JPMorgan (JPM) said falling odds of the Clarity Act passing the U.S. Senate this year are a setback for crypto markets, warning that further delays could undermine one of the industry's biggest regulatory catalysts. Prediction markets now imply just a 37% chance of the legislation passing before year-end after the Senate prioritized other bills ahead of its summer recess, the Wall Street bank noted. Negotiations remain deadlocked over ethics provisions, enforcement, DeFi, stablecoin yield and anti-money laundering rules.
The longer the approval of the Clarity Act is postponed, the greater the threat to crypto markets from the growth of tokenization and blockchain-based applications eventually being absorbed by incumbent market infrastructure rather than accruing to public crypto networks, analysts led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou said in the Wednesday report. The Clarity Act would establish clearer oversight of digital assets by dividing jurisdiction between the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), while creating a more predictable framework for crypto intermediaries, tokenization and decentralized projects. The proposed act is widely viewed as a cornerstone for the next phase of institutional crypto adoption. By establishing clear rules for digital assets, the legislation could give banks, brokers, exchanges and asset managers greater confidence to invest, launch products and build market infrastructure, accelerating the migration of trading and liquidity to regulated U.S.

The analysis and opinions expressed are his own and do not necessarily reflect those of Decrypt. Robinhood reported the best quarter in its history on Wednesday. They recorded net revenue of $1.31 billion, up 32% from a year ago, and diluted EPS of $0.62 (vs $0.41 expected). Net income hit $573 million (up 48%), total platform assets climbed to $369 billion, and net deposits set a record near $21.7 billion.
It was a blowout on almost every line. Arguably, the most interesting update came from their prediction market business. Robinhoods event contracts generated $156 million, up more than tenfold year over year, and for the first time, it passed both crypto at $100 million and equities at $129 million. Crypto is going the wrong way, with digital-asset revenue falling 38% from $160 million a year ago as retail trading volumes kept cooling. Options, up 29% to $342 million, and equities, up 95%, did the heavy lifting instead, along with Trump Account fees that helped pull other revenue up 54%. CEO Vlad Tenev framed the whole company as 13 separate business lines each generating over $100 million annualized, all tied to one goal of making everyone an owner. And yes, Robinhood Chain was covered.

He pointed to investments in automation that are rapidly changing the resource model required to run the business. The exchange, owned by Digital Currency Group, is moving toward institutional infrastructure and emerging-market stablecoins. Luno is cutting about 20% of its staff worldwide, chief executive James Lanigan told Bloomberg on Tuesday, declining to say how many roles are affected. The exchange, owned by Digital Currency Group, is headquartered in London and has 16 million users across Africa and Asia-Pacific.
Luno has made material investments in automation and broader operational improvements over the last year, Lanigan said, and is developing tools that are rapidly changing the resource model required to run the business effectively, allowing for a leaner and adapted structure. It is Luno's second deep cut to its workforce. The exchange shed 35% of its staff in January 2023, blaming an incredibly tough year for the crypto market. In The restructure aims to scale Luno's business-to-business unit, with the exchange planning to let lenders, fintechs and telecoms firms offer crypto under their own brands while Luno supplies the liquidity, wallet infrastructure and compliance behind it. Johannesburg's Discovery Bank is already a partner, and Lanigan said more will be announced through the year.

🔥 Fake Flare Network Staking Site Drained $8.5M in XRP: Seoul Police.
Police say the operators impersonated Flare Network and FXRP, and seeded blogs, articles and YouTube with false information. Investigators traced 27.3 billion won ($18.8 million) through wallets linked to the group and froze 17.3 billion won of it. A fake staking site that ran for eight days last October took 3.4 million XRP from 71 investors, worth 12.3 billion won ($8.5 million), Seoul police say. Two men, both 29, have been referred to prosecutors on aggravated fraud charges, local outlet Chosun reported Thursday.
According to police, the site, Fxrpntwork.com, impersonated Flare Network and its FXRP token, both legitimate projects, and promised monthly returns of 1.5% to 1.8% with principal guaranteed. Investors were allegedly directed to move XRP off domestic exchanges, through overseas venues, and into wallets the group controlled, before the site shut down on October 23 and the operators disappeared. Police said the group planted false information on portal blogs, online news articles and Wikipedia, and produced YouTube videos featuring a paid stand-in, so anyone researching the project found what looked like independent corroboration. The scheme followed FXRP's actual launch the month before.

🔥 Bitcoin and ether markets are ruled by perps. SpaceX showed how far their influence can go.
Ask most people how a crypto price gets set and they will describe spot trading: buyers and sellers meet on an exchange, and the last trade prints the price. But that has not been how it actually works for years as far as bitcoin, ether and the broader crypto markets are concerned. Perpetual futures, also called perpetual swaps or perps for short, are leverage-friendly contracts that never expire, and they now account for roughly 93% of all crypto futures volume, with daily perp volume routinely running larger than the spot market underneath it. A traditional futures contract has a settlement date, which is when it comes due and its price is forced to meet the spot price of the thing it tracks, also called the underlying. But a perpetual has no such date and can be held indefinitely (by paying a cost known as funding rate, which varies daily).
A body of market-microstructure work has asked which venue discovers a bitcoin price first, meaning where new information enters the market before it shows up anywhere else. The answer has repeatedly come back pointing at derivatives. A study in the Journal of Financial Markets by Carol Alexander and co-authors found that perpetual swaps on unregulated venues were the strongest instruments for bitcoin price discovery, with regulated futures and U.S. spot exchanges reacting to, rather than leading, those moves. Other work has identified Binance's perpetual market as the primary source of price formation across the fragmented crypto landscape.

