Binance Pool to Shut Down on November 10, 2026

October 13, 2026 — Binance says it will discontinue Binance Pool and related services at 07:00 UTC on November 10, 2026. Before that deadline, miners need to disconnect from Binance Pool and reconfigure their machines to use another pool. Mining shares sent to Binance Pool after the cutoff will not be accepted or credited. [Binance’s notice] What Binance is discontinuing The notice covers Binance Pool itself, along with Pool Savings, Cloud Mining and Transaction Accelerator. Binance also lists related features that include Telegram hashrate alerts, email notifications and mining pool API services. Binance says it expects Binance Pool to operate under normal conditions until the relevant cutoff times in the notice. At 07:00 UTC on November 10, Binance will start disconnecting mining connections and disable its mining Stratum URLs and endpoints. Hashrate submissions and mining shares after that time will no longer be accepted, processed or credited. Binance says eligible shares submitted before the cutoff will be included in the final reward calculation under the applicable pool rules. How to move hashrate from Binance Pool Hashrate is the computing work a miner contributes to a mining pool. Moving it means changing each miner’s pool connection so it sends work to a different provider. Binance’s notice does not select a replacement pool or give its connection settings; use the instructions from the pool you choose. Choose a compatible destination. Check that the new pool supports your mining equipment and the coin or mining algorithm you use. Get the new connection details. Follow the destination pool’s setup guide for its Stratum address and port, plus any worker name, account or password fields it requires. Update every miner before the deadline. Change the pool settings on each machine, including any backup or failover pool entries that still point to Binance. Test the connection. Before November 10 at 07:00 UTC, confirm the machines connect to the new pool and that it is receiving shares. Do not wait until the cutoff to troubleshoot. Save records and check separate products. Download reports or transaction history you may need. If you have an active Pool Savings position, Binance says to unsubscribe or redeem it before the service ends. Binance also asks users to make sure their accounts can receive any eligible remaining rewards, refunds or settlements and to complete any required identity-verification steps by November 10, 2026, at 23:59 UTC, to help timely processing. What happens to rewards and records? Binance says eligible outstanding rewards, balances, refunds or settlements will be processed after the service cutoff where applicable. Processing remains subject to product rules, account status, risk controls, compliance checks and applicable law. The announcement does not promise that every account will receive a payment; eligibility is determined under the Mining Pool Product Terms. Binance Pool pages are scheduled to remain available for viewing historical data, account records and payout status, where available, until November 24, 2026, at 07:00 UTC. After that, Binance says the pages will become permanently inaccessible. The company recommends saving relevant records where needed. Analysis: the key deadline is the UTC cutoff The practical risk for miners is leaving a machine configured to submit work to Binance after its endpoints are disabled. The announcement says that post-cutoff shares will not be credited. So the useful checkpoint is not simply the calendar date: miners need the replacement pool working before 07:00 UTC on November 10. A local clock may show a different date or hour. The extra two-week record-viewing period is separate from mining service availability. It does not extend the time for submitting shares to Binance Pool. Users who rely on Binance’s alerts or APIs may also need to arrange replacement monitoring, because those related services are included in the discontinuation notice. FAQs What happens to Binance Pool after November 10, 2026? At 07:00 UTC, Binance says its Pool-related services will stop. Mining connections and endpoints will be disabled, and later hashrate submissions and shares will not be accepted, processed or credited. When should I move my hashrate from Binance Pool? Reconfigure your miners to another pool before November 10, 2026, at 07:00 UTC. Binance says this is needed to avoid an interruption after the cutoff. How do I move hashrate from Binance Pool? Choose a compatible pool, use its setup instructions to update each miner’s pool address and worker details, and test that the new pool is receiving shares. Exact settings depend on the destination pool; Binance’s closure notice does not provide a replacement endpoint. Will Binance credit mining shares submitted after the cutoff? No. Binance says hashrate submissions and mining shares submitted after 07:00 UTC on November 10 will no longer be accepted, processed or credited. Eligible pre-cutoff shares are included in the final reward calculation under the applicable pool rules. Can I still view Binance Pool records after November 10? Yes, Binance says the Pool pages will remain accessible for historical data, account records and payout status, where available, until November 24, 2026, at 07:00 UTC. Save anything you need before access closes. What happens to outstanding rewards and Pool Savings? Eligible outstanding rewards, balances, refunds or settlements may be processed under the applicable product rules and account checks. Binance asks users with active Pool Savings positions to unsubscribe or redeem them before the service ends. Complete any required identity verification by November 10 at 23:59 UTC to facilitate timely processing. Conclusion Binance Pool’s announced cutoff is November 10, 2026, at 07:00 UTC. Miners should move each machine to a working alternative pool before that time, check Pool Savings and account requirements separately, and save needed records before Binance Pool pages close on November 24 at 07:00 UTC.

