Cryptocurrency Markets Surge Amid Regulatory Momentum

Cryptocurrency markets experienced a broad rally in the week following the failure of the Clarity Act to advance in the U.S. Senate.

The legislative setback was largely ignored by investors, who instead focused on regulatory moves from the SEC and CFTC that indicated a continued push for industry rules under existing authority.

XRP and Solana led the charge with 22.4% and 22.3% gains, respectively, while Ethereum and Bitcoin climbed 14.8% and 14% over the period.

Other notable gainers included NEAR Protocol (88.9%), Uniswap (60.5%), Avalanche (55.5%), Zcash (46.7%), Hyperliquid (26.4%), Securitize Corp. (63.1%), Galaxy Digital (21.9%), Coinbase Global Inc. (16.8%), and Robinhood Markets Inc. (12.5%).
