The Senate has not yet indicated if it will advance the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, and with its summer recess looming, here are the possible outcomes.

BTC held near $64,000 as MSCI\\\'s world index set another peak and Brent fell toward a Hormuz deal. Ether is the only major down on the week.

A 12-year-old bitcoin wallet moved $31 million on Monday, part of a broader wave of dormant coins shifting since the Coldcard hack.

Michael Saylor’s company, Strategy, is now closely monitoring bitcoin’s 200-week moving average, a key long-term support level that the cryptocurrency has historically respected.

The Coldcard vulnerability has smaller bitcoin holders moving funds onto exchanges for safety, according to blockchain analytics firms. This is opposite of the trend seen following the FTX collapse in late 2022.

\\\"We were a scrappy startup,\\\" Delo said of BitMEX back in 2016, when it launched the first perpetual future. \\\"We thought, ‘Just get it out there. If it was any good, the market would show us.’\\\"