What If Bitcoin Falls? Jeonbuk Bank Bitcoin-Backed Loans

Seoul, South Korea — October 12, 2026 — Jeonbuk Bank has begun lending Korean won to corporate borrowers against Bitcoin collateral, but it has not publicly set out the price levels that would trigger a collateral call or sale, according to reports published Monday. What happens to the loan when Bitcoin falls? A lower BTC price reduces the value of the collateral while the amount owed does not fall with it. That pushes up the loan-to-value ratio, or LTV: the outstanding loan divided by the current collateral value. Interest and fees can also increase the balance due. For illustration only, a company borrowing 50 million won against Bitcoin worth 100 million won starts at a 50% LTV. If BTC falls 30%, the collateral is worth 70 million won and the LTV rises to about 71.4%, before interest or fees. These figures are not Jeonbuk Bank’s loan terms. The bank has not disclosed its opening LTV, any price or LTV trigger, a deadline to add collateral, or a mandatory sale threshold. IT Chosun reported that a bank spokesperson said the collateral-monitoring and recovery arrangements would be developed further as the rules change. On the information made public so far, a BTC price drop alone cannot be said to trigger an automatic sale. What Jeonbuk Bank has disclosed Edaily reported that the product is for companies seeking operating funds and accepts Bitcoin only. A specialist custodian holds the pledged BTC; Jeonbuk Bank is reported not to own or directly manage the coins. The bank says it uses a reference price based on weighted prices from multiple global exchanges and volatility indicators, and says it has stress-tested sharp falls. The bank has not released the test scenarios or results. The loans are for corporate borrowers and business operations, not a disclosed retail product. Bitcoin is the only collateral described in the reports. The first borrower’s identity and loan amount have not been disclosed. Default is different from a price dip Reports describe a recovery route in which the bank would enforce its security rights and seek sale proceeds through court procedures if a default or other enforcement event occurs. That is not the same as a published rule to sell BTC whenever its market price crosses a particular level. The public reports do not disclose the contract’s cure period, sale timetable, or how any shortfall would be treated if sale proceeds do not cover the debt. IT Chosun reported that the bank has made an actual loan, while the borrower’s identity remains private. The outlet also quoted the bank as saying it would refine monitoring and recovery systems. Until the bank publishes more detail, borrowers and lenders cannot calculate from the public information exactly when a falling BTC price would require action. Frequently Asked Questions What happens to a Bitcoin-backed loan if BTC falls? The collateral loses value while the loan balance remains, so the loan-to-value ratio rises. Will Jeonbuk Bank automatically sell the Bitcoin after a price drop? The reports do not disclose an automatic-sale rule or price trigger. They describe a court-based recovery process if a default or other enforcement event occurs. What loan-to-value ratio or margin-call threshold does the bank use? That information has not been made public in the reports reviewed. The opening loan-to-value ratio, collateral-call threshold, and time to add collateral are undisclosed. Who can apply for the loan? Reports describe loans for companies’ business operating funds, with Bitcoin as the eligible collateral. They do not describe a retail product. Who holds the pledged Bitcoin? A specialist custodian holds it, according to the reports. Jeonbuk Bank is reported not to own or directly manage the coins. What if selling the collateral does not cover the debt? The reports do not explain how a shortfall would be treated. The available public information does not establish whether it would be forgiven or remain payable.

