Wall Street giants back $15M push to quantum-proof Bitcoin as the CLARITY Act nears a do-or-die deadline
On this episode of CoinDesk's Public Keys from the New York Stock Exchange, Jennifer Sanasie is joined by Charles Schwab Head of Crypto Research Jim Ferraioli, who breaks down the odds of a Fed hike, why he believes the CLARITY Act is not yet priced into Bitcoin, and his finding that some 60% of Bitcoin's daily price move can't be tied to macro factors. Galaxy Head of Firmwide Research Alex Thorn unpacks the newly launched $15 million Bitcoin Security Consortium — backed by nine firms including BlackRock, Coinbase, Fidelity, Galaxy, and Strategy — and Galaxy's own $5 million Bitcoin Quantum Readiness Initiative, while making the case that CLARITY is in its "11th hour" ahead of the August recess. Finally, FalconX Head of Derivatives Griffin Sears kicks off CoinDesk's Perps Week, explaining how perpetual futures jumped from crypto into oil, single-name equities, and pre-IPO SpaceX exposure. Plus, a look at ETF flows and a Crypto Fear & Greed reading stuck at 30.

AI shock spares Bitcoin, Wall Street moves on-chain, and leveraged crypto ETFs explained
On this episode of CoinDesk's Public Keys from the New York Stock Exchange, Jennifer Sanasie is joined by Ben Emons, Founder and Chief Investment Officer of FedWatch Advisors, to break down the market fallout from Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 and why the Fed is now actively debating rate hikes rather than cuts ahead of the August 7th CLARITY Act deadline. Nadine Chakar, Managing Director and Global Head of Digital Assets at DTCC, explains how the firm moved tokenized securities into live production and outlines DTCC's role as an institutional multi-chain orchestrator ahead of a full commercial launch. The conversation turns to ETF flows, where Bitcoin funds finished last week with $76 million in net inflows despite a $425 million outflow on Monday alone, and Ethereum ETFs outpaced Bitcoin inflows led by $135 million into BlackRock's ETHA. Finally, Bilal Little, Global ETF Strategist at Direxion, unpacks the debut of BTCU and EVMU — the industry's first 2x leveraged spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs — explains why an ETF wrapper beats margin on a crypto exchange for retail traders, and responds to Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas's thesis that Bitcoin ETFs will mirror gold's 22-year "triumph and pain" trajectory. The episode closes with the Fear and Greed Index at 29.
