#USHouseMarketStructureDraft U.S. House Representatives Legislators Introduce Bill on Cryptocurrency Market Structure

As a successor to the so-called FIT21 bill from the last session, the chairs of the House committees have released a discussion draft of a market structure bill.

What to know:

The two relevant committees of the U.S. House of Representatives have published a draft for discussion of legislation that they hope will establish a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies in the United States.

Based on the previous effort known as FIT21, this version also aims to establish clear boundaries between the cryptocurrency jurisdictions of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The bill will be the main attraction at a joint hearing on Tuesday.

#USStablecoinBill President Donald Trump hopes to sign two laws that support stablecoins in the United States (the House of Representatives' STABLE Act and the Senate's GENIUS Act) before Congress goes on recess in August, according to two administration officials who spoke Wednesday during the 2025 DC Blockchain Summit.

Bo Hines, Executive Director of the White House Presidential Advisory Council on Digital Assets, and Tyler Williams, Advisor to the Secretary of the Treasury on Digital Assets at the Department of the Treasury, discussed the administration's plans to create a regulatory environment favorable to digital assets.

"We want to make the United States the global capital of cryptocurrencies," Hines said. "That means paving the way for innovation here. That means creating the most favorable regulatory environment possible."

#MarketPullback A market pullback is a temporary decline in the price of an asset within a broader trend. In a bull market, the price drops slightly before continuing its rise, while in a bear market, there may be a temporary increase in price before it continues to fall. These movements are often caused by natural corrections in supply and demand, unexpected news, or profit-taking by investors.

Why is it relevant?

For beginner traders: It helps to differentiate between a pullback and a trend reversal, avoiding hasty decisions.

For specialists: It offers strategic entry or exit opportunities, as pullbacks often mark key levels of support or resistance.

Practical example: In an uptrend, a pullback can be an ideal moment to buy before the price continues to rise.

#EUPrivacyCoinBan According to reports, a new anti-money laundering bill proposes a total ban on privacy coins such as Monero, Dash, and Zcash in the European Union.

A draft of the bill seen by CoinDesk states that "credit institutions, financial institutions, and crypto asset service providers will be prohibited from holding […] coins that enhance anonymity."

The move to ban privacy coins that seek to hinder or prevent the tracking of cryptocurrency transactions comes as part of a Czech proposal on a broader anti-money laundering (AML) bill that would also create a new EU-wide agency (AMLA) to oversee large financial institutions, ban large cash transfers, and prohibit non-cryptographic privacy-focused financial instruments, such as bearer shares and anonymous accounts.

#AppleCryptoUpdate Cryptocurrency application developers now have the freedom to direct users to payments outside of Apple's ecosystem without restrictions or high fees, after a U.S. district judge ruled that Apple violated a court order in its antitrust legal battle against Epic Games.

The Court declares that Apple has deliberately violated the 2021 Court Order, issued to restrict and prohibit Apple's anticompetitive conduct and pricing. Apple's continued attempts to interfere with competition will not be tolerated, stated federal district judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in a filing submitted to the court on April 30.

#AltcoinETFsPostponed The annual yield of Ether in staking is estimated at 2.4% on Coinbase, while on Kraken, another US-based exchange, it ranges between 2% and 7%. According to Sosovalue, Ether ETFs have accumulated a net inflow of $2.28 billion since their launch in 2024.

The competition for Ether ETF staking includes other asset managers, such as 21Shares iShares Ethereum Trust from BlackRock. The company applied for authorization to offer staking services in February and is currently awaiting approval from the agency.

The SEC approves options for multiple spot Ether ETFs

Despite the delay in staking applications, the SEC is moving forward with regulatory requests related to cryptocurrency ETFs.

On April 9, the agency approved the trading of options for multiple spot Ether ETFs, allowing derivatives to appear in funds from BlackRock, Bitwise, and Grayscale ETFs.

