Trump Backs Ethics Deal to Advance Crypto Bill
x/donald-john-trump
— Sep 10, 2026
Coinbase and Grayscale say U.S. crypto rules can advance through agency rulemaking by the SEC and CFTC even if the CLARITY Act stalls in Congress, as regulators have already begun building a federal framework. A Sept. 15 cloture vote on H.R. 3633 faces a 60-vote threshold in a Senate closely split after House passage in 2025, with negotiations ongoing on DeFi, stablecoins, and investor protections while the regulatory path also unfolds via agencies.

Crypto firms urge SEC to avoid blanket ETF rules, Better Markets pushes back
x/united-states-securities-and-exchange-commission
— Sep 1, 2026
Crypto firms Grayscale, a16z, and the Crypto Council for Innovation urge the SEC to avoid blanket changes that would treat funds holding non-securities as investment companies, urging a product-by-product assessment and support for streamlined review processes; they also back confidential pre-filing and oppose expanding the Investment Company Act to cover novel ETFs. Meanwhile, Better Markets argues that certain event-contract or sports/election-focused ETFs amount to gambling and should not be allowed under the ETF wrapper, urging the SEC to preserve investor protection and avoid misalignment with ETF purposes.

Confidential pre-filing sounds nice for companies but investors deserve transparency too, not just faster approvals behind closed doors.
Worldcoin ETF S-1 filed by Grayscale
Finance
— Jul 20, 2026
Grayscale has filed an S-1 with the SEC to launch a spot Worldcoin ETF that would hold WLD directly and trade on Nasdaq as GWLD, with shares issued in 10,000-share creation blocks and a passive, non-leveraged structure. The filing names custodians and administrators (BitGo Bank & Trust, Bank of New York Mellon, CSC Delaware Trust) and notes that details like fees and seed investment will be provided in later amendments, with final listing contingent on SEC approval and a 19b-4 rule change.
