Coinbase Backs CLARITY Act Compromise Banning Passive Stablecoin Yield

Odds of Clarity Act Signing Into Law in 2026.   Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal said the months of meetings produced text that should not derail the broader bill, arguing public debate had overstated the actual risks.  “This outcome preserves activity-based rewards tied to real participation on crypto platforms and networks, which is what the bank lobby said they wanted,” he wrote in a post.  Faryar Shirzad, Coinbases chief policy officer, separately credited progress on token classification, DeFi safe harbors, and tokenization in the broader deal.  The final rewards text in the CLARITY Act is now public.  Weve been clear throughout this process: much of this debate was based on imagined risks, not real evidence, nor was it based on a real understanding of how crypto actually works.  With yield resolved, attention shifts to jurisdictional clarity between the SEC and CFTC, staking protections, and capital formation rules.  These provisions holding through floor consideration will shape the timeline into summer.

SEC schedules CLARITY Act roundtable in May

The US Securities and Exchange Commission has scheduled a CLARITY Act roundtable for May, bringing together SEC and CFTC officials with crypto industry representatives to debate digital asset market structure jurisdiction, one of the final regulatory steps before the Senate Banking Committees expected markup the week of May 11.The SEC roundtable on the CLARITY Act is set for May 2026 and will address the central jurisdictional question of whether specific digital assets are regulated by the SEC or the CFTC under the proposed market structure framework.Senator Tim Scott confirmed he has now secured Tillis and additional Republican votes for the markup, but Senator John Kennedy continues to withhold support, leaving the goal of 13 of 13 Republican votes unmet.Senator Thom Tillis separately raised a new hurdle: law enforcement groups oppose a DeFi provision in the bill that would protect developers from liability for users illicit activities on their platforms, adding a fresh unresolved issue to the calendar.  The SEC roundtable follows the agency‘s March 17 joint taxonomy with the CFTC, which named 16 digital assets as commodities and provided the framework that the CLARITY Act would convert into permanent federal statute. CoinGape reported that the SEC plans to host the roundtable

VET Technical Analysis May 2

VETs 24-hour trading volume is moving at low levels of 7.41 million dollars; this situation indicates that the price movement in the sideways trend is supported by weak market participation and carries potential accumulation signals. The decrease in volume may indicate that big players are quietly strengthening their positions, while volume confirmation is awaited for an upside breakout.  Volume Profile and Market Participation  VET‘s current volume profile shows quite low market participation with a 24-hour trading volume of 7.41 million dollars. This level is significantly below recent weekly averages and weakly confirms the price’s sideways movement around 0.01 dollars. Low volume indicates reduced interest from retail investors, while providing clues that large players at the institutional level (whales) are quietly managing their positions. In the volume profile, the price holding above EMA20 (0.01 dollars) is a healthy short-term signal, but since overall participation is low, the sustainability of this upside will be tested with volume increase.  In terms of market participation, the 1.10% daily change upward occurred with low volume; this signals that buyers are not dominant and sellers are not panic-selling. Volume declines are observed even in down moves on volume bars, reflecting a healthy consolidation process. However, with RSI at 50.49

MORPHO Technical Analysis May 2

Despite the current uptrend in MORPHO, the Supertrend bearish signal and RSI at 60.72 indicate overbought risk; investors should monitor the $1.96 support breakdown and use tight stop losses for capital protection. The risk/reward ratio is balanced at approximately 1:1, but a cautious approach is necessary due to the higher score of the bearish target (31).  Market Volatility and Risk Environment  MORPHOs current price is at $1.98, showing a -0.45% decline over the last 24 hours. The daily range of $1.96-$2.00 indicates low volatility; this signals short-term consolidation but creates sensitivity to sudden breakouts. Volatility is low based on ATR (Average True Range), but general crypto market fluctuations can cause BTC movements to lead to 5-10% swings in altcoins. Although the uptrend continues, the Supertrend being bearish and EMAs only short-term bullish (above EMA20 at $1.90) increases the risk of trend reversal. RSI at 60.72 is neutral-bullish, but approaching 70 could trigger overbought pressure. In MTF analysis, the 1D timeframe has 6 strong levels (4 support/2 resistance); the lack of levels in 3D and 1W indicates long-term uncertainty. Investors should not underestimate volatility: With low volume ($6.51M), liquidity risk is high, and slippage can occur in sudden sell-offs. Measure volatility with ATR

MiCA Decoded: Why the Regulator Sees Your Compliance Team as a Single Brain

MiCA Decoded is a 12-article weekly series for News, co-authored by LegalBisons Co-Founding and Managing Directors: Aaron Glauberman, Viktor Juskin and Sabir Alijev. LegalBison advises and FinTech companies on MiCA licensing, CASP and VASP applications, and regulatory structuring across Europe and beyond.The Myth: Outsourcing a Compliance Officer Is Enough  When founders begin planning for crypto-assets services providers (CASP) authorization, the conversation almost always arrives at the same moment: “So, do we need to hire a compliance officer?”  Sometimes the question comes with a follow-up: “And a Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO)? Is that it?”  The answer to both is yes. But treating those two appointments as the finish line is the most common and consequential misreading of what MiCA actually demands from a compliance function.  Regulators are not checking whether the org chart has the right job titles. They are assessing whether the management body, as a whole unit, has the knowledge architecture, the structural independence, and the documented operational depth to run a regulated financial institution. A MiCA license is not issued to a person. It is issued to an organism.  This distinction sits at the heart of why so many early-stage applications stall or require significant rework before a National Competent Authority (NCA)

Riot Q1: Data Center Shone with 33.2M$ Revenue

Riot Platforms materialized its move away from Bitcoin mining by reporting 33.2 million dollars in revenue from data center operations in the first quarter. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) announced in the companys earnings report that it has increased the capacity contract to 50 megawatts, with this development standing out. While total revenue reached 167.2 million dollars, the mining segment declined, and the data center segment supported revenue by 20%. Riot executed sales of 3.778 BTC but continues to hold 15.679 BTC; this asset is worth nearly 1.2 billion dollars at current prices and ranks seventh among public companies. This strategy reflects a shift toward AI infrastructure demand amid declining mining profitability post-halving.  Riot Platforms Q1 Revenue Breakdown  The companys total revenue of 167.2 million dollars was supported by the rise of the data center.

Solana Price Prediction: SOL Faces $106 Breakout Test

SOL price is trying to recover after a sharp move lower, but two chart signals show the market still faces pressure. A liquidation heatmap shows short positions building near the $84 to $87 zone, while a separate SOL chart places the next major bullish trigger at $106.  For now, SOL trades near a key support area around $80 to $90. If buyers defend that range, the price could first move toward the upper liquidity cluster near $84 to $87. However, SOL still needs a clear break above $106 before the chart can show stronger bullish momentum again.  SOL Liquidation Heatmap Shows Short Pressure Building Near $84  The SOL liquidation heatmap shows price recovering toward the $84 area after a sharp drop near April 30. The chart shows a large liquidity cluster above the current price, mainly between about $84 and $87. Because of that, CWs post suggests that short positions may now face pressure after the earlier long liquidation.  SOL Liquidation Heatmap. Source:  SOL first moved down from the $87 area and swept lower liquidity near $81. After that move, price rebounded and started moving back toward the nearest upper liquidity zone. This matters because liquidation heatmaps show where leveraged positions may get forced out
