Digital asset treasury companies have come under fresh pressure as the crypto market slump has pushed major bitcoin, ether, and Solana holders into large unrealized losses. Artemis data shows that Hyperliquid-focused treasury firms are the only major group still holding meaningful paper gains, even after $HYPE pulled back from its record high above $74 earlier this week.

Companies built around bitcoin, ether, and Solana reserves are carrying billions of dollars in…

One Year Later, the CLARITY Act Remains Unfinished One year after the House passed the CLARITY Act, the central question is whether bipartisan support can produce a durable digital asset framework before another year of uncertainty passes. Senate passage could establish clearer rules, strengthen consumer protections, and give financial institutions greater confidence to participate. Continued delay could leave exchanges, developers, and investors facing unresolved questions over asset classification, registration, and federal oversight. House lawmakers marked the anniversary with a July 17 hearing at Federal Hall National Memorial in New York City titled “Building the Future of Finance: How the CLARITY…

World said the investment comes as it shifts from…

In brief Zcash plummeted in price following the disclosure of a critical, four-year-old vulnerability. Because of Zcash’s privacy features, the bug’s scope couldn’t definitively be determined in terms of counterfeit coins. Some said tradeoffs between privacy and auditability are “part of the deal,” pointing to bugs patched in years past. Shielding funds from prying eyes has long been Zcash’s forte, but investors’ unease on Friday indicated that the privacy coin’s core feature can also resemble an Achilles’ heel. Following the disclosure of a bug that had the potential to unleash a wave of counterfeit coins, Zcash tanked to its lowest…

The renewed appearance followed a June 25 campaign that sent the branded vehicle through Washington, D.C., carrying the message “On the road to Clarity.” The truck displayed Ripple’s…
