Bitcoin is doing just fine.

🇺🇸 CLARITY ACT COULD REACH SENATE FLOOR NEXT WEEK, SAYS HOUSE REP. BRYAN STEIL House Financial Services Committee Chairman Bryan Steil said he’s optimistic the Senate will bring the CLARITY Act to the floor as soon as next week, arguing the legislation would finally provide long-awaited regulatory clarity for digital assets in the U.S. Speaking ahead of today’s New York field hearing, Steil said the bill would establish a framework that protects consumers, distinguishes legitimate companies from bad actors, and helps attract both financial and human capital to the United States. He also dismissed ethics-related objections, saying those concerns are another reason to pass clear digital asset rules.

ELIZABETH WARREN DEMANDS TRUMP DISCLOSE CRYPTO HOLDINGS WITHIN ONE WEEK Sen. Elizabeth Warren is demanding that President Donald Trump voluntarily disclose his crypto earnings and holdings from Jan. 1 through July 15, giving him until July 23 to comply. In a July 16 letter, the ranking member of the Senate Banking Committee argued that Congress cannot fairly debate cryptocurrency legislation while the president’s financial exposure to the industry remains only partially disclosed. The request comes as the Senate considers the CLARITY Act, legislation that would establish a comprehensive regulatory framework for digital asset markets by defining which assets fall under SEC or CFTC oversight and creating clearer rules for exchanges and token issuers. Warren argues lawmakers need an up-to-date picture of Trump’s crypto interests before advancing legislation that could directly affect the value of those holdings. According to Warren, the concern is not simply that the president owns digital assets, but that legislation currently before Congress could materially benefit businesses and investments connected to the president while those interests remain only partially disclosed.

🇺🇸 BITCOIN STRATEGIC RESERVE SET FOR CONGRESSIONAL DISCUSSION TODAY The House’s CLARITY Act field hearing in New York will also include discussion of H.R. 8957, the American Reserve Modernization Act (ARMA), the bill that would establish a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. The proposal would authorize the Treasury to acquire bitcoin through budget-neutral mechanisms, rather than new taxpayer spending, while requiring regular audits, secure custody standards, and transparency around the government’s bitcoin holdings. Supporters argue ARMA would treat bitcoin as a long-term strategic reserve asset alongside other national reserves, strengthening the U.S.’s position in the emerging digital asset economy. Today’s hearing is focused on how the CLARITY Act could unlock digital asset innovation, but the inclusion of ARMA on the agenda signals that congressional discussion around a federal Bitcoin reserve continues to gain momentum.

🇨🇳 CHINA MAY TREAT CRYPTO MIXERS AS MONEY LAUNDERING RED FLAGS Senior Chinese legal scholars and prosecutors are calling for a sweeping overhaul of how the country investigates and prosecutes cryptocurrency-related money laundering, arguing that Bitcoin, stablecoins, mixers, privacy coins, and decentralized exchanges have outpaced existing laws. The proposal highlights three major weaknesses in China’s current framework: difficulty charging offenders under existing statutes, challenges collecting and authenticating blockchain evidence, and obstacles recovering crypto assets moved across borders. Among the recommendations are expanding money laundering investigations, requiring blockchain forensic analysis in criminal cases, recognizing on-chain data as admissible evidence, allowing courts to infer criminal intent from the use of mixers, privacy coins, and anonymous wallets, and giving investigators broader authority to conduct blockchain surveillance and technical investigations. The paper also calls for a national platform to seize, custody, value, and liquidate confiscated crypto assets, along with stronger international cooperation to trace, freeze, and recover digital assets transferred overseas.

BITCOIN POLICY INSTITUTE MOVES TO INTERVENE IN ‘ABANDONED BITCOIN’ LAWSUIT The Bitcoin Policy Institute (BPI) has filed a motion to intervene in the New York “Abandoned Bitcoin” case, where an anonymous plaintiff, “Noah Doe,” is seeking a court declaration granting legal ownership of allegedly abandoned Bitcoin, including coins widely believed to belong to Satoshi Nakamoto. If granted, BPI would become an intervenor-defendant, allowing it to participate directly in the case. Court filings argue the nonprofit has a strong public interest in the outcome given its work on Bitcoin policy and civil liberties.
