Fidelity commends the Senate Banking Committee for advancing the CLARITY Act. The bill provides a balanced approach and, if passed, will offer statutory clarity to digital asset markets, benefiting American investors and helping ensure the U.S. remains a global leader in digital assets.
Gerry O’Shea (@gerryoshea), Head of Global Market Insights at @Hashdex, tells @RemyBlaireNews that late-year crypto weakness reflects deleveraging, long-term Bitcoin selling, and 2026 liquidity uncertainty, not a breakdown in the long-term investment case.
What’s driving Bitcoin’s late-year pullback and how @Hashdex is framing the setup ahead:
"The Debasement Trade" since COVID:
In USD: NDX up 165%, SPX up 102%, Home prices up 56%.
In gold: NDX up 7%, SPX down 18%, Home prices down 37%.
In BTC: NDX down 78%, SPX down 84%, Home prices down 87%.
Like all of you, I am mourning Charlie Kirk. He stood up for his beliefs and died for them at 31, wearing a T‑shirt that read "Freedom."
At 31, my life was taken from me for standing up for what I believed in. And Charlie helped me get it back. He never took credit for it but he played a BIG role in my freedom in many ways. Last year alone, when President Trump won the election, he asked Charlie what was the #1 thing he could do for him and Charlie replied: "Free Ross." And in the days leading to my release, Charlie advocated for a full pardon. He did this and more without expectations of me.
I wish there was something I could do to help Charlie get his life back. But there isn't, and I'm heartbroken.
Charlie, I will always be grateful to you. Thank you for all you did for me and for our country. I pray for you and your beautiful family. Rest in peace.
The President’s latest Executive Order, summarized by @Reuters below, is a big deal.
Bitcoin is slowly being appreciated as the ultimate long-term savings tool—absolutely scarce, accessible to anyone, and immune from the consequences of government debt burdens and currency debasement.
Allowing employees to access bitcoin through their workplace savings plans is long overdue.
Bitcoin's been above $100k for two+ months...but does it still have room to run?
I joined @CNBC's Crypto World to discuss bitcoin's recent all-time high, #stablecoins & the GENIUS Act, and what investors can expect this year.

The GENIUS Act could be signed into law as soon as tomorrow. This is good for #bitcoin and the entire digital asset ecosystem. Thanks to @SchwabNetwork for having me on this morning to discuss these implications and more!
.@gerryoshea believes the crypto bills being debated in Congress could provide an on-ramp for millions of crypto users. He addresses the GENIUS Act's importance to not only adoption, but regulation.
Thanks for visiting @planetmoney, but we didn't build a bar because we're "outlaws."
We started a Bitcoin third place because we care about community. And so did @PeterMcCormack. 🧵 (1/6)
This is an exciting step forward for #Bitcoin and the broader digital asset ecosystem.
Only a small percentage of the world has access to the (relative) stability of the US dollar. Stablecoins have already proven a strong product-market fit for “digital dollars” and this demand will only accelerate with more regulatory clarity in the US.
A favorable legal/regulatory regime for #stablecoins will also push forward the adoption of bitcoin as a more modern financial system—one built on digitalized infrastructure—makes it easier for individuals & businesses to transact, save, and invest.
🧵 Today, on a bipartisan basis, the Senate passed its first piece of major legislation this Congress with my bill -- the GENIUS Act.
With GENIUS, the United States is one step closer to becoming the crypto capital of the world. (1/7)
This was a fun conversation covering a lot of ground, including the political landscape for bitcoin, strategic BTC reserves, and how institutional investors are thinking about this space. Thanks to the @OnrampBitcoin team for having me on!
New episode of The Last Trade, out now!
We’re joined by Gerry O’Shea (@gerryoshea), Head of Global Market Insights @hashdex, to discuss…
➤ ETF flows surging
➤ Institutions allocating
➤ States splitting on policy
➤ Custody concerns growing
➤ Treasury co. risks rising & more!
“It might still be premature to claim that bitcoin has been universally accepted as ‘digital gold,’ but that narrative, supported by its response to geopolitical events, is gaining momentum,” says @gerryoshea of @hashdex

Thank you President Trump for freeing Ross Ulbricht. He’s my guest at the State of the Union. I was honored to give him a debt badge at dinner tonight! #SOTU#freeross
