Coinbase Policy Chief Calls CLARITY Act a 'Dramatic Advance': Here's What Comes Next in the Senate

More Support Pours In　　Shirzad made the case for the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act in a Fox Business interview on Wednesday, describing the legislation as “a dramatic advance in consumer protection and market integrity.” The appearance that comes as the bill nears its decisive stretch is part of an intensifying industry push ahead of an expected Senate floor vote.　　The Coinbase executive called the bill a means of unlocking the exchanges next act, adding:　　CLARITY is the piece of legislation that gives us the regulatory certainty to offer those products to our customers. Theres an enormous move comprehensively across the financial system to move financial assets onchain.　　The Clarity Act would create the first comprehensive federal framework for digital assets, dividing regulatory responsibilities between the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). It addresses how assets are classified, what issuers must disclose, and how trading platforms register, questions that have been litigated piecemeal for a decade.　　The measure has been grinding through Congress for nearly a year. The House approved its version in July 2025, and the Senate Banking Committee advanced its draft by a 15-9 vote in May 2026. Negotiators released a merged text this week after roughly

Peter Brandt spots possible Bitcoin bottom as BTC stalls near $65K

Veteran trader Peter Brandt has identified a possible bottoming structure on Bitcoins chart after the cryptocurrency rebounded from its late-June lows. Brandt stressed that traders still lack enough evidence to confirm the setup.　　Bitcoin traded near $64,000 on July 16 after failing to hold above $65,000. It has recovered from below $58,000, but questions remain over whether spot demand can support a broader reversal.　　Brandt flags an unconventional Bitcoin bottom pattern　　In aJuly 16 post on X, Brandt said Bitcoins chart could be developing an inverted head-and-shoulders bottom. He described the structure as “VERY VERY UNCONVENTIONAL” and added, “We do $NOT know yet.”He presented the formation as an early possibility rather than a confirmed signal.　　VERY VERY UNCONVENTIONAL, but this chart could have the makings of an inverted H&S bottom.

Crypto equities gained 23% while crypto tokens fell 36% this year – Is value shifting？

Bitwise reported that publicly traded crypto companies gained 23% in the first half of 2026, while crypto assets fell 36%, creating a 59-percentage-point gap.　　Equities could be pricing in a recovery that sits above where the tokens currently trade, or they could also be capturing revenue crypto adoption generates for companies through fees, yield, and services that exist whether tokens rise, fall, or sit still.　　Across recent crypto cycles, crypto equities and major tokens have generally moved in the same direction. When Bitcoin and other large-cap assets rallied, exchanges earned more, miners expanded, venture funding returned, and much of the industry benefited.　　Whether that link still holds is one of the points Bitwises report raised.　　Bar chart showing crypto equities gained 23% in H1 2026 while crypto assets fell 36%, creating a 59-percentage-point gap.What the equity basket is made of　　Bitwises crypto-equity theme (BITQ) recently listed Coinbase, Strategy, IREN, BitMine, MARA, Galaxy, Figure, Cipher, Hut 8, and Riot among its top holdings.　　That mix spans fee-based platforms, Bitcoin treasury companies, and miners whose valuations remain highly sensitive to BTC, so the 23% gain compresses several distinct exposures into one figure.　　Stablecoins make the clearest case, as DeFiLlama puts the total stablecoin market cap near $310 billion, with

