$FOLKS 🚨 STANDARD CHARTERED LAUNCHES CRYPTO PRIME BROKERAGE
Standard Chartered is rolling out a crypto prime brokerage for hedge funds and asset managers under its venture arm, SC Ventures, Bloomberg reports.
U.S. banks are also expanding: JPMorgan explores crypto trading for clients, and Morgan Stanley filed for Bitcoin, Ether, and Solana ETFs. With $140B in spot crypto ETFs now active, prime brokerage infrastructure is in high demand.
Bitcoin is consolidating around $92K as institutional adoption grows.
🇺🇸 President Trump officially nominates Kevin Hassett as the next Federal Reserve Chair.
This signals a potential shift toward more growth-friendly and politically aligned monetary policy.
Markets are already reading this as: • Higher odds of easier financial conditions • More pressure on the dollar • Increased appeal of hard, decentralized assets
$DOLO 🚨 DRAFT SENATE BILL COULD RECLASSIFY MAJOR ALTCOINS
An interesting section in the draft Senate crypto market structure bill addresses token classification.
If a crypto token is the primary asset of an ETF listed on a national securities exchange (registered under Section 6 of the Securities Exchange Act) as of January 1, 2026, it would be exempt from being classified as an “ancillary asset” or a security.
This means such tokens would not be subject to additional disclosure requirements and would be treated more like commodities, similar to $BTC and $ETH.
Under this framework, tokens like $XRP, $SOL, $LTC, $HBAR, $DOGE, and $LINK are placed in the same basket as BITCOIN AND ETHEREUM.🇺🇸 JUST IN: U.S. SENATE UNVEILS DRAFT CRYPTO MARKET STRUCTURE BILL
Senate Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott has released the bipartisan bill text after months of negotiations.
The initial draft is now public, with a markup scheduled later this month.
A major step forward for the industry ; and another milestone toward mainstream crypto adoption.SOMETHING IS SHIFTING IN WASHINGTON
Behind the scenes, the votes are moving. 👀
📅 January 15 -- the Senate Banking Committee is set to mark up the CLARITY Act. That’s the moment crypto regulation stops being theory and starts becoming law.
What’s changed: 🚀 Senators who were hard “no” are softening 🚀 Bipartisan math is quietly improving 🚀 The conversation has moved from “should we regulate?” to “how do we do this?”
This is how real momentum looks. No victory laps nor grandstanding, just votes lining up.
Crypto doesn’t need unanimity. It just needs January 15. 🔥
🔵 SEC Chairman Paul Atkins stated that the U.S. is on the verge of major changes in crypto regulation.
What matters?
🔴 Congress has passed the Genius Act — the first cryptocurrency law in U.S. history.
The law lays the foundation for a structured crypto market.
🔵 Clear division of regulatory roles:
🦯 CFTC — crypto as commodities 🦯 SEC — securities 🦯 Main goal: establish clear and effective market regulation
💬 Paul Atkins:
“This is a step toward clarity and toward making the United States the crypto capital of the world. I’m optimistic the President will sign the law later this year.”