🔥 Senators ready to send stricter ethics rules on Trump's crypto ventures to White House, sources say.
It's unclear who has seen the latest effort from the bipartisan duo that's been trying to negotiate a final acceptable compromise, but it would need to get approval from the White House and buy-in from a lot of Democrats before the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act can knock down its final dominoes and get to a vote in the U.S. The ethics piece has President Donald Trump's crypto business empire squarely in mind as it seeks to ban senior government officials from direct ties to the industry. Trump recently agreed to accept a narrow version of this concept, surprising some crypto insiders with his willingness, and the White House hailed it as an unprecedented ethics constraint that directly affects the president. But Democratic opponents argued it's structured in such a way that Trump won't have to do much if anything to comply, and that he won't have enforcement worries from a Department of Justice led by his appointed loyalists. Republican Tillis and Democrat Gallego agreed to try bridging the gap, and the people said the lawmakers indicated they've struck new common ground, though they didn't share any details.

🔥 Bitcoin's quantum plan assumes some algorithms break. AI just weakened one in 60 hours.
The work took about 60 hours and roughly $100,000 in computing costs, against an algorithm that had survived two years and two rounds of expert human review. Digital signature schemes such as HAWK prove that a message or data set came from whoever holds a particular digital key that points to that exact message. Bitcoin uses one every time a coin moves, and so does every website showing a padlock in the browser. The versions in use today are expected to fail to quantum computers, and HAWK is one of the candidates under review to replace them. It has not been publicly deployed anywhere. Nothing in the research affects bitcoin or ether currently, as both secure transactions with elliptic curve signatures, which neither attack had targeted.
HAWK is not one of the schemes bitcoin would migrate to. BIP-360, the proposal to give bitcoin quantum-resistant addresses, specifies three algorithms NIST has already standardized, and includes several deliberately so users have fallbacks if one is later broken by quantum or classical advances. What changed is the speed of the classical side. BIP-361, the companion proposal that would freeze more than a third of bitcoin's supply, argues that the migration window is closing because cryptographic attacks are improving by up to 20-fold. Anthropic's results align with that trend, with a model behind it. Against HAWKs smallest parameter set, Anthropic said the expected cost of recovering a key fell from about 2^64 operations to 2^38.

🔥 Ether, XRP flat as chip stocks steady on Samsung's 250-fold profit surge.
Ether traded at about $1,905 and bitcoin at $64,100, both flat on the day, with XRP at $1.07, solana at $74, BNB at $572 and TRON at 33 cents. Hyperliquid's HYPE slipped to $54. Volumes were modest, with roughly $28 billion changing hands in bitcoin and $10 billion in ether. Electronics giant Samsung said chip profit rose more than 250-fold on AI memory shortages, and the Kospi swung between a 6% gain and a 2% loss before settling, after a stretch that took the index down more than 40% from its June peak. Samsung's reaction is the tell on how high the bar has become. Profit up 250-fold moved the shares 2%. SK Hynix reported profit up 557% on Wednesday and fell 17%.
Results are not the problem, expectations are. Microsoft gained nearly 9% in extended trading on its fastest cloud growth in four years, while Meta fell 8% on a weak revenue forecast. Nasdaq 100 futures rose 1% after the index entered a technical correction on Wednesday. The weekly picture across crypto is deeper than Thursday's calm suggests. HYPE is down 8% over seven sessions, the worst of the majors. XRP has lost 6%, solana 5%, dogecoin 4% to $0.07, and bitcoin 3%. BNB is the only major holding a weekly gain, up marginally.

Wallet keys are protected by MPC and TEE cryptography, meaning no single partynot MoonPay and not the AI itselfcan access a user's funds or sign transactions alone. The product runs on technology from Sodot, the Israeli key management firm MoonPay acquired for roughly $100 million in April. MoonPay launched PayBox todaya payment vault that plugs into Claude and ChatGPT and lets AI agents, software programs that complete tasks autonomously on your behalf, to actually spend money for you.
The mechanics are fairly straightforward. The vault acts as a secure digital safe that stores both crypto wallets and payment cards. You tell the chatbot what you want. The AI then lines up the transaction. You approve it with a passkey (a secure digital key stored on your phone or device, like Face ID for payments).

