U.S. Crypto Regulation Advances as SEC and CFTC Announce Harmonization Talks

Crypto regulation in the United States could see significant progress as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission announced they would hold talks to implement the President’s policies on digital assets.

SEC, CFTC Plan Meeting to Advance Crypto Regulation

The US regulators said they will hold a joint event on January 27 to discuss harmonization for the two agencies. This is in a bid to progress on policies being introduced by President Trump and make the country the crypto capital of the world

CFTC Chairman Michael S. Selig also confirmed the partnership saying that the harmonization efforts will ensure innovation grows in America.

This development comes as crypto regulation has continued to stall for months. For instance, the crypto industry is still waiting for the Senate committees to advance the CLARITY Act.

The draft released by the Banking committee had caused an uproar among crypto firms with many criticizing its structure. This led to the markup being postponed. Meanwhile, the Senate Ag committee released a partisan draft as it prepares for its markup.

Notably, its markup date is the same day the SEC and CFTC hope to hold their talks on crypto regulation. Especially as the Senate Banking Committee has now shifted its focus from the CLARITY Act to other pressing matters on its table. Some are now projecting March as when the bill could move forward.

Traders Bet Against CLARITY Act Being Signed in 2026

According to Polymarket data, traders are beginning to bet against the bill being signed into law this year. The odds have now fallen by 24% from their previous high. This shows a lack of confidence due to the latest discrepancies.

The crypto regulation has continued to remain in limbo with industry leaders also divided on its progress. Just recently, Charles Hoskinson, Cardano founder, slammed Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse for supporting the bill. Garlinghouse had claimed it was better to have the bad bill than no bill, and Hoskinson strongly disagreed.

Meanwhile, the White House has shown confidence that the CLARITY Act would be passed sooner or later. They also called on the key industry leaders and the government officials to sit and find a common ground on the lingering issue.

Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future

The post Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. “It’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress,” writes Pipes. Getty Images Washington is addicted to taxing success. Now, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is floating a plan to skim half the patent earnings from inventions developed at universities with federal funding. It’s being sold as a way to shore up programs like Social Security. In reality, it’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress. Yes, taxpayer dollars support early-stage research. But the real payoff comes later—in the jobs created, cures discovered, and industries launched when universities and private industry turn those discoveries into real products. By comparison, the sums at stake in patent licensing are trivial. Universities collectively earn only about $3.6 billion annually in patent income—less than the federal government spends on Social Security in a single day. Even confiscating half would barely register against a $6 trillion federal budget. And yet the damage from such a policy would be anything but trivial. The true return on taxpayer investment isn’t in licensing checks sent to Washington, but in the downstream economic activity that federally supported research unleashes. Thanks to the bipartisan Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, universities and private industry have powerful incentives to translate early-stage discoveries into real-world products. Before Bayh-Dole, the government hoarded patents from federally funded research, and fewer than 5% were ever licensed. Once universities could own and license their own inventions, innovation exploded. The result has been one of the best returns on investment in government history. Since 1996, university research has added nearly $2 trillion to U.S. industrial output, supported 6.5 million jobs, and launched more than 19,000 startups. Those companies pay…

Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto

Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto

The post Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Advertisement &nbsp &nbsp Forward Industries, the largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, has filed a $4 billion at-the-market (ATM) equity offering program with the U.S. SEC  to raise more capital for additional SOL accumulation. Forward Strategies Doubles Down On Solana Strategy In a Wednesday press release, Forward Industries revealed that the 4 billion ATM equity offering program will allow the company to issue and sell common stock via Cantor Fitzgerald under a sales agreement dated Sept. 16, 2025. Forward said proceeds will go toward “general corporate purposes,” including the pursuit of its Solana balance sheet and purchases of income-generating assets. The sales of the shares are covered by an automatic shelf registration statement filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission that is already effective – meaning the shares will be tradable once they’re sold. An automatic shelf registration allows certain publicly listed companies to raise capital with flexibility swiftly.  Kyle Samani, Forward’s chairman, astutely described the ATM offering as “a flexible and efficient mechanism” to raise and deploy capital for the company’s Solana strategy and bolster its balance sheet.  Advertisement &nbsp Though the maximum amount is listed as $4 billion, the firm indicated that sales may or may not occur depending on existing market conditions. “The ATM Program enhances our ability to continue scaling that position, strengthen our balance sheet, and pursue growth initiatives in alignment with our long-term vision,” Samani said. Forward Industries kicked off its Solana treasury strategy on Sept. 8. The Wednesday S-3 form follows Forward’s $1.65 billion private investment in public equity that closed last week, led by crypto heavyweights like Galaxy Digital, Jump Crypto, and Multicoin Capital. The company started deploying that capital this week, announcing it snatched up 6.8 million SOL for approximately $1.58 billion at an average price of $232…
