Galaxy Digital said the Senate has four working days to save the CLARITY Act, as it cut passage odds to 30%. In a July 24 note to clients, the crypto investment firm lowered its estimate for CLARITY Act chances this year from 50%, saying lawmakers need a deal by July 30 to leave enough time for floor proceedings before the August recess.

Bitcoin traded around $64,000 on July 25 after changing hands near $65,000 around the ECB’s July 23 decision as the central bank kept rates unchanged, its bond portfolios continued shrinking, and euro-area banks tightened access to business and housing credit.

Ten once-prominent cryptocurrency networks now carry a combined market value of $12.06 billion, trading an average of 97.13% below their all-time highs. A recent report by Taurex noted that recovery needs across the group range from roughly 21.5x for Avalanche, the largest of the ten at $2.91 billion, to roughly 323x for Internet Computer, which sits furthest from its peak at 99.7% below. Blockchains fund security, developer grants and network growth through token issuance, validator rewards and treasury spending, models that work best when prices climb, and newly minted tokens still carry real dollar value. At this scale of drawdown, the same issuance produces far less funding, dilutes hold

AFX and the Verus-Ethereum bridge suffered about $31.69 million in combined losses within hours of each other, while B² Network separately suspended token staking after unauthorized access to a contract upgrade authority.
