The stablecoin yield fight has once again consumed the CLARITY Act debate on Capitol Hill, and the cost of that consumption is now measurable.The bill stalled in January when Coinbase objected to its terms, a White House meeting in February failed to break the deadlock, and by March, the calendar itself had become a credible threat to passage.Punchbowl’s latest report suggested Coinbase representatives told the Senate they still could not support the newest stablecoin-yield compromise. But the signal is less definitive than January’s break: Brian Armstrong has not publicly restated his opposition to the new text, and White House crypto…
Nasdaq’s tokenisation strategy could create parallel trading systems, splitting liquidity across traditional and blockchain-based venues. TD Securities warns this may lead to pricing inconsistencies for the same stocks across different platforms. Growing adoption of tokenised equities, led by platforms like Kraken, signals broader structural changes in market infrastructure. Nasdaq’s moves to integrate tokenisation into equity markets could split trading across traditional and blockchain-based systems, potentially reshaping how stocks are priced, TD Securities said. The firm warned this may create parallel venues where identical securities trade at different values. Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange are incorporating tokenisation into alternative…
Irish authorities accessed a previously locked Bitcoin wallet containing 500 BTC tied to criminal proceeds.

Gold ETFs recorded approximately US$11 billion in outflows in the first three weeks of March, led by SPDR Gold Shares’ record US$7 billion (AU$10.07 billion) monthly redemption. JPMorgan analyst Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou noted that gold’s market liquidity has “deteriorated below bitcoin’s for the first time,” marking a historic shift in relative market depth. Gold has fallen roughly 15% from its January record near US$5,500 per ounce, while Bitcoin stabilised around US$69,000 after an initial drawdown when the Iran conflict began on Feb. 28. Bitcoin (BTC) held up better than gold and silver during the Iran conflict, as heavy outflows from precious…

Bitcoin continues to face headwinds, with ongoing tensions in the Iran conflict and the macro outlook key.

Rep. Adrian Smith (R-NE) and Rep. Nikki Budzinski (D-IL) introduced the PREDICT Act on March 25, targeting federal officials, their spouses, and dependents who trade on platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket.

A bipartisan bill introduced on March 25 would bar senior federal officials and their families from trading on prediction markets linked to political events…