Securitize, Cantor target tokenized IPOs for public markets

Securitize and Cantor Fitzgerald have partnered to support blockchain-based initial public offerings (IPOs) and follow-on equity offerings for listed companies, a move that could further expand the use of tokenized securities in traditional capital markets.　　The companies said Wednesday that they are developing a framework for primary issuances that would allow companies to raise capital through tokenized securities while remaining within the existing regulatory framework for public offerings. The framework would support both IPOs and follow-on, or secondary, offerings in which already public companies issue additional shares to raise capital.　　Under the agreement, Securitize will provide the tokenization infrastructure used to issue, distribute and service the digital securities. Its SEC-registered broker-dealer affiliate, Securitize Markets, will participate in the offering and settlement process. Cantor will contribute its equity capital markets and trading capabilities typically associated with public offerings.　　The announcement comes as tokenized securities gain traction across traditional finance. While tokenization has largely focused on private credit and Treasurys, companies are increasingly exploring blockchain-based infrastructure for public equities as well.　　The collaboration builds on an existing relationship between the companies. Securitize, which provides blockchain infrastructure for tokenized real-world assets, went public through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) backed by Cantor Fitzgerald.　　Related:

UK FCA Registered Crypto Exchanges: What Happens If Your Exchange Isnt Approved

UK cryptocurrency regulation is entering a major shift in 2026, with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) requiring crypto exchanges to obtain full authorization. Starting 30 September 2026, UK crypto firms can apply for FCA approval, to operate legally.　　Unapproved platforms will face enforcement action, limited banking access, and potential criminal prosecution.

XRP Withdrawal Activity Hits 5-Month Extreme on Coinbase as Exchange Flows Turn Negative

$XRP users are increasingly moving tokens away from major cryptocurrency exchanges. 　　On-chain data shows that withdrawals are now exceeding deposits across Coinbase, Binance, and Bybit.　　According to CryptoQuant analyst Amr Taha, Coinbase recorded its strongest withdrawal-heavy seven-day period in about five months. Binance also returned to levels last seen in February.　　The shift points to a change in exchange-user behavior, although $XRPs price has remained mostly stable.　　Coinbase Sees Strongest Withdrawal Trend Since February　　Taha said Coinbase‘s seven-day net deposit/withdrawal transaction count fell to around -13,000 on July 15. This marked the exchange’s most negative reading since mid-February.　　The latest figure was lower than the approximately -12,300 recorded on Feb. 14. That represents a decline of about 700 transactions, or 5.7%, showing a wider gap between withdrawals and deposits than seen in recent months.　　The report added that Coinbase‘s current negative reading is about 2.3 times larger than Binance’s. This makes Coinbase the exchange with the strongest withdrawal bias among the three platforms.　　Binance Returns to February Levels as Bybit Undergoes Major Shift　　Binance also saw a significant drop in net transaction activity. Its seven-day reading declined to roughly -5,600 transactions, a level close to what was recorded on Feb. 11.　　Bybit experienced the biggest change in trend. Its

Ethereum price prediction: Can ETH hold $1,900 after $57.7M in whale buying？

Ethereum [$ETH] extended its recovery after buyers forced a decisive breakout above the $1,894.89 resistance zone. This breakout follows days of consolidation. Later on, the recovery accelerated toward $1,923.82, bringing the $1,940–$1,950 resistance zone into focus.　　Source: $ETH/USD on TradingView　　Notably, lower-than-expected U.S. inflation further strengthened the existing bullish momentum. This was by improving appetite for risk assets, reinforcing buyers already in control. The breakout also coincided with the largest green volume spike on the chart, confirming stronger participation behind the move.　　Thereafter, trading activity eased as bulls lost steam, with the price consolidating beneath resistance instead of reversing sharply. Meanwhile, the RSI held above 70 as of writing, showing momentum remained firmly with buyers despite the brief pause.　　This recovery implies bulls are attempting to establish $1,894.89 as new support, a development that would preserve the emerging higher-high, higher-low structure and keep the recovery intact.　　Short liquidations fuel Ethereum price　　Following Ethereums breakout, the attention shifted toward the liquidation clusters concentrated above current prices.　　The most significant level of leverage currently exists just above the present price at $1950. That cluster marks the magnet for further upside, extending the advance.　　Source: CoinGlass　　If buyers continue pushing higher, clearing that spot could trigger another wave of forced short liquidations.

Who is buying every Pi dip？ The 400M PI whale
