Senators Push Crypto Bill Forward, But Not Everyone’s Convinced...

2025/11/03 08:01

A recent X post claimed that U.S. Senators are aiming to pass a $Bitcoin and crypto market structure bill by the end of November. The news spread fast across the crypto space — but official statements tell a different story. While lawmakers are indeed working on the framework for digital asset regulation, a confirmed November vote seems far from guaranteed.

Crypto News: Where the Bill Stands

The core of the legislative effort lies in the CLARITY Act of 2025 (H.R. 3633), which was passed by the U.S. House earlier this year. The bill sets out to define clear boundaries between SEC and CFTC oversight, helping bring long-needed clarity to digital asset classifications.

In the Senate, the Banking Committee introduced its own draft of a “crypto market structure” bill back in July 2025. Committee Chair Senator Tim Scott had initially hoped for completion by September 30, but the deadline passed quietly with no progress announcement.

Official Senate Remarks on Progress

On October 16, 2025, Senator John Kennedy confirmed that the committee is still reviewing legislation related to Bitcoin and digital assets:

“The Senate Banking Committee is in the process of considering market-structure legislation for digital assets, for Bitcoin, for crypto. I hope we’ll move it quickly, but I hope we’ll move deliberately.”

This statement underscores an ongoing effort, but not an immediate deadline.
Meanwhile, Politico reported on October 9 that bipartisan talks had broken down — casting doubt on any short-term vote. Without clear consensus, the chances of passing the bill before year-end appear slim.

The Truth Behind the “End of November” Buzz

No official Senate release or leadership statement has confirmed an end-of-November target for passage. The circulating claim seems to stem from unverified social media speculation rather than official scheduling.

According to Unchained Crypto and Arnold & Porter, the Senate still intends to advance the bill, but with other legislative priorities and limited floor time, the likelihood of a November vote remains uncertain.

Crypto Prediction: What’s Next for the Crypto Market Bill

The crypto market structure bill remains one of the most significant steps toward comprehensive digital asset regulation in the U.S. — a move that could reshape how exchanges, tokens, and investors operate.

However, given current Senate dynamics, the timeline looks more like Q4 2025 or early 2026 than November. Until formal hearings or markups are scheduled, traders and industry leaders should treat the rumored November passage as optimism — not confirmation.

Nvidia Invests $683M in Nscale, Crypto Mining Powers AI

The post Nvidia Invests $683M in Nscale, Crypto Mining Powers AI appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Nvidia, the world’s most valuable chipmaker, has committed $683 million to Nscale, a London-based AI infrastructure company that only recently spun out of crypto miner Arkon Energy.  The investment underscores how crypto’s infrastructure legacy quietly fuels the next wave of AI growth. Mining-born data centers evolve into sovereign-scale computing hubs. Sponsored Sponsored Nvidia and Crypto Mining Roots Power AI Ambitions Nvidia’s partnership with Nscale will bring about 60,000 GPUs to UK data centers by 2026. The move underscores the scale of Nvidia’s investment and aligns with the UK’s broader AI policy goals. Notably, the announcement comes as political momentum builds under Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s 50-point AI action plan. It also comes as crypto-origin infrastructure converges with traditional tech giants. Microsoft and OpenAI have already pledged billions to AI campuses in Britain, while Nvidia is positioning itself at the intersection of blockchain roots and next-generation compute. Nscale’s origins lie in the energy-intensive world of digital asset mining. Arkon Energy founded the company to provide infrastructure for crypto mining. In 2024, the company pivoted to AI as demand for compute power outpaced blockchain returns. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang highlighted Nscale’s role in UK infrastructure, saying the company could become a “national champion for AI infrastructure in the UK.” Crypto Mining Roots Power AI Ambitions Sponsored Sponsored Crypto’s once-criticized data centers are now being redeployed for mainstream AI infrastructure. CoreWeave, which started as an Ethereum mining operation in 2017, now provides AI infrastructure to Microsoft, Google, Nvidia, and OpenAI. After pivoting to AI workloads, it went public in 2025 with a market cap of around $58 billion. Likewise, Hut 8, a Canadian Bitcoin miner, has expanded into high-performance computing services, striking partnerships with enterprise clients seeking GPU capacity.

Preliminary analysis of the Balancer V2 attack, which resulted in a loss of $120 million.

Preliminary analysis of the Balancer V2 attack, which resulted in a loss of $120 million.

On November 3, the Balancer V2 protocol and its fork projects were attacked on multiple chains, resulting in a serious loss of more than $120 million. BlockSec issued an early warning at the first opportunity [1] and gave a preliminary analysis conclusion [2]. This was a highly complex attack. Our preliminary analysis showed that the root cause was that the attacker manipulated the invariant, thereby distorting the calculation of the price of BPT (Balancer Pool Token) -- that is, the LP token of Balancer Pool -- so that it could profit in a stable pool through a batchSwap operation. Background Information 1. Scaling and Rounding To standardize the decimal places of different tokens, the Balancer contract will: upscale: Upscales the balance and amount to a uniform internal precision before performing the calculation; downscale: Reduces the result to its original precision and performs directional rounding (e.g., inputs are usually rounded up to ensure the pool is not under-filled; output paths are often truncated downwards). Conclusion: Within the same transaction, the asymmetrical rounding direction used in different stages can lead to a systematic slight deviation when executed repeatedly in very small steps. 2. Prices of D and BPT The Balancer V2 protocol’s Composable Stable Pool[3] and the fork protocol were affected by this attack. Stable Pool is used for assets that are expected to maintain a close 1:1 exchange ratio (or be exchanged at a known exchange rate), allowing large exchanges without causing significant price shocks, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of capital utilization between similar or related assets. The pool uses the Stable Math (a Curve-based StableSwap model), where the invariant D represents the pool's "virtual total value". The approximate price of BPT (Pool's LP Token) is: The formula above shows that if D is made smaller on paper (even if no funds are actually withdrawn), the price of BPT will be cheaper. BTP represents the pool share and is used to calculate how many pool reserves can be obtained when withdrawing liquidity. Therefore, if an attacker can obtain more BPT, they can profit when withdrawing liquidity. Attack Analysis Taking an attack transaction on Arbitrum as an example, the batchSwap operation can be divided into three stages: Phase 1: The attacker redeems BPT for the underlying asset to precisely adjust the balance of one of the tokens (cbETH) to a critical point (amount = 9) for rounding. This step sets the stage for the precision loss in the next phase. Phase Two: The attacker uses a carefully crafted quantity (= 8) to swap between another underlying asset (wstETH) and cbETH. Due to rounding down when scaling the token quantity, the calculated Δx is slightly smaller (from 8.918 to 8), causing Δy to be underestimated and the invariant D (derived from Curve's StableSwap model) to be smaller. Since BPT price = D / totalSupply, the BPT price is artificially suppressed. Phase 3: The attackers reverse-swap the underlying assets back to BPT, restoring the balance within the pool while profiting from the depressed price of BPT—acquiring more BPT tokens. Finally, the attacker used another profitable transaction to withdraw liquidity, thereby using the extra BPT to acquire other underlying assets (cbETH and wstETH) in the Pool and thus profit.
