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.

Liberty advocate Ron Paul argued that booms built on monetary “stimulus” end the old-fashioned way—with bankruptcies, inflation, and a painful reset—because fake growth demands a real correction. If this is the “biggest” boom, he warned, the payback could be proportionate. He traced the cycle to the post-2008 era of zero rates and quantitative easing, calling today’s cheerleading a rerun of past bubbles.
Rosini took aim at a presidential habit: brag about the stock market on the way up, pretend it doesn’t matter on the way down. He said inflation denial has migrated from one administration to the next, while household bills tell an entirely different story. With rate cuts expected, he said, higher prices are likely to linger—another reason the current expansion looks contrived.
Beyond the macro, Paul said the system isn’t “capitalism” so much as cronyism—a patchwork of interventions sold as democracy but steered by 51% coalitions and special interest groups. The result, he stressed, is pressure on Congress to keep the spending flowing, even when lawmakers know better. Interventionism, in his telling, is a bipartisan sport dressed up as unity.
Tariffs were Exhibit A. Paul called them immoral and economically backward because consumers foot the bill. Using a sneakers example, he argued protectionism punishes shoppers with higher prices while rewarding favored producers. “Tariffs are taxes,” he said, and even without the levy, foreign suppliers would raise prices in response to U.S. barriers—costs that ultimately land on buyers
Rosini added numbers to the critique, citing roughly $219 billion collected via tariffs and a Goldman Sachs estimate that Americans eat 86% of the tab—money that barely dents deficits while matching outlays such as U.S. funding aid to foreign countries. He said breathless claims about multi-trillion-dollar investment pledges are, for now, rhetoric outpacing the economic realities.
The pair said demagoguery thrives because people expect short-term gains, while lobbyists grease the machinery. Paul argued the United States lives in a permanent “mixed” economy—part corporatism, part central planning—where both parties enlarge the state in a relay. The true fix, he remarked, is a return to constitutional limits, sound money, and free market exchange.
Still, they ended on a glass-half-full note: ideas matter, and better economics can spread quickly once the costs of intervention bite hard enough. Citing groups teaching Austrian principles, Paul said public opinion can pivot fast—Covid-19 policies being a recent case study. Until then, Paul and Rosini urged vigilance and less cheerleading from the political class. They framed that pivot as achievable if voters reward restraint over grand, crowd-pleasing promises from either party instead.

Robert Kiyosaki, author of the best-selling book Rich Dad Poor Dad, has issued renewed warnings about the weakening U.S. dollar and the growing economic pressures he believes Americans must prepare for. His book has been an international best seller for decades, translated into dozens of languages and shaping how millions around the world think about money, debt, and financial independence.
Kiyosaki shared on social media platform X last week: “Bye bye U.S. dollar!!!!!” He warned followers:
In the same post, the famous author also conveyed his belief that BRICS nations are developing a gold-backed currency called the “UNIT,” a claim reported by several media outlets but not confirmed by any official announcement. BRICS nations include Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Ethiopia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Indonesia. Kiyosaki’s message remained centered on what he sees as accelerating inflation and the declining purchasing power of the U.S. dollar.
The renowned author also cited UBS data indicating an increase in global billionaires, noting that about 2,900 individuals now control $15.8 trillion, up from 2,700 controlling $14 trillion in 2024. He added that he is not among the older or newer billionaires, saying he built his wealth through “ultra-low tech” ventures such as books and games produced with long-established printing technology, and that he saves his money in physical gold and silver. He emphasized that, in his experience, wealth is not determined by new or old technology but by durable financial principles that withstand economic upheaval.
Kiyosaki has consistently warned that fiat currencies—especially the U.S. dollar—are losing strength as inflation erodes purchasing power. Whether or not any new global currency emerges, Kiyosaki maintains that individuals should protect themselves with gold, silver, bitcoin, and ether—assets he believes will remain resilient as traditional currencies continue to weaken.

Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, shared a series of lessons on social media platform X this week focused on how individuals can protect and grow wealth during prolonged global economic downturns, with particular emphasis on preparation, asset ownership, and bitcoin.
During a global economic crash, prices on many assets will crash,” Kiyosaki said, “which means a crash may be a good time to acquire assets, such as rental real estate… that provides cash flow.” The famous author noted:
Kiyosaki used this statement to explain that falling asset prices are not inherently negative if investors are financially prepared and liquid. He argued that crashes often reset valuations, allowing disciplined buyers to acquire income-generating assets at discounts. By referencing his experience across multiple downturns, he framed crashes as recurring cycles rather than rare catastrophes, reinforcing his broader lesson that wealth is built through counter-cyclical action rather than fear-driven retreat.
What would you do to increase your wealth during an economic crisis? Best to plan now,” the renowned author asked his followers, underscoring his belief that advance planning, not reaction, determines outcomes when markets deteriorate.
His follow-up posts expanded on the long-term nature of economic decline and his preference for hard and decentralized assets. Kiyosaki explained: “How you can get richer as the world economy collapses. Crashes do not happen overnight. Crashes take decades to occur.” He argued that today’s instability stems from decades of debt expansion and monetary intervention. From that perspective, the acclaimed author urged asset protection outside traditional systems, writing:
Kiyosaki presented bitcoin as “people’s money,” highlighting its fixed supply and independence from central banks as safeguards against currency debasement. Supporters of bitcoin echo this view, pointing to its transparent issuance and censorship resistance, while critics note volatility and regulatory uncertainty. Kiyosaki’s central lesson remains that understanding monetary history and positioning early are key to long-term financial resilience.

Robinhood Markets Inc. reported a 27% increase in fourth-quarter revenue, reaching $1.28 billion compared to $1.01 billion in the same period last year. While the growth highlights the company’s expanding scale, the results fell short of the $1.34 billion target set by Wall Street analysts. The quarter was characterized by a 34% decline in net income attributable to common stockholders, which dropped to $605 million from $916 million a year prior.
The year-over-year dip in quarterly profit was primarily tied to a significant shift in tax accounting. In the fourth quarter of 2024, Robinhood benefited from a $358 million income tax credit. In contrast, the company recorded a tax provision of $56 million for the final quarter of 2025.
Operational expenses also weighed on the quarter, surging 38% as the firm ramped up investments. Management noted that the increased spending was largely driven by aggressive marketing, growth-oriented initiatives, and costs associated with recent acquisitions. Despite these pressures, the company saw growth across all its primary revenue streams, supported by a massive influx of new capital. Net deposits for the quarter reached $15.9 billion, representing a 19% annualized growth rate relative to assets at the end of the previous quarter.
Reflecting on the full-year performance, CFO Shiv Verma described 2025 as a “record year” that saw the company achieve new highs in net deposits, trading volumes, and Gold subscription numbers. Total annual revenue jumped 52% to $4.47 billion, while full-year net income rose to $1.88 billion. Verma expressed optimism for the year ahead, noting that 2026 is already off to a strong start with a continued focus on driving profitable growth for shareholders.
We are incredibly excited about our plan and momentum for the year ahead as we focus on shipping great products for customers and driving profitable growth for shareholders,” Verma said.
Chief Executive Officer Vlad Tenev emphasized that the company remains committed to its long-term vision of becoming a “financial superapp.” This strategy appears to be gaining traction with users; over the past twelve months, Robinhood attracted $68.1 billion in net deposits, a 35% growth rate relative to the platform’s total assets at the end of 2024.
The company also continued its capital return program, repurchasing $653 million worth of Class A common stock during the year. This translated to 12 million shares at an average price of $54.30. Since the buyback program was initiated in mid-2024, Robinhood has repurchased approximately 22 million shares for a total value of $910 million.The company also continued its capital return program, repurchasing $653 million worth of Class A common stock during the year.

