Tom Lee’s Bitmine buys $14 million in ETH, holdings reach 5.77M ETH worth $10.8 billion
Tom Lee’s Bitmine bought $14 million worth of Ethereum (ETH) last week. The firm now holds 5.77M ETH valued at about $10.8 billion, accounting for roughly 4.8% of Ethereum’s total supply. The position represents a notable whale-sized holding on-chain and reflects professional institutions’ recognition of ETH’s medium- to long-term value. The move is a large on-chain accumulation and is not tied to protocol upgrades, regulatory changes or macro policy shifts, with its impact expected to flow directly through ETH market sentiment and fund-flow expectations.

U.S. Senate Banking Committee advances the Clarity Act in a 15-9 vote on July 20, 2026
On July 20, 2026, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee passed the Clarity Act by a 15-9 vote. The bill seeks to define whether digital assets are securities, creating a federal framework for regulatory determinations affecting exchanges, issuers and developers. It now heads to the full Senate for consideration and has not become law. The measure was framed as relevant to BTC and XRP, with XRP’s status tied to longstanding SEC litigation while BTC is often treated as a non-security example.

CLARITY Act heads to Senate floor vote after 294–134 House passage, could lock in XRP commodity status
The U.S. CLARITY Act has passed the House 294–134 and cleared the Senate Banking Committee 15–9, leaving a Senate floor vote as the next step. The bill is designed to clarify how digital assets are classified. The SEC and CFTC have previously agreed that XRP is a commodity. If signed into law, the measure would codify XRP’s commodity status at the federal level and end a long-running dispute over its regulatory classification.
