The post 3 Altcoins That Benefit Most From the CLARITY Act and Why appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Crypto Market Structure Bill, CLARITY Act, passed the Senate Banking Committee on Thursday. The vote sends the crypto market structure bill toward a full Senate floor test and resets risk profiles for altcoin holders. Three tokens stand out as direct beneficiaries with profiles that fit the bill’s grandfather clauses, decentralization tests, and DeFi protections. Meanwhile, XRP, Solana, and Hyperliquid each align with the mechanics that the legislation favors. XRP Lands a Path Out of SEC Limbo XRP, the native asset of the Ripple network, sits closest to the bill’s grandfather clause. That language fast-tracks commodity status for tokens with approved or pending ETF products, sidestepping the full mature-blockchain test. Historically, secondary-market XRP sales have drawn SEC scrutiny. The bill ends that exposure for tokens meeting the new commodity definition. XRP Price Performan

The post Warren Pushes SEC Probe as CLARITY Act Faces Final Hurdles appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Senator Elizabeth Warren called on the SEC to investigate a Trump family-linked crypto business. The comments came during the Senate Banking Committee markup of the CLARITY Act. Reports said DeFi rules, BRCA language, and Democratic support became key late-stage issues. Senator Elizabeth Warren called on the SEC to investigate a crypto company linked to President Donald Trump’s family as the CLARITY Act faced a tense Senate Banking Committee markup. Her remarks added fresh pressure to a bill already caught between ethics concerns, DeFi rules, and late-stage amendment fights. The dispute raised a direct question for crypto markets: Will the CLARITY Act stall before reaching the Senate floor? Current signs show the bill can still move, but its bipartisan path has narrowed as Democrats press for stronger guardrails on conflicts of interest and market oversight.  Warren Raises Trump Cry

The post CLARITY Act clears Senate markup in 15–9 vote as ethics fights persist appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Senate Banking Committee advanced the CLARITY Act in a 15–9 vote during a markup session on 14 May.  This moves the cryptocurrency market structure bill to its next legislative stage after lawmakers spent hours debating amendments covering ethics rules, decentralized finance [DeFi], and anti-money laundering provisions. A markup session is the stage where lawmakers review legislation line by line, propose changes, and vote on amendments before deciding whether the bill should move forward. The committee ultimately approved an amended version of the legislation, preserving momentum behind one of the most closely watched crypto regulatory efforts in Washington.  However, the vote does not represent final Senate approval, and the legislation still faces additional steps before it can become law. Warren amendments fail as ethics concerns remain During the session, lawmak

The post Starknet launches strkBTC, a Bitcoin asset enhancing privacy with zero-knowledge proofs appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin’s biggest feature is also its biggest vulnerability. Every transaction, every balance, every wallet is visible to anyone with a block explorer and five minutes to spare. For casual users, that transparency is a minor nuisance. For whales holding serious capital, it’s a security risk that has contributed to a rise in targeted theft and social engineering attacks. Starknet thinks it has a fix. On May 12, the Ethereum layer-2 network launched strkBTC, a wrapped Bitcoin token built on its STRK20 privacy framework that lets holders move BTC into DeFi while keeping their transaction details hidden behind zero-knowledge STARK proofs. How strkBTC actually works Here’s the basic idea: you take your Bitcoin, bridge it to Starknet, and receive strkBTC, an ERC20-compatible token. The twist is what Starknet calls “shielded mode.” When enabled, shielded mode c
