🔈🔈 CRYPTO MARKET NEWS UPDATE – AUGUST 19, 2026

💥 BTC is currently trading around $64,400, as the crypto market sees fresh developments across regulation, exchanges and blockchain infrastructure.

💎 Top News Today:
✔️ SEC unveils major new crypto framework: The U.S. SEC has proposed a new regulatory framework specifically for crypto assets, including exemptions for certain token offerings and a proposed safe harbor for qualifying digital assets. The proposal is now open for public comment.
✔️ BitMart faces August 19 deadline: BitMart users and employees are demanding that founder Sheldon Xia disclose the exchange’s assets, liabilities, wallets and available reserves, along with a repayment plan for affected users. The group has set August 19 as the deadline for answers and warned of potential reports to regulators and law enforcement.
✔️ BitMart shutdown moves closer: BitMart has announced plans to end trading on August 26, 2026, followed by a complete shutdown in early 2027. Withdrawal issues and delays have continued to draw concern from users during the wind-down process.
✔️ White House crypto meeting takes place today: U.S. crypto industry executives are expected to meet with President Donald Trump at the White House on August 19, with major industry names including Coinbase and Ripple linked to the discussions. The meeting comes as the Trump administration pushes forward with crypto regulation through federal agencies.
✔️ Ethereum developers continue major protocol changes: Ethereum’s development roadmap remains focused on the upcoming Glamsterdam upgrade, with block-level access lists and enshrined proposer-builder separation among the major proposed changes for the network’s 2026 upgrade cycle.

🔈🔈 U.S. MOVES GENIUS ACT INTO STABLECOIN RULEMAKING

💥 The U.S. Treasury has officially moved the GENIUS Act into the rulemaking phase, releasing its first proposed rules covering the issuance, offer, and distribution of payment stablecoins in the United States.

👑 Key points:
✔️ January 18, 2027: Payment stablecoin issuers operating in the U.S. will generally need to be authorized under the GENIUS Act.
✔️ July 18, 2028: Digital asset service providers generally will not be allowed to offer or provide payment stablecoins to U.S. users unless the token is issued by an authorized issuer.
✔️ Foreign stablecoins: The proposal introduces requirements for foreign issuers, including their ability to comply with U.S. legal orders and maintain appropriate regulatory cooperation with their home jurisdictions.
✔️ What about USDT? Tether and other foreign stablecoins are likely to face close scrutiny. However, the proposal does not mean USDT is immediately banned in the U.S. Its treatment will depend on the final rules and how foreign issuers meet the requirements.

🗓 Public comment period: 60 days, giving companies and the public an opportunity to provide feedback.

👀 The proposal marks a major step toward turning the GENIUS Act into an operational regulatory framework for stablecoins, potentially reshaping how global stablecoin issuers and crypto platforms operate in the U.S.

🔈🔈 MARKET INFORMATION UPDATE – 13/08/2026

💥 BTC is currently trading around $63,400, while the crypto market continues to record many notable developments related to security, blockchain incidents, legal issues, and digital asset infrastructure.

💎 Highlights today:
✔️ Solana was almost stuck in a network freeze state.
Solana came very close to a threshold where the network could no longer continue finality after a routing incident at a data center provider temporarily took about 29% of staked SOL offline. Around 90 validators were affected, and the network was only about 20 million SOL away from the freeze threshold. The issue was resolved after roughly 10 minutes, but it shows that concentration risk in connectivity infrastructure remains a notable concern for major blockchains.
✔️ Harmony is considering a rollback after an incident that inflated the ONE supply.
Harmony is considering the possibility of rolling back the blockchain after an exploit was suspected to have caused an abnormal amount of ONE tokens to be created. The case is putting the community in a difficult position between restoring the pre-incident state and maintaining the blockchain’s immutability.
✔️ An XRP bridge was drained by about $200,000 due to deposit verification errors.
An XRP-related bridge was exploited after the software mistakenly treated fake deposits as valid transactions, allowing the attacker to withdraw around $200,000. This continues to be a warning about bridge system risks and cross-chain transaction verification mechanisms.
✔️ New York launches an investigation into the marketing activities of prediction markets.

🔈🔈 STRATEGY WILL BUY BACK BITCOIN BY YEAR-END

💥 CEO Strategy Phong Le confirmed that the company will return to buying Bitcoin during the remaining portion of the year, despite continuously selling BTC in recent times.

⚡️ Since the beginning of 2026, Strategy has bought about 175,000 BTC, while only selling around 7,000 BTC—meaning the amount of BTC purchased is still roughly 25 times the amount sold.

💎 Currently, Strategy holds more than 840,447 BTC, remaining the public company with the largest Bitcoin holdings in the world.

👑 Strategy has sold BTC four times since June 2026; most recently, it sold 1,690 BTC worth approximately $108.6 million. However, CEO Phong Le stated that these sales are part of a new capital management strategy, rather than indicating that the company has abandoned its confidence in Bitcoin.

📌 The new statement shows that Strategy continues to maintain a long-term BTC accumulation strategy and may accelerate its buyback when capital conditions are more favorable.

💥 BTC is currently trading around $63,600, while the crypto market continues to see many noteworthy developments related to security, regulation, blockchain, and payment infrastructure.

💎 Highlights today:
✔️ Coinsbuy was attacked, with losses near $8 million.

Coinsbuy has suspended deposits/withdrawals and announced a $100,000 bounty for information to identify the attacker(s) and additional rewards for recovering the assets.
✔️ The CFTC requires Kalshi to continue operating in New York.
The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has asked Kalshi to continue providing prediction markets in New York while its legal dispute with the state is still ongoing. The matter is becoming a new hotspot regarding how the U.S. regulates prediction markets based on digital assets.
✔️ Australia suspends one of the crypto ATM operators.
Australia’s financial crime authority has suspended Cryptolink Pty Ltd for 3 months, forcing 96 of the company’s crypto ATMs to stop operating. This is a new step in efforts to tighten crypto ATM operations and reduce the risk of using these channels for money laundering.