China’s Security Ministry Warns Crypto Can Aid Espionage and Money Laundering

Beijing, China — September 28, 2026 — China’s Ministry of State Security warned that virtual currencies can be used in money laundering, cyberattacks and espionage, and said that crypto transactions are not truly anonymous. What happened In an article credited to the ministry’s official WeChat account, the ministry described virtual currency as a digital token that moves through online networks, often using blockchain technology. A blockchain is a shared digital record of transactions. The ministry said some people wrongly assume that using crypto instead of a bank account automatically removes the connection between a payment and the person who made it. The warning focused on the security risks the ministry associates with that assumption. It said virtual currencies can help criminals split, transfer and conceal illegal funds. The examples listed in the article included proceeds from telecommunications fraud, online gambling and cross-border smuggling. According to the ministry, moving funds through crypto can make it harder for ordinary financial controls to identify the source and destination of the money. The ministry also linked crypto to cybercrime. It said hackers and other attackers may use virtual currency when demanding ransom after ransomware attacks or network intrusions. In that situation, the digital payment is presented as a way for the attacker to receive money while attempting to conceal an identity. A third part of the warning concerned espionage. The ministry alleged that overseas intelligence agencies promote the idea that crypto transfers are difficult to verify in order to reduce the concerns of people they are attempting to recruit as spies. It said virtual currency may then be used to send funds to those recruits. These are allegations made by the ministry and are presented here as such. Three risks identified by the ministry Money laundering: The ministry said illegal proceeds can be divided and moved through crypto in an effort to avoid financial supervision and make the money appear legitimate. Cyberattacks: It said hackers may request crypto as ransom after ransomware or other network attacks because the payment can be sent online without a conventional bank transfer. Espionage: It alleged that overseas intelligence agencies may use crypto payments to help recruit sources and provide them with funds. The ministry presented these risks as connected to the way virtual currencies circulate online and to the belief that wallet addresses cannot be linked to real people. It did not say that every crypto user is involved in crime. Instead, it urged readers to recognize how the technology could be used by people engaged in illegal activity. Why the ministry says crypto is not anonymous The article challenged the phrase “anonymous transaction.” The ministry said transactions are recorded on a blockchain, which it described as public, transparent and resistant to later alteration. That means a transaction can leave a permanent record even when the record initially shows only a wallet address rather than a person’s name. Wallet addresses can look like strings of letters and numbers, so they may not immediately identify the individual controlling them. However, the ministry said additional information can appear when crypto is exchanged for government-issued currency or moved through trading platforms and payment interfaces. It specifically referred to traces such as device identifiers and internet protocol (IP) addresses. This does not mean that every wallet can automatically be connected to a named individual. It means that transaction records can be combined with information from exchanges, payment services and digital devices, according to the ministry. The ministry therefore called the belief in completely untraceable crypto transactions a “false proposition” and an illusion. Why it matters The statement is a security warning and an explanation of the ministry’s position. It is not evidence that every crypto transaction is criminal or that every wallet user can be identified. The ministry’s statements about criminal and espionage use should therefore be read as attributed government allegations rather than as independently established facts about every transaction. The warning is nevertheless significant because it brings cryptocurrency into the ministry’s public discussion of money laundering, cyberattacks and national-security threats. It also makes clear that the ministry wants people to reject the idea that crypto provides a guaranteed legal or financial safe haven. The South China Morning Post independently reported the warning on September 28. It said the ministry linked virtual currencies to money laundering and cyberattacks, called them“accomplices” in espionage, and argued that blockchain records make transactions harder to hide than users may assume. What happens next The ministry’s article did not announce a new deadline, investigation or implementation schedule. Instead, it repeated its warning about the risks of virtual currencies and told readers to protect themselves from schemes that combine crypto payments with requests for sensitive information or suspicious transfers. For suspected cases involving crypto as an inducement to provide confidential information or move questionable funds, the article listed China’s national security reporting hotline, 12339, and the online reporting platform at www.12339.gov.cn. It also referred readers to the Ministry of State Security’s official WeChat account or to local national-security authorities.

