The CLARITY Act was absent from the U.S. Senate’s published schedule for Monday, Aug. 3, leaving lawmakers with only days to begin floor proceedings before the chamber’s summer break.

The 30-day demand for Bitcoin [$BTC] is on the way back up after the extreme drop in demand it experienced due to its recent price decline. The metric has now turned positive near 25,000 $BTC, reversing from deeply negative levels recorded around June. That trend indicates that capital is returning, even if demand still isn’t as high as we’ve seen during prior recovery periods. More importantly, it appears derivatives are doing most of the heavy lifting currently. Still, there may be an environment developing where we could see something like what occurred in May’s move to $82,000. Source: CryptoQuant Normally,…

According to Vidal, Dogecoin largely incentivizes merge mining; however, it does not have independent mining. He argues that as a result, its security is tied to another network, in this case Litecoin. “Should Dogecoin ultimately be able to secure itself, or should it always depend on Litecoin?” Vidal asked. Engaging with Vidal’s post, a Dogecoin developer who goes by “junior developer” with X handle “Chromatic X” maintained a different view, pushing back on the…
