Cynthia Lummis called the pre-recess failure disappointing and frustrating.Ethics restrictions and stablecoin rewards remain unresolved as the bill seeks 60 Senate votes.Polymarket traders give CLARITY a 25% chance of becoming law during 2026.  CLARITY Act faces a Sept. 15 procedural vote  Senate Majority Leader John Thune filed cloture on the motion to proceed to the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act shortly before the Senate began its month-long recess, according to the Senate Daily Press.  The filing positions the legislation for an initial procedural test after senators return to Washington on Sept. 14. The cloture motion is scheduled to ripen on Sept. 15, according to previous crypto.news coverage.  The vote would determine whether the Senate begins formally considering the bill. It would not amount to final passage.  CLARITY would still need to move through debate and possible amendments before receiving a separate approval vote.

CFTC Polymarket case paused over soldiers $400K bets

A federal judge has paused the CFTC‘s civil case against a US Army soldier accused of using classified information to earn more than $400,000 from Polymarket contracts tied to Nicolás Maduro’s removal.  SummaryJudge Andrew Carter stayed the CFTCs civil enforcement caseuntil the related criminal proceeding concludes.Prosecutors allege Gannon Van Dyke earned about $409,881from 13 Venezuela-related Polymarket trades.Van Dyke pleaded not guilty and has challenged whether the event contracts legally qualify as swaps.The prosecution could shape how US commodities and fraud laws apply to prediction-market insider trading.  CFTC case paused until criminal proceedings conclude  US District Judge Andrew Carter granted prosecutors‘ request on Aug. 10 to stay the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s civil case against Gannon Ken Van Dyke, an active-duty US Army Special Forces master sergeant.  The civil proceeding will remain paused while the Justice Department pursues its criminal case over substantially the same alleged conduct. Prosecutors asked for the stay in July, arguing that allowing both matters to advance could create complications because they involve overlapping evidence, witnesses, and legal questions.  Van Dyke opposed the request and sought to defend both cases at the same time. Carter nevertheless concluded that pausing the civil action pending the criminal case was appropriate.

ONDO faces fresh $1.4M Coinbase supply: Can exchange outflows protect $0.345?

Ondo [$ONDO] faced renewed supply concerns after its team-linked wallet deposited 4.019 million tokens worth roughly $1.4 million into Coinbase.  The wallet had received 20 million $ONDO one day before making the exchange-bound transfer. Part of that newly received allocation moved directly into an environment where holders could access market liquidity.  However, the transaction did not confirm a sale, since exchange deposits alone cannot establish the wallets eventual action. The wallet also retained most of the 20 million $ONDO allocation after transferring only 4.019 million tokens.  Still, the Coinbase destination increased the relevance of the movement for $ONDOs near-term exchange supply.  Broader market flows presented a different picture, however, with exchange withdrawals continuing to offset incoming supply.  $1.09 million outflows counter fresh supply  Broader $ONDO flows had leaned toward withdrawals, creating a notable contrast with the team-linked Coinbase deposit.  Spot netflows reached approximately -$1.09 million on the 9th of August, meaning withdrawals exceeded exchange inflows during that session.  The latest $1.4 million team-linked deposit, however, exceeded August 9s net outflow in nominal value.  Yet, sustained negative netflows could gradually absorb additional exchange-bound supply if withdrawals continued across subsequent sessions. The balance, therefore, depends on persistence rather than a single daily reading.  Source: CoinGlassCan the 0.618 Fib protect $ONDO?  $ONDO had retraced

BTCPay Server supporters offer up to 3 BTC for recovery bounty after critical exploit