CFTC prediction-market rules reach White House review as states fight in court

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2, 2026 — The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has sent prediction-market rulemaking to the White House for review. The move marks another step in the ongoing debate over how event contracts should be regulated primarily by federal derivatives law or state gambling rules. Key facts An Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs record says the CFTC submitted a proposed rule titled “Further Definition of ‘Swap’ to Include Event Contracts.” The record lists Sept. 28, 2026, as the received date and identifies the action as a proposed rule. Independent reporting by The Block said the CFTC submitted two proposals: one concerning the definition of swaps and event contracts, and another intended to exclude casino-style gambling products. The report said the proposals were before OIRA, which reviews federal regulations before publication. The CFTC says it filed lawsuits in April against Arizona, Connecticut and Illinois, arguing that its authority over event contracts is exclusive and that state-by-state restrictions create a more fragmented regulatory framework. Information and Regulatory Affairs office The OIRA record establishes that at least one CFTC event-contract proposal had entered White House regulatory review. It does not, on its own, show that either proposal had been approved, published as a final rule or taken effect. According to the review, records identifies the swap-definition proposal as not economically significant and says it is subject to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The CFTC’s stated position is that event contracts traded on registered contract markets fall within its federal jurisdiction. In its April 2 release, the agency said states had attempted to outlaw, regulate or otherwise restrain CFTC-registered markets, and it described a national framework as preferable to a patchwork of state requirements. The CFTC also said it had issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking to clarify how its regulations apply to prediction markets. The legal conflict remains unsettled. The Hill reported that a federal appeals court in New Jersey blocked enforcement of state sports-gambling laws against Kalshi, while the Ninth Circuit later sided with Nevada regulators in a separate case involving Kalshi’s sports contracts. That split has helped push the question toward possible Supreme Court review, although the court has not agreed to hear the dispute. What happens next OIRA’s review is the confirmed next stage shown in the federal record. The CFTC proposals must still proceed through the federal rulemaking process before any final text, effective date or enforceable nationwide policy can be established. The state litigation and any related appellate or Supreme Court proceedings will continue separately.

BNB-Backed Loans Are Now Live: Here's How to Borrow Against BNB Without Selling in 2026

BNB holders can now access several live borrowing products without selling their tokens. Binance Loans offers crypto-backed lending, while Venus Protocol and Lista DAO provide on-chain borrowing routes on BNB Chain. The headline should be read as a description of available products rather than the announcement of one single, newly launched BNB-loan service. In each model, BNB or an eligible BNB-related asset is pledged as collateral and the borrower receives another supported asset. A fall in collateral value can trigger a margin call or liquidation. What BNB-backed loan products are available? Existing products are available, but eligibility and terms differ by platform, asset, account, jurisdiction, and quota. The main verified routes in 2026 include: Binance Loans: Binance’s official materials list BNB among supported assets and offer Lite Loan, Flexible Rate Loan, Fixed Rate Loan, and VIP Loan products. Venus Protocol: Users supply supported assets from a Web3 wallet and borrow other assets within the account’s borrowing limit. Lista DAO: Its official documentation describes borrowing USD1 or BNB against BNB or slisBNB through Smart Lending, subject to the product’s live conditions. How does Binance Loans work? Binance Loans uses a centralized, account-based model in which eligible digital assets are used as collateral. The platform’s current loan page identifies four product categories with different repayment and pricing structures. Lite Loan has a fixed 30-day term, a fixed one-time service fee, a capped loan amount, and product-specific overdue rules. Flexible Rate Loan has an open term, allows borrowing and repayment under the product rules, and accrues interest every minute at a floating rate. Fixed Rate Loan uses a locked rate over a selected term. Binance’s page lists available terms from 30 to 180 days, subject to the product’s current availability. Supported collateral and borrowable assets vary by product, token availability, and quota, so the live Loan Data and product pages remain decisive. What are the DeFi alternatives on BNB Chain? Venus requires users to connect a Web3 wallet, supply supported assets, and borrow within the account’s collateral-based borrowing limit. Its documentation explains that supply caps and pool risk parameters can affect availability. It also states that under-collateralized positions may be liquidated, with collateral seized to repay debt. Lista DAO’s Smart Lending documentation says users can deposit BNB or slisBNB as liquid provision and borrow USD1 or BNB against it while earning trading fees from BNB/slisBNB activity on Smart Swap. This is a specific product mechanism, not a guarantee that every BNB position qualifies. What should borrowers understand before using BNB as collateral? The central risk is that keeping BNB does not protect it from forced sale. If BNB’s market value falls, the collateral ratio can worsen even when the number of BNB tokens remains unchanged. Interest or service fees increase the amount that must be repaid. What is the current status of BNB-backed borrowing? BNB-backed borrowing is live through established products, but the terms are not universal and can change. Before borrowing, users should confirm whether BNB is currently accepted as collateral, identify the exact interest or fee structure, review the initial and liquidation LTV thresholds, and understand the repayment process. The 2026 takeaway is straightforward: BNB can unlock liquidity without an immediate sale, but the arrangement creates a collateralized debt position that closes only when the debt and applicable charges are repaid.

