Another huge week across crypto.
Regulation hit another roadblock, Solana narrowly avoided a major network problem, institutional ETH adoption accelerated, and Wall Street moved another step closer to putting traditional markets onchain.
Here are the 5 biggest stories you need to know.
The chances of the CLARITY Act passing in 2026 have plunged to just 10%, according to Galaxy Research.
The firm previously put the odds at 50%, but a tight Senate calendar and unresolved disputes have dramatically reduced the chances of legislation getting across the line this year.
Why it matters: The CLARITY Act is one of the most important pieces of US crypto legislation. Another delay means regulatory uncertainty could drag on well into 2027.
A routing fault at hosting provider Teraswitch knocked 28.83% of staked SOL offline.
That put Solana remarkably close to the roughly 33% threshold where block finalization would stop.
The network survived, but the incident was a serious reminder of the infrastructure risks that remain even for major blockchains.
The SEC advanced work on a tokenized-securities exemption that could allow compliant stocks and other securities to trade onchain while permanent regulations are developed.
The bigger picture: Traditional finance is moving toward crypto rails.
Tokenized equities + blockchain settlement + 24/7 markets could fundamentally change how Wall Street operates.
Corporate demand for Ethereum continues to grow.
SharpLink announced it will deploy $200M of ETH through Lido, receiving liquid wstETH while Anchorage Digital provides custody.
Meanwhile, BitMine reported ETH holdings of roughly 5.8 million tokens, representing close to 5% of Ethereum’s supply.
ETH isn’t just becoming a treasury asset.
Institutions are increasingly putting that ETH to work.
Trezor revealed that a breach involving one of its shipping providers exposed customer information linked to 13,689 customers.
Names, email addresses, phone numbers and shipping information were among the data affected. Trezor’s wallets and internal systems were not compromised, but affected customers now face an increased phishing risk.
Reminder: Never enter or share your wallet backup/seed phrase online.
This week highlighted two very different sides of crypto.
The bullish side: institutions are accumulating ETH, tokenization is moving forward, and traditional finance continues migrating onchain.
The risk side: US regulation remains stuck, infrastructure vulnerabilities haven’t disappeared, and security threats continue evolving.
Bitcoin itself remains stuck around the low-$60Ks, with momentum and trading activity subdued.
For now, the market is waiting for its next major catalyst.
Less noise. More signal.
See you next week. 🏠