Quick TakeBTCPay supporters committed to a recovery bounty of 10% of recovered funds, capped at 3 BTC for full recovery.A critical vulnerability in BTCPay versions before 2.4.2 allowed attackers to obtain LND admin macaroon credentials, enabling control of connected wallets and nodes, BTCPay disclosed on Monday.  Supporters of BTCPay Server, the open-source bitcoin payments processor that recently disclosed an exploit, have committed to supporting a recovery bounty of 10% of any funds recovered, capped at 3 BTC for full recovery, according to an announcement on Monday.  BTCPay Server announced on Friday that a critical vulnerability was being actively exploited and urged users to update their servers to version 2.4.2. In a security advisory, the firm noted that all BTCPay versions “prior to 2.4.2, including 2.4.2 release candidates” were vulnerable to the attack.  “The vulnerability allowed an attacker to obtain LND admin macaroon credentials from affected instances and use them to access connected LND wallets,” the project wrote on X.  In other words, a security flaw let attackers steal the master access keys from certain Bitcoin payment servers, giving them full control over any linked Lightning wallets. A Lightning macaroon is a digital authentication token and credential file used by bitcoin nodes.  “Users of other Lightning

Bitwise CIO: Bitcoin to End Year 'Significantly Higher'

Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan expects Bitcoin to finish the year significantly higher.  Ethereum Price Analysis  “Bad news has stopped moving the market, Hougan said. ”The sellers are gone. When bad news stops moving the market, that marks the bottom, he added.  Hougan also argued that institutional exposure to Bitcoin has continued to grow.  According to the Bitwise executive, the amount of Bitcoin allocated by institutions under a conventional 1% portfolio-allocation framework has effectively risen to between 4% and 5%.  Bitcoins largest holders are accumulating again  In the meantime, data from blockchain analytics platform Santiment shows that the number of wallets holding at least 10,000 BTC is rebounding to a six-month high.  According to Santiment, 90 wallets now hold at least 10,000 BTC, representing a net increase of six such wallets over the past eight weeks, or a 7.1% rise.  At the same time, smaller wallets have been losing their share of Bitcoins supply during August. Santiment attributed some of the resulting retail pessimism to concerns surrounding the recent Coldcard hacks and delays surrounding the Clarity Act.  Bitcoin supply is increasingly moving toward its largest holders, as the data shows.

This BTC cohort has the fastest accumulation rate in 2026

The $BTC cohort holding over 10,000 $BTC in their wallets is the most active buyer in the summer of 2026. Almost all other wallet cohorts remain idle after the initial rush to accumulate in January.   The biggest $BTC wallets, holding over 10,000 $BTC, may belong to organizations, ETFs, or the occasional whale. This cohort is closely watched for a sign of an end to the $BTC bear market. The cohort of the largest whales also showed accelerated accumulation in the past few weeks, just as $BTC recovered close to $65,000.  For the past two months, the addresses holding over 10,000 $BTC accumulated a net 46,420 $BTC, their highest level since March 15. This group of whales also broke its record from March, when large wallets added 23,238 $BTC.  $BTC whale wallets with over 10,000 coins entered a period of net accumulation in July and August, while other cohorts are still distributing. | Source: Cryptoquant  At the same time, retail wallets entered a period of distribution. The smallest holders of 0.1 to 1 $BTC distributed 9,700 coins net. This cohort is volatile, often swinging wildly between accumulation and distribution. As of August, small-scale holders are decreasing their exposure, while the top whales are generating

Hidden Text in PDFs Is Hijacking This AI Assistant

In briefSecurity company PromptArmor says the Rovo AI assistant can be steered to exfiltrate data with no human approval, via hidden instructions in an uploaded file, like PDFs.The trick works even when an org disables Rovos web search, because the URL-opening tool stays live.Atlassian, the maker of Rovo, got the report on May 23 and went quiet; two months on, Rovo “remains vulnerable,” the security firm says.  Remember when black-hat SEOs stuffed web pages with white-on-white keywords—invisible to readers, readable to Google—to game the search rankings? Hackers are doing the same thing with AI models now. The attacker hides instructions inside a PDF document, the model cant tell the difference between the users words and the planted ones, and it obeys.  Per PromptArmors disclosure, Rovo—Atlassians agent that reaches across Jira, Confluence, and the rest of your workspace—can be turned into a data pipeline with a single poisoned file. A victim asks Rovo to organize some tickets, uploads a document, and the document is carrying a concealed prompt (for example an instruction written in transparent color and a font at 1pixel in size).  The eye can‘t see it, but an Agent recognizes that text as another text in the document. That prompt tells Rovo