Hyperliquid to Enable Permissionless Prediction Markets in Upcoming HIP-4 Upgrade

Hyperliquid is preparing an upgrade that would let outside builders create prediction markets on the network, extending HIP-4 beyond its current validator-controlled launch. The planned change is aimed at opening the platform’s outcome-market system to permissionless deployment. Hyperliquid says the feature will arrive on testnet first and later move to mainnet, although it has not published a final mainnet release date. From Validator Markets to Open Deployment HIP-4 went live on Hyperliquid’s mainnet in May and introduced “outcome trading,” a contract design for markets that resolve within a fixed range. Prediction markets are one application of the primitive, alongside bounded options-like products. At present, the available markets remain under validator authority. The forthcoming enhancement would allow anyone who meets the deployment requirements to launch a market, provided the contract follows templates approved by validators. Existing validator-created markets will not disappear, but Hyperliquid expects them to become the exception rather than the norm. The structure gives builders room to launch contracts while templates establish baseline rules for definitions, settlement and market behavior. How HIP-4 Contracts Work Unlike leveraged perpetual futures, HIP-4 outcome contracts are fully collateralized. A typical binary market has a Yes side and a No side, with prices generally representing the market’s implied probability. At settlement, one side converts to the quote asset and the other side expires without value. There is no leverage or liquidation process in the basic design. Settlement occurs automatically through Hyperliquid’s trading infrastructure, rather than requiring users to submit a separate redemption transaction. The system also supports “questions” that link several outcomes, allowing exactly one result to settle as Yes while the others settle as No. The first mainnet product was a recurring Bitcoin price binary that settles daily against HyperCore’s BTC mark price. Hyperliquid’s documentation says additional markets and features are being introduced in stages, making the permissionless deployment layer a further step in the rollout rather than the initial HIP-4 launch itself. Stakes and Safeguards Builders seeking to deploy permissionless prediction markets will be required to stake 500,000 HYPE. That stake can be slashed if a validator vote finds that a market was poorly defined or settled incorrectly. The requirement gives the network a financial penalty to apply when a deployer’s design or operation threatens the reliability of the contract. Rollout: Testnet first, followed by a later mainnet deployment. Eligibility: Markets must use validator-approved templates. Economic requirement: Deployers must stake 500,000 HYPE. Builder revenue: Deployers may receive up to 50% of trading-fee revenue. Validator-controlled markets will remain available for unusual events, but Hyperliquid has indicated that ideally fewer than 10 would be created each year. A New Contest in Prediction Markets The move puts Hyperliquid more directly alongside Polymarket and Kalshi, the two best-known venues in the growing prediction-market sector. Hyperliquid’s distinction is infrastructure: HIP-4 operates within the same on-chain trading environment as the network’s spot and perpetual markets, giving crypto-native users a route to trade event outcomes without moving to a separate platform. The next milestone is testnet. Until then, permissionless deployment remains planned while validator-curated HIP-4 markets operate on mainnet.

