Crypto asset manager Grayscale Investments examined the CLARITY Act’s place in Washington’s digital asset policy debate as lawmakers consider how crypto markets should be supervised. Zach Pandl, Grayscale Head of Research, outlined the bill’s role in shaping digital asset regulation on May 7.
Rather than treating the legislation as a narrow policy update, Pandl described CLARITY as a broad market structure bill. He wrote that it would clarify which federal regulator oversees which activities. The proposal would create a framework separating investment contracts from digital commodities. Under that approach, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) would regulate investment contracts, while the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) would oversee digital commodities. The Grayscale head of research stated:
That enforcement-led approach has shaped Grayscale’s view of the bill’s importance. Pandl wrote that tens of billions of dollars in regulatory fines have been paid. He also said many potential participants have avoided crypto due to fears of regulatory backlash, even as the market expanded into a multi-trillion-dollar ecosystem.
Developers, investors, exchanges, brokers, custodians, and asset issuers would all be affected, according to Grayscale. Developers would receive clearer guidance for structuring and launching projects. Investors would face less legal uncertainty around ownership and project outlook. Trading venues, brokers, and custodians would gain clearer registration paths.
Asset issuers would also face more defined requirements for token distribution and ongoing compliance. Regulators, in Grayscale’s view, would operate within a clearer framework instead of relying on fragmented enforcement decisions. Pandl presented that structure as central to reducing uncertainty across digital asset markets.
Public pressure has also entered the Senate debate. Stand With Crypto delivered a petition with more than 28,000 signatures to Washington on April 30, urging the Senate Banking Committee to mark up the CLARITY Act. A survey released on May 7 found 52% of voters supported the bill after reviewing a neutral summary, while 70% said the United States should already have passed clear crypto legislation. Committee timing sharpened after the Senate Banking Committee scheduled a May 14 executive session to consider H.R.3633, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025.
Passage remains uncertain, despite renewed movement in Washington. Pandl cited Polymarket odds giving the CLARITY Act a 67% chance of passing in 2026. The bill still must advance through the Senate Banking Committee, pass the full Senate, and win approval from both chambers. Grayscale said meaningful progress before the July recess would be important to maintain momentum.

The U.S. Court of International Trade ruled on May 28 that Trump exceeded his authority by using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose the tariffs. The court held that IEEPA, typically used for sanctions, does not authorize tariffs and that such power resides solely with Congress.
The Trump administration filed its appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit immediately after the decision. White House spokesperson Kush Desai asserted, “It is not for unelected judges to decide how to properly address a national emergency.” Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller denounced the ruling on social media as a “judicial coup,” reflecting the administration’s stance that courts cannot limit presidential emergency actions.
Trump announced the tariffs on April 2, declaring the U.S. trade deficit an “unusual and extraordinary threat” justifying a national emergency. The policy imposed a universal 10% baseline tariff on most imports, plus additional “reciprocal” tariffs ranging from 11% to 50% on approximately 60 targeted nations.
The ruling resulted from lawsuits filed by small businesses, including Oregon-based wine importer V.O.S. Selections, and a coalition of states led by Oregon. They argued the trade deficit did not meet IEEPA’s emergency threshold and that the tariffs unconstitutionally bypassed Congress.
Economists and business groups warned the tariffs would raise consumer prices. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon noted they would contribute to inflationary pressures. Importers faced immediate cost increases, with China facing massive rate hikes, creating market uncertainty and supply chain reassessments. Equities, crypto assets, and precious metal markets have all reacted to Trump’s tariff ideas.
The appeal is now pending before the Federal Circuit. Legal experts anticipate the case may ultimately reach the Supreme Court, given its significant constitutional questions regarding executive power in trade policy. Existing tariffs under separate authority remain unaffected.

Bitcoin's increased popularity will help drive the broader digital asset market to around $28 trillion by the end of the decade, according to the report. It's currently about $2.7 trillion, according to CoinDesk data. It also means the price could surge: Even if all 21 million BTC were in circulation by then, which they wouldn't be, one bitcoin would be valued at more than $730,000.
Wood has long been bullish on bitcoin. In January, Ark Invest forecast a price range of $300,000-$1.5 million by 2030. In February, Wood reiterated its appeal as a hedge against inflation and deflation, driven by technological acceleration.
Bitcoin is maturing as the leader of a new institutional asset class,” the report said, buoyed by adoption across exchange-traded funds (EFTs), corporate treasuries and sovereign entities.
Institutional ownership of, primarily, bitcoin is already rising quickly. U.S. ETFs and public companies held about 12% of the total bitcoin supply at the end of last year, an increase from about 9% a year earlier, the report said.
The move reflects a shift in how bitcoin is perceived. Once seen primarily as a speculative asset, it is increasingly being considered “digital gold,” a macro hedge and a reserve asset alongside traditional stores of value.
It adds that even a modest penetration into institutional holdings, as low as 2.5% of an estimated $200 trillion global portfolio excluding gold, could contribute about $5 trillion to bitcoin’s total valuation.
The report also predicts that bitcoin will capture an estimated 40% of gold’s total market value, which it estimated at just over $24 trillion currently, implying nearly $10 trillion in additional upside from the “digital gold” narrative alone.
Other contributions to bitcoin’s growth would come from emerging demand for a neutral reserve asset, where even just a 0.5% penetration of a lower $68 trillion monetary base could add about $339 billion in value, along with allocations from nation-states and corporate treasuries that could each contribute hundred of billions of dollars more.

