: Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong posted on X platform on July 27, urging the U.S. Senate to advance the vote on the CLARITY Act, stating that the bill was formed through years of bipartisan negotiations. Armstrong stated that the CLARITY Act would strengthen law enforcement powers, introduce new consumer protections, and provide a federal regulatory framework for the digital asset industry. He noted that there are currently no federal laws in the U.S. that protect consumers or support the development of the industry within the country. On July 22, U.S. Senate Republicans released an updated version of the CLARITY Act text, covering disclosure standards, registration requirements, anti-fraud provisions, and expanded anti-money laundering obligations for digital asset market participants. BlackRock, Fidelity Investments, Charles Schwab, and Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon have expressed support for the bill.

Odaily Odaily: Securitize shares are expected to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday under the ticker symbol SECZ. Securitize is a tokenization company backed by BlackRock, which has assisted companies like BlackRock in issuing securities on-chain. Securitize President Brett Redfearn stated that bringing real-world assets on-chain allows investors to control assets in digital form and reduces intermediaries in traditional businesses. Using stock lending as an example, he noted that Robinhood currently retains approximately 85% of the related revenue, while Charles Schwab splits the revenue evenly with users. Redfearn believes that DeFi can offer investors in the tokenized securities ecosystem more ways to utilize assets, but such growth also depends on development by external builders. Robinhood is expected to launch a new product on Wednesday; previously, Compass Point analyst Ed Engel suggested that it may include tokenized stocks compatible with DeFi.

According to a research report by Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), the Bitcoin collateralized loan market has completed its reconstruction after experiencing the successive collapses of BlockFi, Celsius, and Genesis in 2022, and the current ecosystem places greater emphasis on collateral transparency and risk management. In Q1 2026, the total crypto collateralized loan volume reached $67 billion, a year-over-year increase of approximately 50%. Several major US banks have already offered Bitcoin collateralized credit lines to select clients, with JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, Citi, Charles Schwab, and Morgan Stanley all having entered the market. In February this year, Canadian digital asset lending company Ledn completed the issuance of $188 million in Bitcoin collateralized ABS, receiving a BBB investment-grade rating from S&P Global, marking the first Bitcoin collateralized securitized product approved by a major rating agency.

According to an official announcement, the Chicago Board Options Exchange (Cboe) has launched the first products under its Cboe Predicts prediction market suite, including binary options contracts based on the Mini S&P 500 Index (XSP), with ticker symbols XSPBW and XSPBX. These products are now available on Interactive Brokers and are scheduled to be rolled out to additional retail brokerage platforms—including Charles Schwab—over the coming months.

This move, part of a collaboration with Cboe Global Markets, is expected to launch within months, marking the company’s debut in prediction markets.
CJ Hetherington, co-founder and CEO of prediction market platform Limitless Labs, stated that he does not believe the prediction market industry will see a single dominant monopoly player. He draws a parallel to the offshore perpetual contract market, where even leading platforms have never long-term held over 90% market share. Core trading volume in the derivatives market comes from market makers and high-frequency traders, who typically operate across multiple platforms to exploit spreads for arbitrage, structurally limiting market concentration.CJ Hetherington cited Binance’s perpetual contracts as an example, noting that its market share once approached 50% but was gradually diverted by other trading platforms, leading to a multi-platform coexistence pattern. He argues that prediction markets will follow a similar path rather than a "winner-takes-all" outcome.Hetherington pointed out that future industry distribution will primarily be conducted through brokers and futures commission merchants, with institutions like Robinhood, Interactive Brokers, and Charles Schwab competing in distribution. Fees and marketing will become the core of consumer-side competition. However, the U.S. regulatory framework is an "advantage rather than an obstacle" for the prediction market industry, as CFTC oversight helps reduce contract disputes, enhance transparency, and is also more suitable for institutional participation.

Eric Trump, son of U.S. President Donald Trump and co-founder of American Bitcoin, stated at the Consensus conference that the attitude of traditional financial institutions towards Bitcoin is undergoing a shift. Citing JPMorgan Chase as an example, he noted that 18 months ago, the institution was still "belittling" Bitcoin, yet now it allows customers to use their Bitcoin holdings as collateral to apply for home loans.Eric Trump also mentioned that traditional financial institutions such as Merrill Lynch and Charles Schwab have begun to embrace Bitcoin. He stated that these institutions have realized they can no longer fight against industry trends and have thus started to pivot towards supporting the Bitcoin ecosystem. He also revealed that American Bitcoin's current goal is to become the lowest-cost acquirer of Bitcoin in the industry. (CoinDesk)

Odaily Bernstein stated in a research report that the cryptocurrency market is currently showing signs of fundamental strengthening. Analysts pointed out that Bitcoin has formed a bottom near $60,000 and is now advancing toward the $80,000 mark. Institutional capital inflows, MicroStrategy's continued accumulation of Bitcoin through STRC products, and the deep integration of blockchain with financial infrastructure collectively create an asymmetric upside potential.Bernstein emphasized that new distribution channels from Morgan Stanley's Bitcoin ETF and Charles Schwab's spot trading platform have broadened participation. Currently, approximately 60% of Bitcoin's supply has not moved in over a year, with institutional demand reinforcing its holding base. Additionally, stablecoin supply has reached a record high of $300 billion, with its payment and settlement demand decoupling from market sentiment. The tokenized real-world asset sector has grown 110% year-over-year to $345 billion. Although quantum computing poses a long-term risk, analysts believe the industry has ample time to undergo a secure transition.

According to The Block, Bernstein analysts stated in their latest report that the fundamentals of the crypto market are continuously improving. Bitcoin’s recent low of $60,000 has formed a clear bottom, and with the current price approaching $80,000, a longer-term structural bull market is likely, driven by institutional demand. Bernstein analyst Gautam Chhugani highlighted the following key drivers: • Ongoing expansion of institutional channels: Morgan Stanley’s Bitcoin ETF and Charles Schwab’s spot Bitcoin/Ethereum trading platform have both recently launched; approximately 60% of Bitcoin supply has remained unmoved for over one year, indicating a stabilizing holder structure; • Persistent accumulation by Strategy: Its STRC perpetual preferred stock product has attracted yield-oriented investors, and its current holdings stand at 818,334 BTC; • Stablecoin demand hits an all-time high: Stablecoin supply has surpassed $30 billion, decoupling from the crypto market’s price cycle and reflecting sustained real-world payment and settlement demand; • Tokenized real-world assets accelerating growth: Tokenized private credit and Treasury assets now total $34.5 billion, representing a 110% year-on-year increase. Bernstein also cautioned that quantum computing poses a long-term potential risk, though it expects the blockchain ecosystem to have ample time to complete the transition to post-quantum security.
