The CLARITY Act, SEC/CFTC shifts, and State Legislation
On May 14, the Senate Banking Committee passed the CLARITY Act with a 15-9 vote. This landmark bill establishes a three-tier asset classification system, handing jurisdiction over "Digital Commodities" (like BTC, ETH) to the CFTC, while the SEC regulates "Digital Securities."
"Target is to pass this by July 4th as a birthday gift to the nation." — Patrick Witt, White House Crypto Advisor.

How global conflicts and diplomacy shape the crypto market
Institutional adoption dominates as散户 activity drops. ETFs saw massive outflows ($22.6B in mid-May) before stabilizing. MicroStrategy continues aggressive accumulation despite volatility.
Market sentiment swung wildly with US-Iran negotiations. Bitcoin briefly surged to $76,655 on hopes of a deal, but "self-defense" airstrikes on May 26 sent prices reeling back below $76k.
President Trump's visit to Beijing aimed to build "Constructive Strategic Stability." While no direct crypto deal was signed, the reduction in geopolitical tension initially boosted risk appetite. However, the divergence in digital currency paths (US Stablecoins vs. China's CBDC) remains a key long-term narrative.
