Make the U.S. Home: Bessent Pushes for Swift Crypto Legislation

Without the Clarity Act, customers of bankrupt digital asset exchanges have no guaranteed right to their own assets.　　Instead, they are forced to join a creditor line alongside Wall Street firms and expensive lawyers. “They join a creditor line w/ other Wall Street firms and expensive lawyers and hope for the best. This is a consumer protection failure Congress must fix,” she said.　　Other political figures and commentators, such as Patrick Witt, have joined the chorus of voices advocating for greenlighting the bill.　　The current state of the Clarity Act　　The bill the U.S. House of Representatives with strong bipartisan support in July 2025. However, it has since stalled in the Senate due to a variety of factors (including the standoff between Coinbase and the banking sector).　　Recently, it took a major step forward, with the Senate Banking Committee finally marking up its version of the CLARITY Act in a 15-9 vote.　　With that being said, it is still unclear whether the bill will actually pass.

Sui Network Recovers After 6-Hour Mainnet Outage, SUI Drops 6.6% as P2P.org Launches Validator Data Stream

Tech　　Sui Network Recovers After 6-Hour Mainnet Outage, SUI Drops 6.6% as P2P.org Launches Validator Data Stream　　The Sui mainnet resumed full operations early Friday after a nearly six-hour halt triggered by a crash bug in the gas charging logic introduced through the layer-1s 1.72 release. Engineers identified the defect, rolled out a patch to validators, and confirmed that activity had restarted, while warning that a full incident review will follow in the coming days. Validators on the blockchain were still flagged with degraded performance even after the network came back online. The disruption marked the second multi-hour stall on Sui in 2026, raising fresh questions about the resilience of high-throughput layer-1 infrastructure that markets itself for institutional-grade settlement.　　The latest interruption is the second major downtime event for the network within five months, with the prior stall in January also lasting more than six hours. During Thursday‘s outage, the protocol failed to produce a new block for an extended window, with block explorers showing transaction processing paused while engineers worked on a fix. The network’s native token slid 5.4% in the 24-hour window, trading near $0.92 and underperforming Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other large-cap altcoins during the stall. The recurrence drew comparisons to

DTCC Stellar Deal: XLM vs XRP Misconception Explained

Tech　　DTCC Stellar Deal: XLM vs XRP Misconception Explained　　DTCC‘s Stellar Move Is Not XRP’s Exit — It May Be the Start of a Multi-Chain Financial System　　The between the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) and the Stellar Development Foundation has sparked immediate debate in crypto circles, with some rushing to frame it as a shift toward “XLM over XRP” in institutional markets.　　Realistically, this interpretation misses the bigger picture because DTCCs decision to enable tokenized DTC-held assets on the Stellar network does not necessarily signal that XRP or the XRP Ledger are being pushed aside.　　Instead, analysts increasingly believe the move reflects the emergence of a broader multi-chain financial architecture where different blockchain networks serve different institutional functions.　　DTCCs Blockchain Strategy Goes Beyond Stellar — Why XRP Still Matters　　According to OpenFind founder Tom, the market has become on the May 27 Stellar announcement while overlooking the wider sequence of events surrounding DTCCs blockchain strategy.　　The timeline tells a more complete story because on May 4, DTCC launched a that included Ripple participation.

WTI holds losses near $86.50 due to tentative US-Iran ceasefire extension

Finance　　WTI holds losses near $86.50 due to tentative US-Iran ceasefire extension　　West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil price loses ground for the third successive day, trading around $86.60 per barrel during the early European hours on Friday. Crude oil prices decline on easing supply concerns following reports of a tentative 60-day ceasefire extension between the United States (US) and Iran. This potential geopolitical breakthrough significantly raised prospects for unrestricted shipping through the critical Strait of Hormuz.　　According to reports, the agreement would require Iran to clear all maritime mines from the strategic waterway within 30 days. However, traders maintained a degree of caution following a CNN report indicating that US President Donald Trump has yet to officially approve the terms. This hesitation was echoed by Vice President JD Vance, who noted that while the parties are close to a deal, Washington is “not there yet,” while concurrently reminding markets that the US remains positioned to substantially set back Tehrans nuclear program if necessary.　　According to ING analysts cited by Reuters, while reopening the strait would offer some immediate relief to the oil market, a full recovery remains highly uncertain.