According to Cryptoquant‘s latest report, bitcoin‘s apparent demand metric, which tracks the 30-day change in estimated onchain spot buying activity, stayed negative for the full duration of April’s price run. Perpetual futures demand expanded during the same window as speculative traders pushed prices higher through leverage rather than direct coin accumulation.
Cryptoquant researchers describe the gap between rising futures activity and contracting spot demand as one of the clearest onchain signals that price gains are speculative in nature. When spot demand falls while price climbs, the market’s marginal buyer is positioned in derivatives, not in actual bitcoin.
The analyst’s phased breakdown of demand data makes the dynamic hard to dispute. Each phase of April’s rally showed higher perpetual futures demand alongside negative spot apparent demand. This was not a case of spot buyers lagging behind and catching up. Spot demand actively contracted as futures activity climbed.
Cryptoquant market strategists note that rallies with this structure tend to be self-limiting. Without fresh spot demand to absorb elevated prices, the unwind of futures positioning becomes the primary driver of the next decline.
The historical parallel Cryptoquant researchers draw is direct and worth taking seriously. The same demand signature appeared at the onset of the 2022 bear market, when perpetual futures demand expanded in isolation while spot apparent demand stayed in contraction. That setup preceded a multi-month price decline. Cryptoquant applies onchain demand decomposition consistently across cycles and identifies this pattern as a reliable early indicator of price fragility.
Bitcoin has already begun pulling back from the April peak. Price slipped from $79,000 to $75,000 following the rally’s high, a move consistent with how futures-led rallies historically resolve once speculative positioning begins to unwind. As of Saturday, May 2, BTC is exchanging hands just above $78,000 after trying again to reach the $80,000 mark.
Cryptoquant’s Bull Score Index declined from 50 to 40 in April, crossing back below the neutral threshold and returning to bearish territory. The index briefly reached 50, neutral ground, in mid-April before sliding to 40 by month’s end despite the 20% price gain during that stretch. Cryptoquant describes a score of 40 as conditions “getting bearish,” placing the market in a range historically associated with continued price weakness.
The Bull Score is a composite index Cryptoquant builds from multiple onchain and market indicators, scaled from 0 to 100. Scores above 50 reflect bullish conditions. Scores below 50 reflect bearish conditions. The market action also coincides with the U.S.-Iran conflict and geopolitical rumblings. Yesterday, Trump said the conflict was over, which gave bitcoin another boost alongside equities.
Cryptoquant analysts conclude that without a reversal in apparent demand from negative to positive territory, any push back toward the $79,000 local peak will lack the on-chain support needed to produce a sustained breakout.
The data does not guarantee a repeat of 2022’s prolonged downturn, but Cryptoquant makes clear the current demand structure matches the historical profile of price fragility, not accumulation.

The new framework due Jan. 1 will let banks pay interest on clients' e-CNY holdings.
The future digital yuan will be a modern digital payment and circulation means issued and circulated within the financial system, with technical support and supervision provided by the central bank, possessing the attributes of commercial bank liabilities, based on accounts, compatible with distributed ledger technology, and having the functions of a measure of monetary value, store of value, and cross-border payment," Lei wrote.
The plan also proposes to establish an international digital yuan operations centre in Shanghai.
The PBOC began working on the digital yuan program in 2014 under the name of the Digital Currency Electronic Payment or DCEP project to research benefits of the CBDC.
The central bank launched the digital yuan in April 2022. Since then, it has airdropped e-CNY as part of a pilot program to encourage adoption.

