a16z Crypto: A Guide to the CLARITY Act for Crypto Entrepreneurs

The CLARITY Act, a bipartisan crypto market structure bill, has advanced through the Senate Banking Committee, marking a potential historic shift in U.S. digital asset regulation. For years, a lack of clear rules has stifled innovation, pushed development overseas, and exposed consumers to risk. This bill aims to establish a comprehensive framework, providing long-needed regulatory clarity for blockchain networks and digital assets. It builds upon previous legislative efforts like FIT21 and the House version of CLARITY, which gained strong bipartisan support. CLARITY is crucial because it recognizes that blockchain networks are fundamentally different from traditional companies. Networks operate through decentralized, shared rules rather than centralized control. Applying corporate legal frameworks to networks forces them into a centralized model, concentrating power and value. In contrast, decentralized blockchain networks can function as user-owned public infrastructure, distributing value more equitably among participants. The bill seeks to enable the safe launch of networks in the U.S., clarify regulatory jurisdiction between the SEC and CFTC, oversee crypto exchanges, and enhance consumer protections. Its passage would align U.S. law with the nature of decentralized technology, allowing builders to operate transparently and fund projects domestically without structural compromises due to regulatory uncertainty. Similar to the positive impact seen after the stablecoin-focused GENIUS Act, CLARITY could unlock a new wave of innovation, helping the U.S. reclaim leadership in the crypto space while combating fraud and abuse.

Farage’s $6.7M Crypto-Linked Gift Raises Eyebrows After $1.8M Home Acquisition

A parliamentary ethics probe is examining Nigel Farage, leader of the UK's Reform Party, following reports he purchased a $1.8 million property weeks before entering office. The purchase was facilitated by a $6.7 million personal gift from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne. Farage argues no rules were broken as the gift was received before he became an MP, but critics contend it should have been declared. The case occurs amid broader UK political concerns about cryptocurrency donations, with a legislative proposal to temporarily ban them currently under consideration. Farage and his party oppose such a ban.

Hyperliquid Policy Center Responds To ICE, CME’s Regulatory Pressure Push

Hyperliquid's policy center has responded to a regulatory push by major traditional exchanges CME and ICE, who are lobbying the CFTC to require the decentralized exchange to register. The exchanges expressed concerns that Hyperliquid's anonymous trading model and growing volume could allow market manipulation and affect price discovery in key industries like oil. Their primary demand is for Hyperliquid to register with the CFTC, which would mandate customer identification and trade surveillance. The Hyperliquid Policy Center, led by CEO Jake Chervinsky, publicly countered these claims as "unfounded." It argued that Hyperliquid's fully on-chain, real-time transaction record offers greater transparency than traditional venues, creating an "anti-manipulation shield" and providing clear data for regulators. The policy center also highlighted benefits like 24/7 trading, which reduces price gaps seen in traditional markets. While acknowledging that U.S. law isn't yet tailored for on-chain derivatives, the group pledged to continue engaging with policymakers. Some reports suggest CME's lobbying may be self-interested, coinciding with its own plans to expand 24/7 crypto trading products.

Bank Of England To Ease ‘Overly Conservative’ Stablecoin Rules After Industry Backlash – Report

The Bank of England (BoE) plans to relax its proposed "overly conservative" regulations for stablecoins after facing criticism from the crypto industry and lawmakers. Deputy Governor Sarah Breeden acknowledged the initial proposals, including temporary ownership caps and a rule requiring stablecoin issuers to hold 40% of reserves as non-interest-bearing deposits at the central bank, may be too restrictive and operationally cumbersome. The industry argued the caps would be impractical and harm the UK's competitiveness. Breeden stated the BoE is now exploring alternative ways to ensure the safety of this new form of money while allowing stablecoins to succeed and benefit users.

CLARITY Bill Still Unsettled, Caught Up in U.S. Bipartisan Political Game

The U.S. Senate Banking Committee voted 15-9 to advance the CLARITY Act for a full Senate vote, overcoming a key industry compromise on stablecoin rewards. However, the legislation faces significant political hurdles as it moves forward. The vote fell largely along party lines, with all 13 Republican committee members voting in favor and only two Democrats—Ruben Gallego and Angela Alsobrooks—joining them. Both Democrats indicated their support was conditional to keep debate alive and could be withdrawn later. The path to final passage in the full Senate remains difficult. The bill requires 60 votes to pass. With a current 53-47 Republican majority, this means at least 7 Democratic votes are needed, assuming no Republican defections. The narrow, partisan committee vote suggests securing that level of bipartisan support will be challenging. During the committee process, Democrats pushed for numerous amendments, including a key ethics provision to restrict top government officials' financial ties to the crypto industry. Republicans used their majority to block these amendments, leaving core Democratic concerns unaddressed. These issues, particularly around anti-money laundering and ethics, are expected to resurface as major points of contention during the full Senate debate. Republicans are pushing for a swift Senate vote, ideally before the July 4 recess and the upcoming election season, fearing that a shift in congressional power after the next election could jeopardize the bill's future. However, given the current political stalemate and Democratic demands for concessions, the act's prospects for becoming law in 2026 are uncertain.

