forklog.media JPMorgan Predicts Ethereum Will Lag Behind Bitcoin

The market's rise following the recent escalation of conflict in the Middle East has not altered the overall trend: Bitcoin continues to outpace Ethereum and other altcoins. This conclusion was reached by analysts at JPMorgan, reports The Block. According to the bank, digital gold is recovering more swiftly—both in the spot ETF segment and in the futures market. Institutional investors are more actively returning to the leading cryptocurrency: inflows into Bitcoin funds have compensated for two-thirds of the recent outflows, whereas Ethereum ETFs have only managed a third. Open positions on the CME for Bitcoin have returned to peak levels, while interest in Ether remains low. Experts doubt that the hard forks Glamsterdam and Hegota planned for this year will rectify the situation. Previous network updates over the past three years have not resulted in a noticeable increase in activity—on the contrary, they have reduced transaction costs in L2 solutions, which decreased the volume of burned fees and increased the supply of coins. This has exerted additional pressure on Ether's price. Analysts attribute the weakness in the altcoin market since 2023 to three factors: low liquidity and insufficient market depth; stagnation in the decentralized finance sector; regular hacks and security issues. These factors have undermined investor confidence and are restraining the influx of new capital into the alternative cryptocurrency ecosystem. The situation is unlikely to change without a sharp increase in activity in real-sector applications and DeFi, JPMorgan concluded. Back in May 11, digital gold prices tested $82,000, yet traders continued to exercise caution.

forklog.media CLARITY Act Clears Key Senate Vote

The U.S. Senate Banking Committee approved the CLARITY Act with a vote of 15 to 9. The bill proposes comprehensive federal regulation of the cryptocurrency market and delineates the powers between the SEC and the CFTC. The future of the bill remains uncertain. Democrats demand revisions to address illegal financing and to add restrictions to prevent potential conflicts of interest among politicians. Senators Ruben Gallego and Angela Alsobrooks indicated that committee approval does not guarantee their support in a full Senate vote. Analysts at TD Cowen, led by Jaret Seiberg, anticipated the approval but doubted the initiative's further success. "Committee recognition does not mean the bill will pass the entire Senate. Democrats may support the bill but vote against it in the full session if their amendments are not considered," said Seiberg. Provisions regarding stablecoins sparked particular debate. Banks opposed the language allowing crypto companies to reward users for holding such assets. Before the vote, lawmakers considered a compromise: it permits rewards for certain actions with "stablecoins" but prohibits interest income for passive holding. Committee Chairman Tim Scott allowed for a late compromise on contentious points but rejected several other Democratic amendments. The bill will undergo further consideration in the Senate. Afterward, lawmakers must reconcile the final version with the House of Representatives before sending it to the President for signing. Prior to the vote, the CLARITY Act received over 100 comments—40 of which were prepared by Senator Elizabeth Warren. Notably, she proposed prohibiting the Federal Reserve from opening master accounts for crypto companies.
