SEC Expands Crypto Guidance After CLARITY Act Stalls in Senate
The US Securities and Exchange Commission has expanded its non-binding crypto FAQs after the Senate failed to advance the CLARITY Act.

Bybit Adds Franklin Templeton Tokenized Funds as Institutional Collateral
Franklin Templeton and Bybit have launched a collateral program allowing eligible institutions to pledge tokenized money-market fund shares issued through Benji. The assets remain with off-exchange custodians while clients receive USDT- or USDC-denominated credit lines for trading on Bybit. The structure lets investors retain fund exposure and continue earning yield without selling the shares or moving them onto the exchange.

Selective Altcoin Rotation Favors Revenue, Utility and Diverse Narratives
Recent altcoin gains have spread across DeFi, privacy, AI, tokenized assets and memecoins, but market participation remains selective rather than broad-based.

Analysts cited in the report said traders appear to be favoring smaller allocations and, in several prominent cases, protocols that generate revenue.
