional rules while hosting high-profile event bets.

JPMorgan Highlights Ethereum's Potential to Drive Next Crypto Boom

The stablecoin supply on Ethereum has reached an all-time high of $130 billion, driven by increased activity across multiple blockchains and recent U.S. regulatory clarity. This surge in stablecoin liquidity, along with capital rotation from Bitcoin and growing reserves in the U.S., could potentially trigger a new altcoin rally, especially if stablecoin dominance declines further and Bitcoin's dominance continues to fall.