$DEGO Finance (DEGO) is experiencing a period of high volatility and regulatory transition. While the project remains a pioneer in the "NFT + DeFi" space, it is currently navigating significant challenges regarding its primary exchange listings.
​1. Current Market Status (March 2026)
​The $DEGO token has seen sharp price movements recently. After hitting local lows earlier in the year, the price spiked roughly 70–80% in the last 48 hours, trading around $0.56 – $0.65.
​Market Cap: Approximately $13.4 million.
​Circulating Supply: The project has reached its maximum supply of 21 million tokens, meaning no new DEGO will be minted, creating a scarcity model.
​Trading Volume: There has been a massive surge in volume (over $90 million in 24 hours), driven largely by speculative interest and social media buzz.
​2. The "Monitoring Tag" Development
​The most critical "current situation" for DEGO is the Binance Monitoring Tag. As of March 6, 2026, Binance applied a monitoring tag to DEGO.
​What it means: The exchange considers the project higher risk due to factors like low development activity, liquidity, or stability.
​The Risk: Projects with this tag are under close review and face the potential of being delisted if they do not meet Binance’s standards.
​User Requirement: To trade DEGO on Binance now, users must pass a risk awareness quiz every 90 days.
​3. Roadmap & Ecosystem Evolution
DEGO’s 2025–2026 strategy has shifted toward long-term infrastructure rather than just "hype" NFTs:
​Substrate-Based Parachain: The team is working on building a dedicated parachain to enable seamless cross-chain NFT transfers.
​ERC-908 Adoption: They continue to push the ERC-908 standard, which allows for "decomposable" NFTs (NFTs that contain other assets or tokens).
​Community Governance: The project is leaning more into its DAO structure to decide on future liquidity mining programs and partnership integrations.

The proposal would move block building away from individual validators, create a revenue entity called FIRE to buy and burn FLR, and reduce annual token inflation to 3%.
External estimates put annual MEV revenues at tens of millions on networks like Arbitrum, upwards of $500 million on Ethereum, and as much as $1 billion on Solana. Flare's three-stage proposal would route the revenue into the protocol's own token economics.
In the first stage, block building moves from individual validators to a designated builder, initially run by the Flare Entity, with a fallback to the current model if the builder is unavailable. In the second, block building moves into Flare Confidential Compute, making the process publicly auditable. The third stage merges the builder and proposer into a single entity, shifting existing validators to a verification role.
The proposal also creates FIRE, the Flare Income Reinvestment Entity to collect revenue from multiple protocol sources including attestation fees, FAsset and Smart Account fees, confidential compute fees and the captured MEV. FIRE's primary mandate is reducing FLR token supply through open-market buybacks and burns.
Several changes would take effect immediately after approval. Annual FLR inflation would drop to 3% from 5%, with the hard cap cut to 3 billion tokens per year from 5 billion. A 20-fold increase to the base gas fee, from 60 gwei to 1,200 gwei, would raise estimated annual FLR burn from roughly 7.5 million to 300 million at current transaction volumes. Even after the increase, a standard Flare transaction would cost a fraction of a cent.
Flare has deep roots in the XRP ecosystem, having distributed its initial token supply through an airdrop to XRP holders in 2023. Its FAssets system, which has produced over 150 million FXRP, is designed to bring smart contract functionality to assets on blockchains like XRPL that do not natively support it.
The network reports over $160 million in total value locked as of late March 2026, with more than 887,000 active addresses.

The boss of a global haulage firm has said the two-year lane closures on part of one of the south coast's busiest roads has cost the firm £2.4m.
National Highways' work to resurface the M27 between junction five at Eastleigh and junction seven at Hedge End first began in 2024. It fully reopened from 06:00 BST, although a temporary 50mph limit is expected to be in place until the end of June.
Speaking ahead of its reopening, Bob Terris, from the Southampton-based haulage firm Meachers Global Logistics, said he was "relieved" the "critical" route would be back up and running.
National Highways praised motorists' "patience" and said the works would create "smoother, quieter and safer" journeys.
Terris estimated the disruption had cost the company, which runs 60 lorries in the Southampton area each day, £2.4m.
We know exactly what it costs for the trucks, we know how much time we're losing - it's not rocket science, it's a lot of money," he said.We know exactly what it costs for the trucks, we know how much time we're losing - it's not rocket science, it's a lot of money," he said.
Terris, who began working at Meachers in 1962 and went on to own the company, welcomed the resurfacing project but bemoaned the economic impact.
It's reduced the productivity of the vehicles, so our costs are higher, and our revenues lower because we don't get paid if they're not moving," he explained.
It's not just the trucks, it's the admin, the telecom, the systems and everything [you have to do] to accommodate all this.
It's an absolutely huge thing, but we're only one company, just multiply this across the whole region and see how much it's costing."
Professional magician Darren Snelgar said the traffic caused by the roadworks had been a problem as he has been travelling to gigs
It's been a bit of a nightmare, with the traffic building up every night around about three, half-past three, so it's been a right pain," he said.
The two-year £83m project to upgrade the motorway, which runs between the New Forest and Portsmouth, first began in March 2024.
It came as part of a National Highways scheme to replace routes built using concrete with asphalt to reduce noise and ensure the road lasted longer.
It has also involved work to improve drainage and strengthen the central reservation.
Richard Scrase, programme delivery manager at National Highways, said they were "grateful" for motorists' "continued patience".
These improvements have created a smoother, quieter and safer journey for drivers, while helping the road last for generations to come," he added.
