REGULATORY CLARITY 🏦

BREAKING: Senate Ag Releases Long-Awaited Version of Crypto Market Structure Legislation

After years of debate, Washington is finally moving toward clear crypto regulation.

On Monday, the Senate Agriculture Committee released its long-awaited draft bill.

This is the first concrete step toward defining how the CFTC and SEC will share oversight of the crypto market.

The 155-page draft gives the CFTC new authority over spot digital commodities like Bitcoin while directing the agency to coordinate with the SEC on joint rulemaking.

It builds on the House’s Clarity Act and aims to close the regulatory gaps that have left the industry in limbo.

Senator John Boozman said:

“The CFTC is the right agency to regulate spot digital commodity trading, and it is essential to establish clear rules for the emerging crypto market while also protecting consumers.”

But the bill isn’t finished yet…

Dozens of sections remain in brackets, signalling unresolved issues, including:

  • How to fund the CFTC

  • How to treat DeFi protocols

  • And how to address potential conflicts of interest tied to President Trump’s crypto ventures

Still, the industry sees progress.

Crypto Council for Innovation CEO Ji Hun Kim called it:

"Meaningful positive progress… Momentum continues to build for clear, risk-based rules that promote innovation, protect consumers, and strengthen U.S. competitiveness."

If this makes it through, it will set up the first unified crypto framework vote in U.S. history, potentially in early 2026.

The path ahead won’t be smooth - with Democrats divided over Trump’s involvement and DeFi language still up in the air - but the direction is clear:

Regulatory clarity for the crypto industry is coming. ⏳

COINBASE: THE CYCLE ISN’T OVER 🧠

Coinbase Institutional just dropped its October outlook - and their message is clear:

October wasn’t the top. It was the reset.

This cycle isn’t over.

Here’s a summary of what the report said:

In a nutshell: Leverage got flushed, liquidity’s still thin, but the fundamentals? Still rock solid.

Their analysts say institutional capital is quietly rotating back in - not running for the exit.

Key takeaways:

The market’s been flushed of excess leverage - but money flow is still tight 💧
Smart money isn’t leaving crypto, it’s just moving between sectors 🔄
• The economy’s still uncertain, but long-term demand keeps growing 📈

In Coinbase’s words:

We think this is the base-building phase before the next leg up — not a cycle top.

Coinbase Institutional

Translation?

The biggest institutional desk in crypto just confirmed what we’ve been saying for weeks:

This isn’t the end of the bull run - it’s the reload phase. ⚙️

TWO IN A ROW 📉

Digital asset funds saw a second week of outflows totalling $1.17 billion last week.

Let’s break it down.

As usual, Bitcoin was the primary focus, experiencing outflows of $932 million.

Ethereum also saw substantial outflows totalling $438 million.

Whilst Solana and XRP held strong with inflows of $118.4 million and $12.3 million respectively.

From a regional perspective, the U.S. led with outflows of $1.22 billion.

Switzerland, Germany, and Brazil saw inflows of $49.7 million, $41.3 million, and $12.0 million respectively.

Negative sentiment lingered last week as fears over the government shutdown and a fading December rate cut kept markets uneasy.

On Thursday, hope briefly returned after reports suggested progress toward reopening the government.

But the relief was short lived

By Friday, optimism faded and outflows came rushing back.