Options trading involves the right to buy and sell contracts that grant investors the right, but not the obligation, to purchase an asset at a predetermined price. This approval expands the utility of the funds for institutional investors.

Efforts to expand the appeal of Ether ETFs reflect the lack of adoption in contrast to Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs launched in January 2024. While Ether ETFs accumulated a net inflow of $15.29 billion as of April 11, Bitcoin fund flows exceeded $15.29 billion according to Sosovalue.

Ether has also faced tough moments during this bull market compared to other assets like XRP (XRP) and Solana (SOL). The asset's 52-week high of $4,112 did not surpass its all-time high of $4,866 in November 2021. The token is trading below $2,000 on April 14.

The White House published on Tuesday a list of the "most egregious lies" perpetrated by the media in the first 100 days of President Donald Trump's second term.

The Trump administration released a press statement declaring: "Since President Donald J. Trump took office 100 days ago, there has been an incessant flood of lies and falsehoods from the Democrats and their allies in the fake news, who suffer from terminal cases of Trump Derangement Syndrome."

The administration proceeded to list 57 alleged "lies" spread by the president's critics, the media, and the Democrats.

I can't even get a free greeting hahaha!!!

#AbuDhabiStablecoin The institutional giants of Abu Dhabi come together to create the stablecoin linked to the dirham

If approved by the regulators of the United Arab Emirates, the stablecoin linked to the dirham and regulated by the central bank will operate on the ADI blockchain.

A trio of major institutions from Abu Dhabi, including the sovereign wealth fund of the Emirate, have joined forces to launch a new stablecoin linked to the dirham.

The Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund, ADQ, the largest bank in the United Arab Emirates, First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB), and the massive conglomerate International Holding Company, have partnered to launch the stablecoin, pending regulatory approval, the three companies said on April 28.

The trio claimed that the stablecoin would be regulated by the UAE central bank and backed by the country's currency, the dirham. Additionally, it would support use cases such as machine-to-machine communication and artificial intelligence.

#ArizonaBTCReserve The legislators of the Arizona House of Representatives have voted in favor of approving two bills that could allow the state to adopt a reserve using Bitcoin

BTC

83.713 €

or other crypto assets.

In a third reading on April 28 of Senate Bill 1025 (SB1025), a proposal to amend the statutes of Arizona and allow a strategic reserve of BTC, 31 members of the Arizona House voted in favor of the bill, with 25 against. A similar bill, SB1373, to establish a state-level digital asset reserve, was passed with 37 legislators in favor and 19 voting against.

“This bill basically adopts the approach that probably another 15 states are considering with similar legislation at the national level, allowing the treasurer to invest up to 10% in, probably mainly Bitcoin, but also in other things,” said State Representative Jeff Weninger about SB1025. “I think this would probably start as a ‘may’ in the foreseeable future, but as things continue to shift towards Bitcoin and these issues, it would already be set for the future.”

#SaylorBTCPurchase The whales and large institutions continue their aggressive accumulation of Bitcoin, with Strategy hinting at another Bitcoin investment that could be announced on Monday.

The co-founder of Strategy, Michael Saylor, hinted at another imminent investment in Bitcoin (BTC) on April 27, a week after the firm acquired $555 million in Bitcoin at an average price of $84,785 per coin.

"Stay Humble. Accumulate Sats," wrote Saylor, fueling investors' speculation about the size of the firm's next Bitcoin investment.

#AirdropFinderGuide Cryptocurrency airdrops are like surprise gifts, where users receive free tokens. New blockchain projects often distribute them to promote their coins, similar to free samples in a store.

To participate in an airdrop, users may need to follow a project on social media or join its community. The project team decides the rules, and tokens are usually distributed directly to users' wallets automatically using smart contracts.

There are different types of airdrops. Standard airdrops require a wallet address, reward airdrops involve completing tasks, and holder airdrops reward existing token holders.

Participants should avoid scams by researching projects, being cautious of phishing attempts, not sharing private keys, and using secure wallets.
