Bitcoin is holding near $64,000 as Microsoft’s artificial intelligence results lift technology stocks—but the crypto market is facing a much bigger test in Washington.

In today’s Daily Crypto Roundup, we examine the latest fallout surrounding the CLARITY Act, including the exact disputes over government ethics, stablecoin rewards, decentralised finance rules, anti-money-laundering requirements and regulatory enforcement.

We also explain why JPMorgan believes further delays could allow traditional financial institutions to capture the tokenization market before public blockchains receive the economic benefit.

CME Group chief executive Terry Duffy has also warned that United States perpetual-futures traders may be overlooking a serious tax risk. Could these contracts eventually be classified as swaps rather than futures—and could that force traders to amend previous tax returns?

Ondo Finance is reportedly considering an acquisition worth between $250 million and $500 million as competition intensifies across the tokenized real-world asset sector.

Finally, Strategy has sold approximately $544.5 million of common stock without purchasing additional Bitcoin. Instead, the money has been added to the company’s cash reserve, which is used to cover preferred-stock dividends and interest obligations.

Is Strategy responsibly protecting its Bitcoin holdings, or are common shareholders now being diluted to keep the company’s financing machine running?

Topics covered:

• Bitcoin holds near $64,000

• Government ethics and stablecoin rewards disputes
