Washington Pushes Crypto Forward | This Week in Crypto
Crypto regulation moved back to center stage in Washington this week. President Trump met with crypto and traditional finance executives to push the CLARITY Act forward, while the SEC proposed a parallel framework that could give token projects a clearer path to raise capital and launch in the United States even if Congress moves slowly.
We also look at the U.S. Treasury’s decision to double the size of long-dated bond buybacks, why markets interpreted the move as incrementally easier financial conditions, and the backdrop to Bitcoin’s rally from roughly $63,000 to above $79,000 during the week.