The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady at 3.5%3.75% on Wednesday, meeting near-universal market expectations and leaving crypto markets to digest a muted responseeven as equities sold off on a combination of hawkish dissent and a geopolitical shock. The price of Bitcoin dipped around 1% to $63,890 following the Fed's announcement while Ethereum similarly fell by about 1% , now trading for just above $1,900.
It's the fifth consecutive hold since the committee cut rates by 25 basis points in December 2025the last move Jerome Powell made before Kevin Warsh, Trump's pick for Fed chair, took over. Since then, rates haven't moved. Neither has Warsh's communication style: he's pledged to share less forward guidance than his predecessors, meaning markets get fewer signals about what's coming next. Wednesday's decision came without a Summary of Economic Projectionsthe quarterly dot plot that shows where each Fed member expects rates to land. That means no fresh forecast to trade on. The next one comes in September.

🔥 SEC Ready to Provide Crypto Rules if Clarity Act Flounders: Chair Atkins.
Image: SEC/DecryptCreate an account to save your articles.Add on GoogleAdd Decrypt as your preferred source to see more of our stories on Google.In brief Paul Atkins said the SEC is ready, willing, and able to write crypto rules if Congress does not pass the Clarity Act. He argued a statute is the only way to stop the framework shifting with each administration. The bill has cleared the House and Senate Banking, and has not reached a Senate floor vote. The SEC will write crypto market rules itself if Congress fails to pass the Clarity Act, chairman Paul Atkins said. The agency is ready, willing, and able to come out with rules covering the same ground, he told CNBC on Monday, and would stand ready to provide that should the bill not clear the Senate.
Statute is the way to future-proof something, Atkins said, adding that the market needs the certainty of a statute so the framework does not shift with each administration. He said he remains optimistic Congress will pass the bill and that the SEC is providing technical assistance, a case he pressed again on Tuesday in a post on X saying he is committed to supporting Congress in advancing it. The Clarity Act passed the House 294-134 in July last year and cleared the Senate Banking Committee 15-9 in May, with nine Democrats against. It has not reached a floor vote, where it would need 60 votes, and the Senate breaks for recess in August. The bill would hand the CFTC exclusive jurisdiction over spot markets in digital commodities, moving most tokens outside the SEC's reach.

The analysis and opinions expressed are his own and do not necessarily reflect those of Decrypt. An AI Model Just Broke Post-Quantum Cryptography Anthropic said an unreleased version of its most powerful model, Claude Mythos Preview, found two previously unknown attacks on crypto algorithms, one of them against a scheme competing to become a US federal standard.
The target, HAWK, is a digital signature system that proves a transaction came from you without exposing your private key, and it was specifically designed to survive quantum computers. NIST had advanced it to the third round of its post-quantum competition in May, where it was the last lattice-based candidate standing. Claude found a symmetry in HAWKs math that no human had used, dropping the cost of stealing its smallest key from 2^64 operations to 2^38, roughly 67 million times less work. Patching HAWK means roughly doubling its key sizes, and as Anthropic put it, that eliminates many of the reasons HAWK was attractive in the first place. Signature size is block space, and block space is fees, so any chain shopping for a quantum-resistant replacement is partly choosing on bytes per signature.

One plaintiff reported the app to Apple; another downloaded it nine days later and lost $840,000, the complaint says. Sparrow Wallet developer Craig Raw has publicly flagged copycat iOS apps since January 2024. Three Bitcoin holders have sued Apple over a counterfeit Sparrow Wallet app they say drained a combined $1.8 million. The complaint, filed on July 24 in the Northern District of California, brings eight counts including fraud, negligent misrepresentation and strict products liability.
Each plaintiff entered a seed phrase into the app, according to the filing. James Ramirez lost 7.4 BTC, put at $875,000; Christopher Ellis $840,000; and Jalen Delgado 1.05 BTC, put at $120,000. Sparrow Wallet runs only on Windows, macOS and Linux and has never shipped an iOS version, so any App Store listing under that name is an impersonation. Ramirez reported the app and his loss to Apple on July 25, 2025, the day it happened. Ellis downloaded a Sparrow app from the store nine days later.

🔥 Zcash Activates Ironwood Upgrade After Counterfeiting Scare.
Image: Shutterstock/DecryptCreate an account to save your articles.Add on GoogleAdd Decrypt as your preferred source to see more of our stories on Google.In brief Zcash has activated the Ironwood network upgrade, replacing the Orchard shielded pool with a new private pool. The upgrade prevents any potentially counterfeit coins from leaving the retired pool while preserving transaction privacy. Ironwood also introduces quantum-resistant transaction records and formally verified cryptography designed to reduce future security risks. Weeks after a critical vulnerability sparked a market rout and raised questions about Zcash's supply, the privacy-focused cryptocurrency has activated Ironwood, an upgrade designed to ensure any counterfeit coins can never enter circulation.
The Ironwood upgrade retires the Orchard shielded pool, which holds roughly 3.7 million ZEC worth about $1.7 billion, and begins migrating users into a new shielded pool. The upgrade also introduces new accounting rules for Zcash's circulating supply while preserving the network's privacy guarantees. The road to Ironwood began in May, when security researcher Taylor Hornby, using Claude Opus 4.8, discovered a four-year-old flaw in Orchard that could have allowed an attacker to create counterfeit ZEC. Developers issued an emergency patch in June, but because shielded transactions intentionally hide their details, there was no way to prove whether the vulnerability had ever been exploited.
