Clash
CLASH$0.053381+11.60%

Key Takeaways:

  • The U.S. Senate Banking Committee postponed the CLARITY Act markup as industry support fractures – with Coinbase stepping back while Ripple and a16z remain active in negotiations.
  • The bill seeks to split jurisdiction between the SEC and CFTC, protect self-custody and tighten money-laundering rules but language on stablecoin yield and DeFi is still a flashpoint.
  • Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse backs moving forward, saying clear rules beat chaos and issues can be fixed during the amendment process.

The Senate’s long-awaited crypto market structure bill has hit a speed bump. Lawmakers delayed a vote on the CLARITY Act this week to continue talks, highlighting ground fractures within the crypto industry over stablecoins, DeFi and regulatory reach.

Senate Hits Pause on CLARITY Act Markup

The Senate Banking Committee postponed its scheduled markup of the CLARITY Act, citing the need for more bipartisan talks. Chairman Tim Scott said lawmakers, regulators, and industry leaders remain “at the table” and are working in good faith to resolve outstanding issues. No new vote date has been announced.

Due to the Senate Agriculture Committee’s similar action on the CLARITY Act with regard to its interaction with the Commodities Future Trading Commission (CFTC), this delay impacts timing and alignments as both bodies must approve their respective bills before moving them forward to the Senate at large. 

The House has already sent its own version of the CLARITY Act through the legislative process as of July of this year. Nevertheless, there are procedural rules that the Senate Banking Committee has jurisdiction over SEC and the Agriculture Committee has jurisdiction over CFTC adding complexity and pressure to the task of putting together a single text.

Crypto Industry Splits Over Stablecoins and DeFi

The postponement is caused by the fact that even the crypto sector itself is divided. Coinbase publicly withdrew support, with CEO Brian Armstrong arguing the draft would be “materially worse than the status quo.” He flagged concerns about stablecoin yield restrictions, tokenized equities, DeFi limitations, and privacy risks tied to government access to financial data.

On the contrary, Ripple, a16z Crypto, Coin Center, Kraken and The Digital Chamber have remained active. They state that unfortunate rules are superior to regulatory limbo and that points of weakness can be corrected with specific amendments.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse made his stance clear on X, backing the effort by Senator Tim Scott and the Banking Committee. He said the bill represents a “massive step forward” and stressed that clarity beats chaos. Garlinghouse added that Ripple will continue working through the markup process to resolve issues, signaling confidence that compromises are possible.

Venture firms have echoed that tone. a16z leaders said builders need clear rules to operate in the U.S. and urged lawmakers to refine the draft rather than stall. The message is consistent: delay risks pushing innovation offshore.

What’s Inside the CLARITY Act

At its core, the CLARITY Act tries to end years of regulatory confusion by clearly defining which digital assets fall under securities law and which are commodities. The bill would:

  • Allocate oversight between the SEC and CFTC
  • Require disclosures for digital asset securities
  • Preserve the right to self-custody
  • Protect software developers who do not control user funds
  • Strengthen anti-money laundering and sanctions compliance
  • Create a joint SEC–CFTC advisory committee to align rules

The Senate Banking Committee released a “Myth vs. Fact” breakdown this week, pushing back on claims that the bill weakens investor protections or opens loopholes for bad actors. The committee argues the framework keeps fraud illegal, maintains SEC enforcement power, and introduces the strongest illicit finance controls Congress has considered for crypto.

It also says the bill does not criminalize developers or ban self-custody, and that it targets misconduct without stifling lawful innovation.

Stablecoin Yield Is the Pressure Point

The most explosive issue is stablecoin yield. The draft restricts activity-based payments with stablecoins, which only applies directly to exchanges that reward users for holding stablecoins on their platforms.

Banking lobby groups have lobbied hard for these limits, warning of deposit flight and risks to shadow banking. Crypto firms push back that the restrictions could hobble legitimate products and hinder adoption. This clash is among the biggest reasons the discussions are dragging on.

There’s the matter of DeFi lingo, as well. Critics worry the bill could push decentralized protocols that weren’t designed for this kind of compliance into these frames.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…

One Of Frank Sinatra’s Most Famous Albums Is Back In The Spotlight

One Of Frank Sinatra’s Most Famous Albums Is Back In The Spotlight

The post One Of Frank Sinatra’s Most Famous Albums Is Back In The Spotlight appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Frank Sinatra’s The World We Knew returns to the Jazz Albums and Traditional Jazz Albums charts, showing continued demand for his timeless music. Frank Sinatra performs on his TV special Frank Sinatra: A Man and his Music Bettmann Archive These days on the Billboard charts, Frank Sinatra’s music can always be found on the jazz-specific rankings. While the art he created when he was still working was pop at the time, and later classified as traditional pop, there is no such list for the latter format in America, and so his throwback projects and cuts appear on jazz lists instead. It’s on those charts where Sinatra rebounds this week, and one of his popular projects returns not to one, but two tallies at the same time, helping him increase the total amount of real estate he owns at the moment. Frank Sinatra’s The World We Knew Returns Sinatra’s The World We Knew is a top performer again, if only on the jazz lists. That set rebounds to No. 15 on the Traditional Jazz Albums chart and comes in at No. 20 on the all-encompassing Jazz Albums ranking after not appearing on either roster just last frame. The World We Knew’s All-Time Highs The World We Knew returns close to its all-time peak on both of those rosters. Sinatra’s classic has peaked at No. 11 on the Traditional Jazz Albums chart, just missing out on becoming another top 10 for the crooner. The set climbed all the way to No. 15 on the Jazz Albums tally and has now spent just under two months on the rosters. Frank Sinatra’s Album With Classic Hits Sinatra released The World We Knew in the summer of 1967. The title track, which on the album is actually known as “The World We Knew (Over and…
