August 11, 2026: The United States Securities and Exchange Commission is preparing its first major formal crypto rulemaking vote after Congress failed to advance the Clarity Act—but Friday’s meeting is only the beginning of the process.

We also examine Coinbase bringing more than 170 derivatives contracts and leverage of up to 50 times to eligible UK professional clients, Parliament demanding answers from British banks over crypto restrictions, Russia proposing regulated Bitcoin, Ethereum and Tether trading, and the BTCPay Server exploit that drained merchant Lightning wallets.

• The SEC’s proposed Regulation Crypto framework
• Bitcoin below $65,000 ahead of fresh inflation data
• Coinbase’s UK professional derivatives expansion
• Parliament’s crypto banking-access inquiry
• Russia’s controlled crypto investment framework
• The BTCPay Server recovery bounty and hot-wallet risks

Listener question: Would you rather see the SEC introduce crypto rules quickly, or wait for Congress to deliver a potentially stronger law?

This is not financial advice. Crypto trading involves risk of loss.
