Robinhood co-founder and CEO Vlad Tenev said on May 8, 2026, that the U.S. is nearing passage of the Crypto Clarity Act, a bill aimed at creating a formal framework for digital assets. The proposal would set clearer legal lines on which tokens are treated as securities versus commodities, potentially reshaping oversight across the industry.

Coinbase said on its Q1 2026 earnings call that it bought $88 million worth of bitcoin during the quarter, expanding the company’s corporate treasury holdings. The disclosure places the Nasdaq-listed exchange among other public firms that keep BTC on their balance sheets. On the same call, CFO Alesia Haas said Coinbase’s revenue-sharing agreement with Circle for USDC auto-renews every three years and cannot be terminated.
