Trump Media is exiting the crypto sector, ending its token treasury and prediction market plans, while the U.S. Senate advances the crypto Clarity Act to clarify regulatory roles between the SEC and CFTC. This comes alongside new sanctions on Iran-linked crypto exchanges and regulatory pressure on prediction market platforms.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a clearer regulatory environment as U.S. lawmakers push the Clarity Act, but also greater scrutiny from sanctions and enforcement agencies. Crypto platforms must prepare for compliance demands and potential operational pivots now.
