CFTC chair says agency will move forward on crypto regulation if CLARITY fails

Michael Selig, who chairs the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), signaled that the agency would not be idle while Congress continued to debate provisions in a cryptocurrency market structure bill.　　In prepared remarks for the inaugural meeting of the CFTCs Innovation Advisory Committee on Thursday, Selig said that the commission would move forward on crypto regulations even in the absence of the Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act being passed by lawmakers, adding it would “help [Donald Trump] deliver if Congress will not.” According to the chair, he had already directed staff to allow registered and non-registered entities to offer “crypto asset trading on a leveraged or margined basis” and explore developer protections.　　“We‘re going to give CLARITY its breathing room for a vote, but if the Democrats cannot support a bipartisan work product, which reflects compromises from both sides of the aisle, and ultimately send a fair version of the bill to the President’s desk, then rest assured, I will direct CFTC staff to move swiftly to propose these new rules for the industry,” said Selig.　　The market structure bill is effectively paused until the US Senate returns to session in September, when Majority Leader John Thune is expected to hold

Ray Dalio says to buy ‘a bit’ of Bitcoin amid potential debt crisis

The founder of the Bridgewater Associates hedge fund, Ray Dalio, called on investors to put money into gold and “a bit of Bitcoin” in response to a looming debt crisis.　　In a Friday LinkedIn post, Dalio said having between 10% to 15% of ones portfolio in gold could help reduce risk. He advocated for gold and Bitcoin (BTC) as assets to be overweight compared to debt assets like bonds, citing risks from “internal political and external geopolitical conflicts.”　　“My guess, which I suppose will be a bad one, is that [a US debt crisis] will come in three years, give or take two, if the course were on is not changed,” said Dalio.　　The Bridgewater Associates founder, with an estimated net worth of more than $15 billion, has previously argued that Bitcoin could not replace gold as a store of value and warned about privacy concerns and threats from quantum computing. His Friday comments echoed those from July 2025, when he said he held some, “but not much” Bitcoin, and recommended holding up to 15% in the cryptocurrency and gold.　　In 2022, months before a significant crypto market downturn, Dalio said that holding between 1% to 2% of BTC in ones portfolio was “reasonable.”　　Related:

Galaxy Research has said the SECs proposed Reg Crypto framework could give hundreds of existing tokens a formal route out of investment contract status.　　SummaryThe SEC expects about 475 issuers each year to use the proposed safe harbor.Galaxy said the exit process could matter more initially than the two fundraising exemptions.Reg Crypto would permit qualifying offerings of up to $5 million or $75 million.Public comments on the proposed rules are due by Oct. 20.　　Galaxy Research, in an Aug. 21 analysis, said the proposal could replace years of uncertainty over when an investment contract tied to a token ends with a filing and a recorded date.　　Alex Thorn, Galaxys head of firmwide research, said the first visible effect could be the resolution of securities-law questions surrounding tokens already in circulation, rather than a fresh wave of public token sales.　　The SEC estimated that about 475 issuers would file transition reports under the investment contract safe harbor each year. By comparison, the agency expects approximately 130 annual offerings across the proposals two new fundraising exemptions.　　According to Galaxy, the difference suggests that existing projects may have more immediate use for the exit process than new issuers have for the fundraising routes.　　“Reg Crypto could provide meaningful regulatory

Wylie said the adjusted figure provided a clearer view of the operating business, although the company‘s reported results remain closely tied to AVAX’s market value.　　You might also
