The Clarity Act would have cleared that up and also elevated the SEC’s sister agency, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, to new authorities — most importantly full supervisory powers over the crypto commodity spot markets. Spot markets are where commodities trade directly, and since bitcoin BTC$81,656.52 and Ethereum’s ether ETH$2,643.82 were eventually determined to be commodities, it became clear the bulk of crypto trading happens in that space that’s absent a hands-on regulator (except in situations in which bad guys are manipulating the markets).This conflict is uniquely American, because the U.S.’ regulatory regime developed completely separate securities and derivatives agencies,…

Prior to the crossover, Bitcoin surged from about $63,000 to over $80,000. Because of this, the current price structure is more significant than the actual cross. Is…

“What a shift from four years ago,” Alex Cutler, co-founder of Aerodrome, said in an interview the morning the order was posted. Aerodrome is the largest decentralized exchange on Coinbase’s Base blockchain and the venue where Coinbase’s own tokenized stocks got their first liquidity in August. “This looks like they’re just dipping their toes in. But if you think back three, four years, I mean this is just incredible to see coming out of the US regulator. They know what AMMs are. That’s awesome.” What is already trading Coinbase put tokenized Apple, Nvidia, Meta and Alphabet shares on Base on…

It said LayerZero Labs failed to transfer a production authorization to the Commission and did not maintain proper control of a critical private key tied to a live FRNT deployment. The Commission ultimately concluded that LayerZero no longer met the security standards required for infrastructure supporting a state backed digital asset.

Today you mainly have to add a network yourself in two cases: with new chains that your wallet does not yet know, and with smaller chains, for instance a dedicated chain for a particular ecosystem such as ApeChain.

At $79,200, Bitcoin was approximately 37% below the record above $125,600 reached in October 2025.