China’s exports remain resilient under U.S. tariffs as the yuan stays tightly managed, sending ripples all the way to the crypto market.
In response, China has adapted to Trump's tactics, with tight control over the yuan's exchange rate playing a key role in its resilience.
According to a recent note by JPMorgan, this stance on exchange rate management has helped Beijing preserve export competitiveness and contain deflation, while amplifying dollar-led liquidity cycles during periods of trade stress.
In other words, China's exchange rate management tends to supercharge dollar-driven cash flows during the escalation of trade tensions, like storms that make the flood worse.
This affects bitcoin, which is a macro-sensitive asset. It tanks when the tariff-led risk-off makes the dollar liquidity scarce and rebounds when the tensions ease. That's exactly how bitcoin traded in March-April last year after trade tensions escalated.
China’s influence on crypto prices runs indirectly through currency management and global liquidity cycles, data suggests, unlike the U.S., where it flows directly via capital movements in exchange-traded funds and other alternative investment vehicles.
That interpretation aligns with arguments from Arthur Hayes, who has framed U.S.-China trade deals as largely performative and emphasized that the real economic adjustment occurs through quieter channels.
In his view, tariffs and negotiations set the political backdrop, while FX policy, capital-account tools, and Treasury-led liquidity management determine market outcomes
JPMorgan’s outlook reinforces that logic. China may not allow the yuan to strengthen meaningfully, but the interaction among tariffs, managed FX, and dollar liquidity still shapes the macro environment in which bitcoin trades.
According to JPMorgan Private Bank’s latest Asia outlook, China’s export engine remains resilient, with real exports on track to grow about 8% in 2025 and global market share rising to roughly 15%, despite a dense web of U.S. tariffs, and U.S.-bound exports from China dropping to below 10% of the total.
That resilience reflects diversification toward ASEAN and other regions, as well as a deliberate decision to tightly manage the yuan rather than allow it to appreciate.
The Chinese yuan has strengthened about 4% over the past year off its 2023 lows, but on a calendar-year basis in 2025 it is only marginally stronger against the dollar, underscoring how tightly managed and range-bound the currency remains.
Any recent yuan strength, the bank argues, is likely seasonal, with the medium-term outlook pointing to a stable, range-bound trajectory as policymakers prioritize export competitiveness and grapple with entrenched deflationary pressure.
The bank cautioned that the bar for meaningful yuan appreciation remains high, describing the currency as operating under a low-volatility management framework in which movements are largely dictated by the dollar.
For crypto markets, that framework shifts the focus away from sustained yuan appreciation and toward liquidity transmission.

XRP-focused crypto treasury firm Evernorth has submitted a Form S-4 registration statement to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in a process to go public through a business combination with special purpose acquisition company Armada Acquisition Corp. II.
The Wednesday filing shows that the combined entity will operate as Evernorth Holdings Inc. after the proposed merger, and is expected to list on Nasdaq under the ticker symbols XRPN for its Class A common stock and XRPNW for warrants.
The filing estimates that the merged entity will hold at least 473 million XRP at launch, including contributions from Ripple and open-market purchases funded by the merger proceeds. Previous reports stated that the merger transaction is expected to raise over $1 billion in gross proceeds, including investments from SBI, Ripple, Pantera Capital, Kraken, and GSR.
An S-4 filing is a preliminary registration statement required by the SEC for companies seeking to publicly register shares in connection with a business combination, such as a merger or acquisition.
Evernorth, established in 2025, is an institutional vehicle primarily holding and managing XRP as its core reserve asset. Its strategy includes acquiring XRP, participating in the XRP ecosystem, generating yield through lending and liquidity provisioning, operating validators on the XRP Ledger, and utilizing Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin for certain operations.
Evernorth is built to provide investors more than just exposure to XRP's price," Evernorth CEO Asheesh Birla said in an October statement. "As we capitalize on existing TradFi yield generation strategies and deploy into DeFi yield opportunities, we also contribute to the growth and maturity of that ecosystem. This approach is designed to generate returns for shareholders while supporting XRP's utility and adoption."
Meanwhile, Armada Acquisition Corp. II, completed its initial public offering in May 2025, raising approximately $230 million.
According to The Block's crypto price page, XRP is currently the fourth-largest cryptocurrency with a market capitalization of $89.6 billion. The cryptocurrency is trading at $1.46, down 4% in the past 24 hours, leading up to 10:30 p.m. ET.