US Launches New Economic Sanctions Against Iran

The United States has launched a new sanctions campaign against Iran, targeting individuals, entities and vessels linked to military procurement, cyber operations, oil trading and other activities. The Treasury Department said the measures, announced on August 24, form part of an operation called “Economic Outcast.” The action combines new designations by the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control with sectoral sanctions determinations and changes to several existing general licenses. The State Department separately announced sanctions against networks it said were connected to Iranian military activity, cyber threats and illicit oil trade. What do the new U.S. sanctions target? The Treasury Department said OFAC sanctioned nearly 60 entities, individuals and vessels operating across multiple jurisdictions. The department identified networks involved in the procurement of nuclear and missile technology, cyber operations and the generation of oil revenue for the Iranian regime. OFAC also issued five sectoral sanctions determinations covering areas that Washington says Iran uses to support its economy and evade pressure: Digital assets Technology Gold Aviation Shipping The determinations were issued under Executive Order 13902. Treasury said they expand the authority to sanction foreign persons operating in, or providing services in support of, the designated sectors. How are the measures linked to Iran’s military and cyber activities? The State Department said its designations included Iranian military officials involved in weapons procurement and attacks against U.S. personnel and regional partners. The measures also covered Iran-based entities accused of gathering intelligence for targeting operations and a procurement network connected to Iran’s military and missile programs. A regime-directed cyber group was also included in the action. The State Department said the cyber-related measures were coordinated with the FBI, which had announced indictments the previous week against eight Iranian nationals tied to hacking activity affecting U.S. energy companies, defense contractors, healthcare institutions and government offices. What changes were made to existing permissions? OFAC suspended several general licenses that had previously authorized certain remittance payments to Iran and Iranian access to parts of the U.S. cultural and academic system. The Treasury Department also issued guidance on sanctions risks associated with shipping-related demands involving the Strait of Hormuz. The State Department said its designations were made under Executive Orders 13846 and 13949, while the Treasury action used additional sanctions authorities. The measures therefore combine restrictions aimed at specific people, companies and vessels with broader sector-based exposure for foreign businesses that continue operating in designated areas. What happens next? The administration said it would continue targeting Iran’s military and proliferation activities, procurement networks, cyber operations and illicit oil trade. The immediate effect of the announcement is to increase sanctions risk for organizations and intermediaries connected to the named sectors and networks. The announcements do not establish that Iranian trade has stopped or quantify the campaign’s economic impact. Businesses with exposure to Iran will need to review the new designations, sectoral determinations, suspended permissions and related compliance guidance before conducting transactions involving the country.

White House Crypto Summit Today: Trump Meets Coinbase, Ripple & Industry CEOs Amid Push for Regulatory Clarity

President Donald Trump meets the chief executives of Coinbase, Ripple and other major crypto and prediction-market firms at a White House gathering today, as the industry turns to the executive branch for answers that Congress has failed to deliver. The stalled Digital Asset Market Clarity Act has left regulators, not lawmakers, holding the pen on the rules that will govern digital assets. Who Is in the Room The meeting takes place at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building next to the White House, a day before the inaugural session of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's new Innovation Advisory Committee. The committee's crypto roster reads like a roll call of the industry: Brian Armstrong of Coinbase, Brad Garlinghouse of Ripple, along with the leaders of Gemini, Robinhood, Polymarket and Kalshi. They are joined by heads of traditional finance heavyweights including CME Group, Nasdaq, Intercontinental Exchange and the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation. CFTC Chairman Mike Selig is on the roster, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick may also attend. Tomorrow's committee session in Washington is titled "Crypto's Regulatory Evolution: From Uncertainty to Clarity," with the agenda citing the remaining challenges to a durable federal market structure. Why the Summit Matters Now The gathering lands at a moment of legislative gridlock. The Clarity Act — the bill that would define which tokens count as securities, which count as commodities, and which agencies police them — has stalled in the Senate with little time left to reach a deal before the new Congress takes over next year. The crypto industry has spent hundreds of millions of dollars lobbying for exactly this framework and is now running out of runway. Into that vacuum step Trump's regulators: The SEC is developing a rule that would exempt certain token offerings from securities registration, expected to advance in the coming weeks The CFTC approved the first regulated perpetual bitcoin futures in May and is expected to green-light more perpetual products for additional assets The Treasury issued a proposed rule on implementing the GENIUS Act stablecoin law this week Industry Reaction: Relief and Caution Advocates welcome the shift. The executive director of the Solana Policy Institute described the agencies as ready to act given that Congress has been unable to do so, and the Blockchain Association's chief executive called the regulators' work helpful while warning that the industry still needs something permanent. That caveat cuts to the core problem: agency rules can be rewritten by a future administration and fought out in court, whereas only legislation creates a durable framework. CME Group already sued the CFTC in June over perpetual futures, and a major Wall Street trade group has urged the SEC to restrict blockchain-based stock trading. Traders appear to be betting on momentum. Bitcoin climbed past $64,000 ahead of the summit, buoying sentiment around the legislative and regulatory push. What Happens Next The immediate calendar is crowded: today's White House meeting, Thursday's CFTC committee inaugural, and the Senate's Clarity Act timetable, which now looks increasingly unlikely to produce a vote before year's end. If the bill dies, 2027 becomes the testing ground for whether Trump-era crypto rules can survive midterm politics, polls suggest Democrats may retake the House in November and put agency rulemakings under scrutiny. For the CEOs at the White House today, the message is unambiguous: regulatory clarity is coming, but the president's agencies, not Congress, will write the first draft.
