White House Sets February Deadline for Historic Crypto Bill
Trump's Crypto Market Structure Bill Announcement: President Trump confirmed plans to sign a bill that could unlock trillions in institutional capital for crypto, potentially marking a historic inflow for Bitcoin.
Washington, D.C. — The narrative of America becoming the "crypto capital of the planet" is hitting its most critical legislative stretch. Following a high-profile confirmation at the Davos World Economic Forum in mid-to-late January, President Trump has signaled he is ready to sign a historic Crypto Market Structure Bill—the CLARITY Act—as soon as it clears the Senate floor.
The Legislative Breakthrough On January 29, 2026, the Senate Agriculture Committee achieved a watershed moment by advancing the bill in a historic vote. This is the first time such comprehensive legislation has cleared a Senate committee. The bill’s primary objective? Ending the "regulation by enforcement" era by: Empowering the CFTC: Officially designating the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as the primary regulator for digital commodities like Bitcoin and Ethereum.Defining the Lines: Providing a clear legal framework to distinguish between securities and commodities, a move industry leaders say is essential for long-term survival. The "Trillion-Dollar" Standoff While the White House is pushing for "lightning fast" passage, a tactical standoff is currently occurring. On February 2, 2026, White House officials summoned executives from Coinbase, the Blockchain Association, and major banking groups to resolve a "stablecoin rewards" dispute. Traditional banks fear that if crypto platforms offer high-yield rewards on stablecoins without bank-like regulations, it could drain trillions from community bank deposits. The White House has reportedly given both sides until the end of February to reach a compromise. Why This Matters for Bitcoin If the CLARITY Act is signed, analysts predict a "historic inflow." By providing federal "rules of the road," the bill would allow regulated institutions—which currently manage trillions in sidelined capital—to integrate digital assets into treasury management and institutional ETPs (Exchange Traded Products) without the fear of sudden SEC crackdowns. "The goal is unlocking new pathways for Americans to reach financial freedom," Trump stated during his Davos address, tying the bill to a broader economic strategy of American financial dominance.
🚨 Crypto Industry Alert — $40B Bitcoin Distribution Error 🚨
A major South Korean cryptocurrency exchange accidentally credited over $40 billion worth of Bitcoin to users due to a staff error during a promotional payout. Instead of small rewards, some accounts briefly showed phantom BTC balances totalling ~620,000 BTC. The exchange says this was not a hack or security breach — just an internal mix-up. 🛠️
🔹 Trading & withdrawals were restricted within minutes for the affected ~695 accounts.
🔹 The platform has reportedly recovered about 99.7 % of the mistakenly sent Bitcoin.
🔹 The incident has sparked fresh concerns about exchange controls, operational risk, and regulatory oversight in the crypto ecosystem. 📊
👉 This serves as a reminder that even trusted exchanges can face major operational mishaps. Stay cautious and prioritize security and risk awareness in crypto interactions.
