Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong gets behind CLARITY Act ahead of Thursday markup

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong is supporting the latest version of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY) ahead of the US Senates markup of the crypto market structure bill on Thursday.　　“I dont think its ever been in a stronger or more bipartisan position,” he said about the latest iteration of the market structure bill.　　Armstrong said that the banking and crypto industry lobbies have reached a “healthy compromise” on stablecoin yield, which was one of the main issues that stalled the market structure bill in January. He added:　　“I think there was a healthy compromise there, brokered by Senators Tillis and Alsobrooks. And you know, it was a good compromise because both sides left a little bit unhappy, but at least we got to a place that we can all live with.”　　The latest version of the CLARITY bill also improved provisions surrounding decentralized finance (DeFi), tokenized stocks, and the authority of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to regulate crypto markets, he said.　　Source: Brian Armstrong　　The comments and the bills pending markup follow months of back-and-forth negotiations between the banking sector and the crypto industry over the bill, which stalled in January 2025 after crypto industry players, led by Coinbase, rejected the initial

First US Hyperliquid ETF (THYP) Sees $1.2M Inflows on Launch

The first Hyperliquid exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the United States, launched by crypto asset manager 21Shares, recorded $1.2 million in net inflows and $1.8 million in trading volume on its debut day, according to data from May 13, 2026. Trading on the Nasdaq under the ticker THYP, the fund aims to track the spot price of the Hyperliquid (HYPE) token, which powers a perpetual futures platform with over $8.4 trillion in trading volume since its 2023 launch.　　While the inflows were notable for an ETF debut, they pale in comparison to earlier crypto ETF launches. The Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) and the Canary XRP ETF (XRPC) both recorded opening-day volumes exceeding $56 million in late 2025. Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart described THYPs debut as “better than your average ETF launch for sure but nothing too crazy.”　　THYP‘s competitive edge lies in its relatively low 0.3% management fee, undercutting Bitwise’s proposed 0.67% fee for its upcoming Hyperliquid Staking ETF (BHYP). Grayscale, another major player in the crypto ETF space, is also awaiting regulatory approval for its Grayscale HYPE ETF (GHYP), although pricing details for that product remain undisclosed.　　The launch of THYP comes amid a regulatory shift in the U.S. Securities and

IQ, which created KRWQ with Frax, said the rollout targets more than $100 billion in combined daily KRW spot and offshore derivatives activity.　　A Korean Won Market moves On-Chain　　Basically, KRWQ is designed to maintain a 1:1 peg with the South Korean won. It first launched last October on Base as the first Korean won-denominated stablecoin on that network.　　The asset later expanded across multiple chains using LayerZeros interoperability framework. That structure was built to reduce fragmented liquidity across separate blockchain ecosystems.　　Its latest deployment, however, brings KRWQ into Solana‘s trading stack, where low-latency settlement can support more active markets.

Charles Schwab rolls out spot Bitcoin and Ethereum trading for retail clients

Charles Schwab, the brokerage managing over $12 trillion in client assets, launched direct spot Bitcoin and Ethereum trading for its retail clients on May 13. The new platform, called Schwab Crypto, charges a 0.75% trading fee and is powered by Paxos alongside Schwab Premier Bank.　　Look, when a firm this size decides to let millions of everyday investors buy actual Bitcoin from the same account where they hold their index funds, that‘s not a product launch. That’s a structural shift in how America interacts with digital assets.　　The fee war heats up　　Schwabs 0.75% fee slots neatly between its two biggest competitors. Fidelity charges 1% for direct crypto purchases, while E*TRADE offers a leaner 0.50% rate for Bitcoin and Ethereum trades.　　In English: Schwab is undercutting the largest crypto-friendly brokerage by 25 basis points, while positioning itself as the premium option compared to E*TRADEs discount approach. The classic Goldilocks strategy.　　The pricing is aggressive enough to matter. For a $10,000 Bitcoin purchase, a Schwab client pays $75 in fees versus $100 at Fidelity. That $25 difference won‘t change anyone’s life, but multiply it across millions of transactions from Schwabs massive client base and you start to understand why Fidelity might need to revisit its fee
