🚀 Crypto legislation in the United States: Political split or historical chance?
At the TOKEN2049 conference, a heated discussion broke out about the future of the U.S. regulatory framework. Former Governor of New York State Andrew Cuomo voiced an alarming trend: the cryptocurrency industry risks becoming a hostage of the party struggle. 📊 Lobbying figures in 2026 speak for themselves: 🔴 Republicans: $54.3 million of support from the crypto industry 🔵 Democrats: $26.2 million According to Cuomo, such a clear bias towards the Republicans repels the Democrats - and it is their votes that are critically necessary for the passage of key bills through Congress. ⚠️ Regulatory vacuum continues The main victim of party disagreements is the CLARITY Law, a long-awaited document designed to clearly divide powers between the SEC and the CFTC and give the market transparent rules of the game. Chairman of the Finance Committee of the House of Representatives French Hill admitted: point decisions of the SEC and CFTC will not replace a full-fledged legislative framework. Voting on the CLARITY Act has now been postponed until the "lame duck" session (the period of Congress after the elections). 🔥 What does this mean for the market? While politicians share influence, a two-party consensus is vital for the crypto industry. Without the support of both parties, the adoption of large-scale reforms will remain in question, and the market will have to work in conditions of uncertainty. $BNB $XRP $ETH
$SUI 📱 Crypto payments go to the mass market: Samsung Wallet integrates USDC
The crypt takes a huge step towards everyday use. Samsung plans to launch transfers in the USDC stablecoin through its branded Samsung Wallet service in the United States.
🔑 The main thing about the partnership:
Coverage: Potential audience - about 82 million Galaxy devices.
Network: Integration uses USDC on the Sui blockchain.
No friction: Transfers will be without gas commission (gasless), which completely removes the barrier for users who are not familiar with blockchain mechanics.
The day drew a dense green pillar: rose to $0.5759 (+18% per day), and on a good volume - scrolled more than 7 million USDT. What is important: they crossed the heavy MA(99) in the region of $0.5571.
How I look at the situation:
The impulse is strong, but RSI(6) has already accelerated to 77, so it's dangerous to go at the very top - we can cool down locally.
Where to get the profit:
The first local take asks for around $0.62.
If we break through this bar and fix it, the next logical level is $0.68, and then the range of $0.75-$0.80 is just a stone's throw. It is logical to put a stop below the level of the failure - somewhere under $0.5380, and if the position is more long-term, then for MA(7)/MA(25) in the region of $0.4950.
🛢️ Oil is above $100, geopolitics is boiling, and bitcoin is under pressure: what's going on in the markets?
The degree on the world stage has heated up to the limit. The escalation of the confrontation between the United States and Iran, the Pentagon's order to prepare options for large-scale strikes and Houthi attacks on Saudi airports have pushed WTI oil above $100 per barrel - to the highest values in recent years.
🚨 How did it hit the crypto market?
The jump in energy prices instantly fueled fears about a new wave of inflation. In combination with the "hawkish" signals of the Fed and the rapid growth of bond yields, the market has overwhelmed the classic Risk-Off regime:
📉 BTC has sashed to $82,734, while investors fix profits and are transferred to less risky assets.
💡 What do traders need to consider?
Macroeconomics and geopolitics are now the main price guides. As long as oil puts pressure on inflation expectations, and regulators hint at a tight monetary policy, volatility will be off the charts.
At such moments, compliance with risks, a cool head and the ability to correctly set stop losses are decided.
🤖 AI against cryptography: Vitalik Buterin about the future of multi-sig security!
The co-founder of Ethereum offered a new look at the protection of multisignatures (Multisig). In his opinion, ideally, signers should change the key after each transaction.
🔑 What's the reason?
Rapid progress in the field of artificial intelligence raises new questions about the resilience of the classic ECDSA encryption algorithm, on which most modern blockchains are based.
📌 Main theses:
Disposable keys: Regular rotation of keys minimizes the risk of their compromise.
Challenge from AI: The growth of computational and analytical capabilities of AI forces us to revise the usual cybersecurity standards.
The main advice: Vitalik separately emphasized: "Don't rush." This is a conceptual vector of development for the future, and not a reason for emergency actions right now.

⚡ Fed Protocol: The rate has increased, but the markets do not believe in the continuation!
The Fed under the leadership of Kevin Worsh unanimously raised the rate by 25 b.p. (to 3.75-4.00%) - for the first time in three years. However, the minutes of the meeting revealed a deep split: the "hawks" demand to continue crushing inflation, and the moderate wing calls for caution due to the weakening of the economy.
📊 Briefly about the main thing:
Hawk plan: 16 out of 18 representatives of the Fed still predict at least another rate increase in 2026.
Skepticism of traders: Due to weak macro data, the market estimated the probability of October at only 19% and expects a pause.
Storm in the markets: The yield of 10-year U.S. government paper soared to 5.33%, 30-year - to 5.71%. The dollar is strengthening, and gold has collapsed to a 2-month low.
💡 What's up with cryptocurrency?
The high yield of risk-free government bonds (>5.3%) creates local pressure on all risk assets. However, the obvious split within the Fed hints: the tightening cycle is at the limit. The release of weak data on inflation and the labor market will quickly turn the wait for a pause into a bullish trigger for Bitcoin.
