What follows is an expanded version of a tweet I posted to X on Wednesday August 27th prior to the much-awaited Nvidia’s earnings release and call after the market closed. I had stopped for a late breakfast at the River View Diner in Edgewater NJ on the west side of the Hudson River. The Diner is 30 years old and likely had a view of New York at one time, but it now is a misnomer with the massive construction in that area. There were two ancient men two booths away from me. They were griping about rising medical costs, Medicare, food prices and their “pain in the ass near death wives. Then one of them drops this gem: “Good thing I held on to my NVIDA after I sold my government bonds in April, I’m told earnings should crush it this afternoon, or so my grandson says, and he and his friends are long up the ass”.

Hearing that reminded me of another incident back in 2000 when the burst in the Tech Bubble was just beginning to deflate. I had left my office on Broad Street after the close and walked down the steps to grab the #4 train uptown to meet clients. As I stood on the crowded platform waiting for the train, I overheard two young Brokers I recognized from Harry’s a few nights before chatting it up. “I sold my tech stocks” said one, “but I’m hanging onto my Biotech stocks”. “Yeah, I agree, they should weather the storm”. What these young bucks failed to consider was Biotech was just as over owned as Beenie Babies in the early 1990’s. Day’s later the CEO and I wrote a one-off published piece that discussed the crazy projected earnings and revenue assumptions that would follow and my technical concerns regarding several of them. The piece was picked up by Barrons and on Monday morning the phones lit up like Christmas trees. One client (who had sizeable Biotech position) screamed, YOU! No More Business for you. The chart below of Biogen shows what happened over the months that followed. I am not even being to say that my partner and I predicted or were responsible for the carnage that followed, only that when everyone owns it who’s left to buy? Very similar to when everyone at the cocktail party is touting something it’s best to run away.

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure

As crucial crypto-related legislation advances in the US Congress, lawmakers are evaluating introducing a digital assets market structure bill in the Senate in the coming weeks, which could add “another layer of complexity” to the uncertain surrounding digital assets legislation in the US.

US Senate To Introduce Crypto Market Structure Bill

The US Senate Banking Committee will hold a subcommittee hearing next week on a potential crypto market reform. The hearing, named “Exploring Bipartisan Legislative Frameworks for Digital Asset Market Structure,” is scheduled for Tuesday, June 24, and will be led by Senator Cynthia Lummis.

Journalist and podcast host Eleanor Terret reported that lawmakers are working on principles for the Senate’s version of a crypto market structure bill, which will be the focus of the upcoming hearing.

Terret shared that Republican Senator Tim Scott recently told her, “He’s hoping to hold a full committee hearing within the next month,” which would likely follow the release of a discussion draft.

The news follows the uncertainty surrounding the House of Representatives’ version of the crypto market structure legislation. A Tuesday report from Unchained claims that US President Donald Trump’s goal of passing the market structure bill by the August recess is in “serious jeopardy.”

According to the report, a spokesperson for Senator Scott, who is Chair of the Senate Banking Committee, said in an email that a markup session for the Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act of 2025 will not happen until the fall, despite the senator’s plan to hold a hearing session on the legislation in July.

Notably, the bill passed both the House Financial Services and House Agriculture Committees’ markups last week with bipartisan support, advancing to the full House floor vote.

However, negotiations over the language used in the bill have reportedly hit a wall, as bipartisan lawmakers have proposed standard language to address Democrats’ concerns about potential conflicts of interest by the President, Vice President, Congress Members, and their families, which the White House allegedly pushed back.

Terret noted that the introduction of the Senate’s version of the bill would add another layer of complexity as two separate legislative texts would be moving through four different Congressional committees.

Stablecoin Legislation Could Face Challenges

Meanwhile, the Senate passed the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act in a 68-30 vote on Tuesday afternoon. The bill, now headed to the House, is also expected to face some uncertainty in Congress’s lower chamber.

The bill, introduced by Republican Senator Bill Hagerty in February, aims to develop a framework for stablecoins to fall under the Federal Reserve Rules, establishing a “safe and pro-growth” regulatory framework to advance innovation.

According to Terret, the bill faces multiple challenges, including having to reconcile with the House’s version of the bill, the STABLE Act, and having some House leaders “pushing to package the stablecoin framework with some version of the CLARITY Act,” as it could allegedly improve the odds of both bills clearing Congress before the August deadline.

Speaking off the record, a House lawmaker told Terret that advancing both bills is a priority, as passing just the GENIUS Act without the market structure bill could slow broader crypto legislation.

“I just don’t buy the idea that passing one builds momentum for the other,” the congress member affirmed. Nonetheless, lawmakers remain optimistic about the odds of both crypto bills passing in the coming months.
