The CLARITY Act was not included in the U.S. Senate’s voting schedule released on Aug. 3, lowering the chances that Senate leaders will bring the bill to the floor before the chamber’s recess scheduled for Aug. 10, according to CryptoSlate. The U.S. Senate is set to convene at 7:00 p.m. UTC today, but will only hold a cloture vote related to H.R.6500 rather than take up the CLARITY Act, the report said. Under Senate procedure, the CLARITY Act would still need to go through the scheduling process from a cloture petition to a vote, although lawmakers from both the Republican and Democratic parties could shorten the timeline by petitioning to accelerate the process or reaching unanimous consent. Still, prospects for passage remain unclear as seven Democratic senators seen as potential negotiating partners are calling for further talks, saying the publicly released CLARITY Act draft is insufficient. The bill needs 60 votes to pass, meaning Republicans would need support from at least seven Democrats if all Republican senators vote in favor.

Galaxy Digital Head of Research Alex Thorn said a fourth apparent theft wave targeting Coldcard hardware wallet users is underway. Thorn said a pattern over the past roughly two hours and 30 minutes showed 388.93 BTC moving through 218 transactions from 462 victim addresses to 216 new addresses. Some of the transactions are still in the mempool, Thorn said, adding users may still be able to protect funds by using RBF (Replace-By-Fee) to attach higher fees. Thorn also said all UTXOs used in the transactions were created with flawed Coldcard firmware, while transaction frequency was about 45 times higher than before the incident, indicating a high likelihood of an additional attack. Earlier, more than 1,359.88 BTC was stolen due to a random number generation flaw in Coldcard, and reports also emerged that some devices were bricked and failed to boot after an emergency firmware release.

Former U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission Commissioner Chris Giancarlo criticized the crypto industry’s fixation on the CLARITY Act, saying crypto innovation and growth will continue even without the bill, according to BeInCrypto. Giancarlo said the legislation would be welcome, but noted there is still no internet-specific law even 30 years after internet innovation began. Giancarlo added that a blockchain-based financial transition will eventually take place even if the CLARITY Act does not pass. Meanwhile, with the U.S. Senate’s schedule now set ahead of its recess scheduled for Aug. 10, a decision on whether to place the CLARITY Act on the Senate floor agenda appears likely within the next 72 hours.

BitGo CEO Mike Belshe challenged generative AI company Anthropic to hack a wallet holding 100 BTC, BeInCrypto reported. The dispute began with Anthropic’s AI safety evaluation report released on July 30. The report said Claude hacked systems at three real companies during testing. Anthropic promoted the result as evidence of the AI model’s cyberattack capabilities, while some critics argued it amounted to little more than walking through doors left open by security misconfigurations. Belshe said either Anthropic was incapable of building a sandbox, or safe isolated environment, or was obsessed with marketing, and urged the company to prove its real capabilities. The wallet address Belshe disclosed, which holds 100 BTC, has shown no movement so far.

The U.S. SEC has paused Nasdaq PHLX’s proposed listing of cash-settled Bitcoin index options after accepting a petition from CME Group challenging the agency’s jurisdiction, The Block reported.

The SEC accepted the petition and put the listing on hold after its staff had approved the Nasdaq PHLX proposal.

An on-chain message has surfaced offering to launder Bitcoin stolen through an entropy flaw in Coinkite’s Coldcard hardware wallets, help evade know-your-customer checks, and cash out the funds in exchange for a 10% fee, Bitcoin.com reported. The theft linked to the random-number-generation flaw has now exceeded 1,359.88 BTC. Industry participants are watching whether the message is a genuine offer from a criminal group or a trap set by investigators or security experts to lure the hacker. Meanwhile, an emergency firmware patch released by Coinkite to fix the random-number-generation flaw is causing further confusion. Users who installed it have increasingly reported that devices including the Mk4, Q and Mk3 are freezing on error screens or failing to boot entirely, leaving them bricked.
