Coinbase’s CLO, Paul Grewal, has reacted to the recent Clarity Act endorsement from the National Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), a major law enforcement group. Upon hearing the news about the group endorsing the latest version of the bill, Grewal questioned the Senate’s standing on the matter. Grewal calls Senate to action Grewal’s post came after Eleanor Terrett, an American crypto reporter, shared news about the FOP, one of the law enforcement groups involved in negotiations over the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA), publicly supporting the latest version of the Clarity bill. In his statement, Grewal asked whether the Senate…

Bitcoin (BTC) could decline to as low as $38,500 by October 2026 if historical bear market patterns continue to repeat, according to an analysis by TradingShot. The forecast is based on Bitcoin’s behavior during previous bear market bottoms and its relationship with long-term exponential moving averages (EMAs).

Sei Labs introduced SIP-5, a governance proposal that allows existing accounts to adopt quantum-resistant cryptography without changing wallet addresses, balances, or transaction history. The framework aims to preserve compatibility while improving long-term security. The proposal arrives years before quantum computers pose a practical threat, giving developers, wallets, and users ample time to prepare rather than rushing a network-wide upgrade. SIP-5 recognizes current performance trade-offs tied to post-quantum cryptography while encouraging further research into faster signature schemes that could protect blockchain networks without sacrificing efficiency. Quantum computing remains an emerging technology, but Sei Labs believes blockchain networks should begin preparing before…
In an unexpected turn of events, Vietnam unveiled one of its strictest frameworks for regulating cryptocurrencies to date. This does not imply that cryptos are prohibited in Vietnam though. On the contrary, it means that the nation is altering the manner and location of their trade. For context, Vietnam lacked a fully regulated domestic cryptocurrency market. In fact, the majority of its users have up until now relied on international exchanges like Binance, Bybit, OKX, or other offshore platforms. Thanks to the recently issued decree (Decree No. 284/2026/NĐ-CP), the government hopes that trading will move from these foreign platforms to…
On July 24, the Commodity Futures and Trading Commission (CFTC) announced that it is granting a no-action relief to Small Exchange, which is owned by Kraken, regarding its Designated Contract Market procedures. This no-action letter will grant the platform more flexibility to restart its regulated derivatives trading. In a letter issued on July 24, CFTC staff granted temporary relief from dormant DCM rules for Small Exchange. Kraken’s parent company, Payward, had acquired Small Exchange in late 2025. However, it had been inactive for more than a year. Without this relief, it would have been dormant and had to go through…
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has reignited debate across the crypto industry after declaring that Cardano could eventually surpass Bitcoin. In a recent commentary, Hoskinson argued that sustained investment and community support could help Cardano achieve the milestone of overtaking Bitcoin. In his view, continued ecosystem growth would strengthen Cardano’s long-term position in the digital asset market. This is not the first time Hoskinson has expressed such optimism. In April, he stated that he wanted to help Cardano win and potentially push $ADA to the top spot on CoinMarketCap. Although he did not explicitly mention Bitcoin at the time, achieving the…
Bolivia is considering adding Tether’s $USDT stablecoin to its national payments system, marking another step in the country’s shift from banning crypto transactions to allowing regulated digital asset use. Economy Minister José Gabriel Espinoza said at a press conference on Monday that the government is evaluating whether $USDT could circulate alongside the boliviano, the country’s fiat currency, and the U.S. dollar. The proposal remains under technical review and the government has not published implementation rules or granted the stablecoin legal-tender status, local news outlet La Razón reported. Officials are developing a framework for banks, digital wallets and payment providers, according…
