With lawmakers on the US Senate Banking Committee set to consider a markup on a cryptocurrency market structure bill this week, some Democrats are holding the line — and potentially their votes — on ethics provisions. The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY), passed by the US House of Representatives in July 2025, is scheduled for a markup in the Banking Committee on Thursday after months of delays due to concerns about language on stablecoin yield, tokenized equities, ethics and more issues related to the crypto industry.

A new chart from Jameson Lopp has reopened one of Bitcoin’s oldest internal debates: whether visible node counts reflect real support for a rule change. The immediate flashpoint is BIP-110, a draft proposal that would temporarily impose much tighter consensus-level limits on non-monetary data, following Bitcoin Core 30’s loosening of the default OP_RETURN policy. Lopp says the node surge behind it may be Sybil-inflated (i.e., artificially boosted by a single actor running many nodes to simulate broader support). The node chart that started it Lopp shared a chart captioned “Spot the Sybil Attack” showing the BIP-110 signaling line rising sharply…

Ethereum continues facing strong selling pressure across global crypto markets. The $ETH price CAD remains under pressure after Ethereum lost nearly 26% this year. Many traders expected investors to reduce exposure after such a sharp correction. Instead, blockchain data now reveals a completely different story unfolding behind the scenes.

Investors continue locking millions of $ETH into staking contracts instead of selling during volatility. The rising staking activity also reduces Ethereum’s circulating supply significantly. The market now watches…