Law Firm Behind FTX Legal Work Now Facing $525M Suit

A federal lawsuit seeks $525 million from Silicon Valley law firm Fenwick & West for its alleged central role in facilitating FTX's fraud. A bankruptcy examiner found the firm "deeply intertwined" in FTX's wrongdoing, creating shell companies like North Dimension to funnel over $3 billion, drafting backdated agreements, and implementing FTX's auto-delete messaging policy on Signal. The suit, filed by 20 international victims, claims Fenwick's involvement lent FTX false legitimacy, preventing investors from withdrawing savings. It cites former FTX engineer Nishad Singh, who testified he directly told Fenwick attorneys about misuse of customer funds, after which the firm allegedly advised on concealment. The complaint includes claims of malpractice and fraud, targeting both the firm and two individual partners. This follows the recent rejection of Sam Bankman-Fried's bid for a new trial.

CLARITY Act Passes Crucial Hurdle, But a Long Road Remains Ahead

The CLARITY Act, a major U.S. digital asset market structure bill, has advanced from the Senate Banking Committee with a 15-9 bipartisan vote, ending a four-month legislative standstill. The bill's core aim is to resolve the long-standing jurisdictional conflict between the SEC and CFTC by clearly defining which digital assets are securities or commodities. It also establishes rules for exchanges and custodians while providing protections for non-custodial software developers and blockchain validators, shielding them from being classified as money transmitters. The committee's approval triggered a positive market reaction, with Bitcoin rising and crypto-related stocks outperforming the broader market. However, the passage was secured only after last-minute negotiations and compromises, including the addition of amendments on investor protection, bank activities, and defining "truly decentralized" DeFi projects. Two key Democratic senators provided the crucial swing votes but cautioned that their future support in a full Senate vote is not guaranteed. Significant hurdles remain. The bill must still pass the full Senate, requiring 60 votes, and a major point of contention is a Democratic demand for an ethics clause restricting financial ties between high-level government officials and crypto firms—a provision opposed by Republicans and the White House. Additionally, the bill must be reconciled with a version from the Senate Agriculture Committee. If not passed before the August congressional recess, the next viable legislative window might not open until 2030. The legislation also faced, and ultimately withstood, last-minute lobbying opposition from traditional banking groups concerned about deposit outflows to crypto. If ultimately enacted, the CLARITY Act would initiate a multi-year rulemaking process, with new regulations likely not taking full effect until 2027 or later. While a critical milestone, the path to becoming law remains a challenging race against time.

Trump Executed 3,600 Stock Trades in Q1, Bought Nvidia, Dell, Then Made a 'Stock Tip,' Sparking Conflict-of-Interest Controversy

Former President Donald Trump executed 3,642 individual stock trades in Q1 2026, averaging about 60 trades per day, according to a recent OGE 278-T disclosure. This breaks from the modern presidential tradition of using blind trusts. The filings reveal Trump sold large positions in Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft while making significant new purchases in AI and semiconductor firms like NVIDIA, Broadcom, and Intel. Notably, he bought $1-5 million worth of Dell stock on February 10. Three months later, on May 8, he publicly urged Americans to "buy Dell" at a White House event; the stock has since risen 96%. His Intel purchases began in early March, after which the stock surged 150%. The U.S. government had taken a 9.9% stake in Intel in August 2025. These transactions, occurring close to related policy actions or public endorsements, have ignited significant controversy over potential conflicts of interest. While the White House maintains full compliance with the STOCK Act, critics highlight the unprecedented scale of trading and the timing coinciding with his official duties and donors' interests.

Crypto May Be Loud Online, But Only 4% Of Voters Care: Poll

A Politico survey reveals a stark disconnect between crypto industry lobbying and U.S. voter priorities. While crypto groups have spent over $130 million on the 2024 elections, only 4% of voters say a candidate's position on crypto would influence their vote. Affordable housing, consumer fraud protection, and lower bank fees rank as far more important issues for voters. The poll also shows public ambivalence toward digital assets. Only 27% support government efforts to make crypto mainstream, while 31% oppose it. Over half of respondents have never traded crypto and don't plan to. Among those who have traded, 7% say a candidate's stance would sway their vote. Furthermore, 45% view crypto investing as a risk not worth taking. Despite low voter interest, Congress is advancing crypto regulation. The Senate Banking Committee is set to vote on a regulatory framework bill, a version of which already passed the House in June.

Crypto Billionaire’s $7M Gift Puts UK Reform Leader Under Ethics Spotlight

UK Reform Party leader Nigel Farage is under investigation by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards for allegedly failing to properly declare a £5 million ($6.7 million) gift from cryptocurrency billionaire Christopher Harborne. The donation, made in early 2024 before Farage's election to Parliament, is under scrutiny as MPs must register significant benefits received in the 12 months prior to their election. Farage claims the money was a private, unconditional gift for personal security costs. Opposition parties, including the Conservatives who filed the complaint, are demanding transparency. This follows a prior late registration of interests by Farage, which was deemed accidental. The inquiry could result in outcomes ranging from an apology to suspension from Parliament.
