When we say that crypto regulation is on the way, drafts like this confirm it. The House Financial Services Committee has just presented a preliminary version of the Digital Asset Market Structure Act, and although it is not final, it sets the playing field for the coming years.
What does this draft propose?
It clearly defines what a security is and what a commodity is in the crypto world.
It gives more power to the CFTC to oversee tokens like BTC and ETH.
It creates a process for projects to be able to “decentralize” over time and exit the SEC’s jurisdiction.
It requires transparency, audits, and minimum standards for exchanges and issuers.
Why does it matter?
This draft could break the legal limbo that the crypto sector is experiencing in the U.S.
It offers a clear path for legitimate projects but also tightens the rules for those that do not comply.
The decisions made here will influence global regulations.
Highlighted quote: "We want clarity, not chaos. This draft is a foundation for building a legal and sustainable crypto ecosystem." — Patrick McHenry, committee chairman
#FOMCMeeting The Federal Reserve keeps rates, but warns about persistent inflation
Summary: The U.S. Federal Reserve (FOMC) decided on May 1 to maintain interest rates between 5.25% and 5.50%, as expected. However, Chairman Jerome Powell warned about the lack of significant progress on inflation during the first months of the year, which could delay the anticipated rate cuts.
Impact on the crypto market:
Bitcoin briefly fell below $59,000 after the announcement.
The dollar strengthened, putting pressure on risk assets.
The expectation for a first rate cut has now shifted to late 2025.
Highlighted Quote: "We do not see enough progress on inflation to justify a cut at this time." — Jerome Powell, Chairman of the Fed

Only authorized institutions will be able to issue USD-backed stablecoins.
It requires verifiable 1:1 reserves and periodic audits.
It prohibits algorithmic stablecoins without tangible backing.

The crypto market experienced a strong correction this week, with Bitcoin (BTC) dropping to $57,800, its lowest level since February, while Ethereum and altcoins reflected declines of 6–12%. The movement was driven by institutional sales, capital outflows in ETFs, and macroeconomic tensions.
Factors that influenced:
Inflation reports in the U.S. above expectations.
Net outflows of $250 million in Bitcoin ETFs in 48 hours.
Liquidations of over $500 million in leveraged positions.

Summary: The European Parliament has approved new legislation as part of the AML (Anti-Money Laundering) package that restricts the use of privacy-focused cryptocurrencies like Monero (XMR), Zcash (ZEC), and Dash within the European bloc.
Key Points:
EU-regulated exchanges will not be able to list or provide services with coins that completely hide transaction history.
Self-custody wallets are not banned, but they will be excluded from certain financial services.
The regulation still needs to be formally approved by the European Council, but it is almost certain to be enacted before the end of 2025.
Reactions:
Monero and Zcash fell by 7–10% following the announcement.
Privacy advocates warn that the measure may push the use of these coins towards unregulated markets.
Lawmakers insist they seek a balance between privacy and the fight against money laundering.
Highlighted Quote: "This is not about criminalizing privacy, but about protecting the European financial system." — Mairead McGuinness, EU Financial Services Commissioner

#stoploss A stop loss is an order placed to automatically sell an asset when it reaches a certain price, with the goal of limiting losses.
For example: If you buy BTC at $97,000 and set a stop loss at $95,000, your position will be automatically sold if the price drops to $95,000, protecting you from a larger decline.
1. How to set it up (example on Binance):
Step 1: Go to the trading section (Spot or Futures).
Step 2: Select the pair you are trading (for example, BTC/USDT).
Step 3: In the order type, choose "Stop-Limit" or "Stop Market".
Step 4:
Activation Price (Stop): the price at which the order is activated.
Selling Price (Limit): the price at which you want to sell. Example: Stop: 95,000 / Limit: 94,800
Step 5: Set the amount and click on "Sell".
> In a Stop Market, the sale is executed at the best available price as soon as it is activated.
2. How to choose a good stop loss level:
By percentage: Use a general rule, such as 2-5% below the entry price.
By technical analysis: Place your stop loss below a key support, moving average, or reversal pattern.
By volatility: Use indicators like the ATR to measure the average price movement range.
The executive chairman of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), Michael Saylor, has reaffirmed his confidence in Bitcoin with a new massive acquisition:
+15,355 BTC bought Total value: $1.42 billion Average price: $92,737 per BTC
With this purchase, Strategy now accumulates: 553,555 BTC — more than 2.6% of the total Bitcoin supply!
Why is it relevant? • Reinforces the narrative of Bitcoin as an institutional store of value • Strategy continues to invest, even after reporting accounting losses due to BTC volatility • They announced a new stock issuance to continue buying more
Saylor does not sell. Saylor accumulates. And institutions follow suit.

XRP (Ripple) – proposal from Franklin Templeton
Solana (SOL)
Dogecoin (DOGE)
Litecoin (LTC)

Although this is a new delay, Bloomberg analysts like James Seyffart project high probabilities of approval for 2025:

What does this mean for the market? Institutional interest continues to grow, but the SEC remains cautious with assets it considers "under review". Meanwhile, investors are closely watching the potential impact on mass adoption and the price of these tokens.
