"The changes people want" to the crypto bill right now "are not improvements; they're just tweaks," Lummis tells me.
"They're rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. Let's stop the chair rearranging."

News: Schumer has sent the White House two names each for the SEC and CFTC, people familiar with the move tell me, following months of finger-pointing over the empty seats as part of Senate negotiations over the crypto bill.
The nominees' identities remain unclear: "Nobody wants any of these nominees to get flamed before they get a fair chance," one person told me.
UPDATE: Russia's largest bank, Sberbank, plans to build crypto trading infrastructure by December 1 including a digital depository and active crypto wallet, following the State Duma's passage of a comprehensive crypto trading bill on July 21.

Ondo Finance’s SEC-registered broker-dealer subsidiary, Oasis Pro Markets, has secured regulatory authorization to offer tokenized equities and funds to U.S. investors under SEC and FINRA oversight.
Hundreds of millions of Americans and tens of thousands of U.S. financial institutions will soon be able to benefit from the 24/7 access, near-instant settlement, and fractional ownership that Ondo has already made available to billions outside the U.S. through tokenization.
Oasis Pro Markets can now offer compliant U.S. access, via OTC retailing, underwritten primary offerings, private placements and other activities, to tokenized:
→ Publicly traded equities, including in IPOs
→ Fund interests such as ETFs
→ Mutual funds and index funds
In addition, Oasis Pro Markets can support omnibus account structures through existing broker-dealer and advisory channels, which will enable institutional investors, registered investment advisors, and retirement accounts to access tokenized securities through their current brokers.
This is a landmark moment for tokenization and for the modernization of U.S. capital markets.
Ondo Finance pioneered the tokenization sector starting with U.S. Treasuries and Treasuries funds. It has continued to lead the way by tokenizing publicly listed U.S. stocks and ETFs issued by Ondo Stocks, which has received regulatory approval across key regions, including the EU, and expanded global access to U.S. capital markets. This led to Ondo Stocks becoming the largest tokenized securities platform, with over $20B in cumulative volume and $1B+ in tokenized stocks TVL, exceeding all other platforms combined.
Ondo brought Wall Street to the world through tokenization. Now, with regulatory approvals for Oasis Pro Markets secured, we’re built to bring tokenization to American investors, institutions, and capital markets.

quote: Crypto markets, long constrained by subdued volumes and range-bound trading, have regained momentum amid clear signals that Congress is nearing a breakthrough on digital-asset market structure. On July 21, Bitcoin advanced as much as 2.5 percent toward $67,000, while Ether gained up to 2.5 percent near $1,950.
Coinbase Global shares rose as much as 13 percent intraday, closing at $175.85. These moves occurred against a supportive backdrop in traditional markets, where the S&P 500 climbed 0.89 percent to 7,509.20, the Nasdaq Composite advanced 1.29 percent to 25,837.21, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.74 percent to 52,224.64, lifted partly by semiconductor and technology strength.
The immediate catalyst was Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s characterization of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act as having reached the “1-yard line,” coupled with his call for passage before the congressional recess.
The legislation, H.R. 3633, would establish a federal framework by assigning the Commodity Futures Trading Commission exclusive oversight of spot markets in digital commodities—blockchain-based assets that achieve decentralized control—while the Securities and Exchange Commission retains authority over investment-contract assets.
It also creates registration pathways for exchanges, brokers, and dealers, strengthens customer-asset protections, and addresses illicit-finance risks. The House approved the bill on July 17, 2025, by a bipartisan 294–134 margin; the Senate Banking Committee advanced it on May 14, 2026, by 15–9. Recent progress centers on ethics provisions governing public officials’ digital-asset interests, with reports of White House agreement that could enable a Senate floor vote ahead of the early-August recess.
This momentum builds on the GENIUS Act, signed into law in July 2025, which established the first federal regime for payment stablecoins, requiring one-to-one reserves in dollars or high-quality assets and imposing Bank Secrecy Act compliance.
Together the measures aim to reduce legal uncertainty that has driven activity offshore and limited institutional participation. Clearer rules would facilitate expanded custody, tokenized products, and secondary-market development beyond existing spot Bitcoin and Ether exchange-traded funds.
Macro conditions remain moderately restrictive. The Federal Open Market Committee has held the federal funds rate at 3.50–3.75 percent amid elevated inflation—personal-consumption-expenditures prices rose 4.1 percent year-over-year in May—while the unemployment rate eased to 4.2 percent in June and real GDP growth projections for 2026 center near 2.2 percent.
Markets expect no change at the July 29 meeting, though the probability of later-year rate increases has risen if inflation persists. In this setting, crypto’s high-beta response to regulatory clarity stands out after months of listless trading following late-2025 highs near $126,000 for Bitcoin and subsequent declines into the low-$60,000s. The recent rebound above $66,000, with monthly gains exceeding 10 percent into mid-July, underscores how credible legislative progress can independently support prices even when liquidity conditions remain tight.
Equity dynamics reinforce the point: technology and growth segments continue to benefit from artificial-intelligence demand, amplifying crypto-related moves.
Coinbase’s outsized advance highlights the sensitivity of listed intermediaries to reduced litigation risk and expanded institutional access. Successful enactment of the Clarity Act would represent the most significant U.S. crypto market-structure reform to date, potentially accelerating capital inflows and onshoring of activity.
Valuations will nonetheless continue to hinge on liquidity, on-chain fundamentals, and adoption trends. The coming weeks will determine whether the reported proximity to final passage produces durable statute or further delay, with corresponding implications for both digital and traditional risk assets. | Crypto markets are stirring after months of listless trading on signs that Washington is moving toward a clearer rulebook for digital assets. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-07-21/bitcoin-rallies-after-bessent-says-clarity-act-at-1-yard-line?taid=6a5fbbdb22b42c00015252a2&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_content=business&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter
