US Senate Banking Committee votes to advance CLARITY Act

The US Senate Banking Committee voted to advance the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY), a major crypto market structure bill, after a contentious markup featuring more than 100 proposed amendments on issues ranging from stablecoin yield to ethics and money laundering. The bill passed out of committee with all 13 Republicans and two Democrats voting yes, while nine Democrats opposed it, as supporters argued it would protect consumers and keep innovation in the US and critics led by Sen. Elizabeth Warren said it was written to benefit the crypto industry and could enable conflicts of interest tied to President Trump. With related committee work addressing SEC and CFTC oversight, CLARITY is expected to move to a Senate floor vote, where it will need 60 votes before heading to the House.

Polish lawmakers back revised crypto bill after repeated vetoes

Polish lawmakers passed a revised, Ministry of Finance-backed crypto bill in a 241–200 vote to align Poland with the EU’s MiCA rules, after President Karol Nawrocki vetoed two earlier versions. The bill would give the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) broad oversight powers, including administrative sanctions and the ability to temporarily block accounts and transactions. Critics say controversial blocking provisions remain largely intact and expect another veto, risking continued regulatory uncertainty ahead of MiCA-related deadlines. The debate is also intensified by a fraud probe involving Zondacrypto and political allegations about foreign influence and delayed investor protections.

THORChain pauses trading after suspected $10M exploit

THORChain paused trading and signing after blockchain investigator ZachXBT flagged a suspected exploit exceeding $10 million across Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Chain and Base. Alerts indicated a global node pause for roughly 13 hours, while an Arkham-labeled “exploiter” wallet held about $10.8 million moved in rapid transactions; THORChain had not publicly confirmed the incident at publication. The news weighed on RUNE, which fell about 13% to around $0.51, adding to a steep year-long decline, and underscored broader DeFi security concerns amid a surge in April hacking losses.

Bitcoin stalls above $80K despite CLARITY Act pass: What will trigger a breakout?

Bitcoin’s jump to around $82,000 after the Senate Banking Committee advanced the CLARITY Act has stalled at heavy resistance. Analysts say a real trend shift needs BTC to break and hold above the converging 200-day EMA/SMA near $82,000, with additional supply overhead around $84,000–$85,400 and strong sell pressure visible in the $82,000–$83,000 zone.

A breakout could depend on renewed institutional demand, which has weakened as spot Bitcoin ETF flows turned negative after a brief inflow streak. Recent ETF outflows included a $269 million drop on May 7 and a $635 million withdrawal on Wednesday, the largest since late January; analysts argue consistent inflows must return to sustain a move higher. Corporate buying has picked up slightly but remains below mid-2025 levels, with Strategy among the few steady buyers after adding 535 BTC last week.
