15 May 2026 - Daily crypto wrap: A landmark week for US digital asset regulation. The Senate Banking Committee passed the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act 15-9 with bipartisan support, marking the closest the United States has come to comprehensive crypto legislation. The bill establishes clearer boundaries between @SECGov and CFTC oversight and provides a framework for exchanges, stablecoins, and digital commodity classification. Markets responded immediately. Bitcoin moved above US$82,000 following the vote and XRP rose above US$1.50. On the institutional side, Ondo Global Markets crossed US$1 billion in total value locked across tokenised US stocks and ETFs, with @BlackRock and @Fidelity tokenised treasury funds receiving AAA-mf ratings from Moody's a meaningful signal for regulated institutional adoption of on-chain financial products. Macro conditions remain a factor, with US CPI at 3.8% and PPI at 6% year-on-year. Bitcoin's 200-day moving average near US$82,000 remains the key technical level the market is watching closely. Regulatory clarity, when it arrives, tends to matter. @BTCMarkets
